I just called Verizon to see if I could add my Moto E815 as a second line to my BB MaxChoice 4000 minute plan and was told that was not possible. Do I need to keep calling back until I get a different answer, or is this really the case?

While the BB 8703e is OK as a phone, I really miss the voice dial capability of the E815. I especially like being able to tap the button on my headset, say "call John Smith Mobile" and automatically be connected. Far more fumbling required on the BB, unless I've got a speed dial set up, and even that is harder than simply talking to the phone to tell it who to call . . .

I tried the same thing, and they told me no as well. I ended up having to start a new family plan instead of my max choice. It's a bit more expensive, but worth it in my opinion.

Just one. The 8700. Looking for the right software to get the "today screen" back from the Molibe PC days.

I think it's going to be quite a bit more expensive, since the unlimited data plan is only $20 on the 4K min. MaxChoice plan. That would go up, and there's an extra $10 for the second phone line. I might get away with a plan that has fewer minutes, but that will be close.

Keeping my fingers crossed that 4.2 has voice dial . . .

i might be joining some of you. currently i have my 7100i as a business and personal phone. i'm thinking of getting the 8700g for personal and changing my 7100i for i580.

Only carry a Blackberry 8700c since November 2005 .... Slightly too big in my pocket, but it's only in my pocket on weekends when I'm out on the town ...

I highly recommend this for borderline addicts.

I commend you for being just a "borderline addict"!

Myself, well there's no hope, as I'm a full blown, out of warranty addict....

I travel a lot, and therefore much like one carries both business and casual clothes, I carry 3 phones so I have choice depending on what I'm doing. All on one line via the sim card swap.

During the week I use the 8700c. Business travel weekends I use the 7130c. Weekends when I want to totally disconnect it's the RAZR.

I must say that having had a number of motorola phones which were very poor, I was hestitant to try a RAZR. However I was drawn to the small and thin shape as I'm not a phone on the belt type of person.

Well I must have gotten lucky, as my RAZR is well made, nearly 2 years old and has the best call quality and reception of any phone I've had. And I have had far too many phones.

That said, my absolute favorite is the 7130c. I like absolutely everything about this model. I would highly suggest it to anyone that does not want a full sized BlackBerry.

i have a Cingular bb 8700c with just a data plan and i also have my regular T-Mobile phone.

I have the new VZW casio g'zone phone as my regular cell phone and a BB 8700g for data only. I carry the BB on my belt but pocket the cell cause I'd hate to be seen wearing 2 on the belt!

[shaun944]

I'm doing just fine using my 8700g as both a phone and for BB data functions. Its not quite as quick to call someone as my last cel phone was, but its really like 1-2 seconds longer to pull up a name, not a big deal at all.

talk-time is great, signal is strong and clarity is good and its not too bulky to use as a phone. I had a v70 for years which I loved, it was small, good signal and bulletproof, but I really don't miss anything from having a dedicated 'phone'.

[sincere759]

Well i like having a dedicated phone and data device so thats why i carry a moto v3i and just went back to my 8700g because my pearl was giving me problems. I like to be able to talk on my v3i and look up information or send emails and not have to wait or try and remember when i get off the phone to do something. Also very helpful for those long convos wit the girlfriend when she is rambling because i can surf the net and let her get her time on the phone lol, but dont tell her that! Now if they ever come out wit a 3G blackberry were i can do everything at once while yacking on a bluetooth headset then i might consider going to one phone!

[orgullodemexico]

Count me in.

I have an LG VX8100 on Verizon for talking and an 8700g on TMO.

I used a BB on Nextel back when I had that service and I had a tough time looking up/adding/saving a contact or calendar event while talking on the phone.

I don't find it all that much bother to carry two devices. I love TMO pricing on the Blackberry, 29.95 unlimited (it goes down to 19.95 if I had a TMO calling plan).

I also have a girlfriend that feels I pay more attention to my Blackberry than I do her. I remind her of that when she's on the phone with her best friend and wastes airtime minutes with her jibberish/babble/senseless chatter. It all washes out in the end. When I remind her that my Blackberry doesn't whine, doesn't ask for drinks or dinner and can be shut off at the touch of a button she clams up.

[rmreid]

Just one for me and thats my new 8700C issued by my company so no investment or bills on my behalf
But the best part is that I get unlimited personal calls/messages/emails for only $10.00 a month which saves me from categorizing business from personal each month

[Fiasco]

I used to carry both the 8700c and a Razr, but carrying 2 phones is cumbersome and oftentimes quite pointless to me. So now I just use the 8700c.

[Rollosteva]

Hi guys. This is my first post.
I used to carry both the Lg U8138 as a personal phone and 8700g for business ...

[blackbelt]

I've been using the bb alone since they allow voice/data....

now that I can use the sprint 8703e as a highspeed modem at no extra charge... I fwd calls to a lg lx350(works on analog frequencies in areas the blackberry has no service).. it's the best analog phone Sprint has to offer

until the phone can act as a modem and simultaneously handle the im/voice/email some of us will be stuck with 2 phones...
