Default Stupid Question -- But it's bugging the **** outta me

Please Login to Remove!

I went with my brother to pick up a new Telus handset as his contract was up, he decided on an HTC, however while there I was in a small argument with the rep as to whether Blackberries can open PDF attachments. I know for a fact that my Rogers 8310 can and I told her so, she adamantly refused to believe and finally chalked it up to rogers being able to open them but telus blackberries cannot. This makes no sense as I assume that the base blackberry OS's would be similar in features.

The fact is that it really doesn't matter to me either way but it sparked my curiosity and I have no Telus blackberry to test on so I was wondering if someone here could confirm or debunk her claim, just so I can stop thinking about it.

TIA

Not a BB limitation

Possible a limitation of the network

Yeah I kinda figured that the blackberry itself should be able to do it, but it's odd that they would block them as a network limitation. Guess maybe what she should have said was that the blackberry could view PDF's but their network won't allow it.

Anyways thanks for the response, at least I know I wasn't completely off my rocker.

They don't block them, she was wrong.

Chalk it up to an unedumacated sales rep.

Telus is a company of fools. You can explain it that simply.
