So far everyone just loves their Blackberries! I'm impressed!

i don't really go into many "rural" areas.. my work is in the hills and i get good reception there! & many people don't!!

i don't ever remember, NOT having reception.. the whole time i've had my phone!

but i guess it just depends!

My contract with Alltel is up on February 3rd and I'm debating upgrading to a Blackberry. I just don't know if it's going to be worth the extra money though. The lowest plan that Alltel has is $89.99- that's $50 more than the plan I have now!

I asked the sales girl that same question today

She said there was not too much diff except for the touch screen and some ppl like that, but she said the Curve is faster...that the Storm has a slight delay??? of course I have nothing to compare that too, so I don't know. I know the storm has a higher camera mp.

My storm has no delay. There might have been a slight delay before the OS upgrade, but none since. You would not believe the video on the storm. Go to a verizon store and check it out. It is like watching a mini HDTV.

AT&T, T-mobile, Cellular One and Alltel are the only providers available in Manhattan. Alltel and Verizon are supposed to be merging but haven't yet. My problem is that both my parents and my fiance's parents live way out in the country and Alltel is about the only thing that gets service there so I hate to change to a provider that doesn't have service when we go home to visit.

Ok I'm a total nut. I swear, sometimes I don't know how I make it through the day

I must have read her post too fast - I don't know WHY - but I thought she said that she had a Blackberry BOLD. Ugh! I am such a moron

LOL. The *Bold* is what I was talking about - I may look into one when my next upgrade rolls around

And I am sooooo this close to ordering the pink one!!!!!!!!

Anyone have pink

Thats what I am going to do too once my husbands upgrade is ready, I think it's in March. I was just at the Verizon store yesterday to replace my son's lost phone when My husband told me I would get the upgrade, he likes his phone

Anyway's I was debating about the Dare but I am really liking the Blackberry Storm or Curve. Oh my I am going to be going nuts making up my mind.....Decisions, Decisions

Breny · 01-16-2009, 04:16 PM

OKAYYYYYYYYYY with all of everyones WONDERFUL reviews I went ahead and did the upgrade! It will be here Monday!!!

Ok..now tell me al the cool things I can do! I for sure want to get my yahoo mail and messenger on it. What else can I do?

What about ringtones?

wishies · 01-16-2009, 06:33 PM

FYI - i spoke to a customer today who came in my store that works for alltel and the merge is official as of sometime last week i think? but starting in february (not sure the exact date) verizon customers can start calling alltel customers using IN network calling so it would be free. on the otherhand, alltel customers wont be able to call verizon customers with the IN network calling until march. not sure how valid this is i'd have to talk to our verizon rep. also, customers who have alltel who dont renew their current calling plans will have to change to verizon plans soon!!

this is good news for me because my boyfriend has alltel, i'm in his circle anyway so that doesn't matter but now i can call him for free

you can actually make your own ringtones and put them on your phone! theres a few websites where you can make your own for free and then you can save it to your computer then you can transfer it to your blackberry. it would be a good idea to get a memory card for your phone if you wanna store a lot of stuff (pictures, videos, ringtones). theres a bunch of apps you can get on your phone, a lot of good ones for free. i always use google & google maps on mine.

you need to visit crackberry.com!

Never lost my Verizon signal and the BB was wonderful to have contact on the net when i needed it! Now i don't know how i could do without it!! I love the pink pearl...matches my lap top too!! I love pink!!!

Breny · 01-19-2009, 02:12 PM
