3 for 1. It's like an England cricket score

[Huguenot]

I've got the 8900 and it's the best Blackberry I've owned, by a long hop.

[jaybee82]

The 8520 is a good bit of kit. 8310 is an old model and about to be phased out.

[Jeremy]

I've got one.

Work gave it to me.

I check my email on it.

I don't know what model it is.

Hope that helps.

[Moos]

Ha ha!

What Jeremy says. It's not the old comes-in-blue-or-black one, it's the silver one slightly larger than the palm of my medium-sized hand.

[Ted Max]

How does it look in your big hand?

[Moos]

I can't tell, my tiny hand is frozen to it.

I had them since they first came out and they were great but moved to an Android based phone( T-mobile G1) which is far better for pretty much everything except battery life.

Mimi dear, what did you think when Roy Wood left? Was 'Blackberry' still the same?

I require a qwerty keyboard if I am to use a phone for email so I started off with the Curve. It was life changingly good. Then I moved on to the Storm, it was frightful and rubbish, so within a month, I moved onto the Bold, which I found was a delight.

However, right now, I want a new iPhone. The screen is terrific for the internet, you can see full size versions of e-commerce sites that you use on your desk-top, and the keyboard, although a screen, is the best I have seen yet. My darling man changes his phone more often than he walks our dog, and I am seething with jealousy regarding the speed of his phone internet, it is breath-takingly good. I have several work email addresses, and I need access to them all when I am out and about. The new iphone 3GS has the edge right now, by a long shot.

There are apps for everything you can imagine with the IPhone, from shopping on Ocado, to a spirit level. I WANT ONE...

[mockney piers]

Can you have an edge by a long shot?

[dulwichmum]

You know what I mean sweetie.

Ugh, the blackberry is so irritating. I used mine for a week (literally) and then threw it into a drawer. I recommend the iphone (esp if you use a Mac) as there are a lot of helpful features.*

* sorry if this thread isn't really about mobile telephones.

Maybe they're sending you texts

Or checking your facts on google ?

W**F

Is the Apple phone available on any other network soon ?

"who is this dumbass Limey?"

"He's a jerk"

"I've just googled his stuff, it's Bull"

"Hey, see the Stealers last night? Awesome."

I have a G2. It's amazing. I video-d the unboxing. If the iphone is the Jesus phone this is the God phone. It's taken my life to a far far better place. You should get one.

Whoo.

Better?

[woofmarkthedog]

Ohhhh now I reaaaaaaaaaaly want one too.

recently back from a short trip to Canada where pretty much everyone has them, so they can all chat using some sort of instant messenger thingy. Means that they never check their messages so as a purveyor of a humble ring-or-text type device, I was outgunned and often not replied to... I thought they looked better than an iphone if you need to do anything proper on them due to the proper keyboard, but iphones seem to have more toys. "Business or pleasure" seems to be the question...

I like my blackberry curve 8900 - it's shiny shiny and smaller than those bold feckers. The newer curve may have a trackpad, but it's not the phone for me - more thoughts from someone more knowledgable here

Also, unlike fat-fingered iphone users, I don't litter my emails with typos.
