remember that thread
where you said blackberry's have always had phones

you're right though
they're sweet little machines
i know the day i get one is the day my workload triples, minimum

Haha. My gf's father used to work in management for the company that makes them.

The prototypes are far more badass.

I am always right, faggot

8/25/2005 5:53:53 PM

i stand corrected

8/25/2005 5:54:08 PM

PS: Which phone did you have?

8/25/2005 5:54:19 PM

motorola mpx220.

the problems: the output volume can be low in a really loud area, but i dont really mind. the photo/video camera sucks, but i use my digital camera when i want to take pics anyways.

i got it so i could use it in the UK. i just picked up a cheap Orange (one of their mobile providers) SIM card for 5 pounds and it worked fine with it. it also has a mini SD expansion support, so i can use it as a mp3 player (although you do need a 2.5mm headphone adapter or bluetooth headphones, cause normal 3.5mm headphones won't fit).

treo 670
w/ windows mobile os
EV-DO
1.3 megapixel camera

Jon:

the treo 670 isn't anything but a rumor still. Nobody really knows where it is in the development cycle and you can't buy one anywhere.

All the videos prove is that the device CAN run Windows.

I'm very wary of any report that says Palm is going to do anything with Windows Operating Systems.

honestly id rather just have a phone. i had an option of using a blackberry while i was interning this summer or just using the phone i had already (i already had cingular and thast what hte company used) but i had no need for it i guess

8/26/2005 4:10:36 AM

once you use it you cant go without it, in a sense

if im driving to lunch and someone sends an email to my work address, i get it almost instantaneously on my bb handheld and can reply right there

and i dare anyone to even think they have a higher Brickbreaker score than I

^--Windows Mobile & Exchange can do the same thing - if set up properly. Exchange 2003 SP2 along with Windows Mobile 5.0 will only make that more obvious..but, considering the fact that verizon EV-DO went live in the area this morning - gotta go with this over a blackberry:

Audiovox VX6600

although, we're getting BES to sit on top of exchange as well..for those who hear blackberry and can't be persuaded otherwise...so to each their own!
