Blackberry?

Mar 18, 2008 by moi | Posted in Cell Phones & Plans

I have a blackberry, and I was wondering how I am charged to use the Blackberry messenger. Do you need internet? And how do they charge for the pin-to-pin messages? Are they counted like SMS messages?


Pin to Pin messages count like instant messages and texts, they are $.15cents per incoming/out messages. Yes you need a data plan to connect ...then the messaging plan..yes they are definilty counted as sms.

ps. i work for customer ca

Im pretty sure you need a data plan and for t-mobile that runs about $20 a month. Text messages are text but everything else usually is data driven which in turn means you need a data plan. I wanted a blackberry once until i found out about that little

I am considering getting a black berry pearl in the next month, i would like to listen to music and type homework on it. Does anybody have any feedback on their blackberry pearl to help me decide if i


Well, let me be the first to tell you that, yes it's all that. Easy to navigate? It has a pretty slick trackball that does that. As for battery life, I've only ran it down completely once, and that was because I was too lazy to charge it. The camera isn't

i'm sorry but what do you mean by type homework on it? it's a nice phone but it's not a laptop.

to listen to music on it you will have to purchase a memory card.

BlackBerry?

can u get a blackberry but not actually use the phone for e-mail? I really want a new phone, but I have sprint, and I can't find any phone that is not a flip that is decent. So I would like to see if


there's no point in a blackberry (I'll shorten it to BB for the rest of this answer) without data. You can do it - I mean, you can get any service your device and SIM card support - but its useless.

Having said that, there are two options

How does blackberry internet differ from that of a regular cell phone?

Jun 12, 2009 by Meg | Posted in PDAs & Handhelds

I have Verizon and am confused on how blackberry's work versus regular cell phones. If you turn off internet access on a blackberry, you cannot make phone calls or text messages. Why is this? Does their


Firstly, the answer has nothing to do with the question that was asked. Secondly, you can have the data plan off the phone on a CDMA network as long as the provisioning features are on the account. You won't see EX, you would only see 1x instead of

does blackberry messenger work on an unlocked phone when you put a different sim card?

Sep 15, 2010 by Suk W | Posted in Mobile Phones & Plans

My sister is giving me her blackberry bold 9700 soon, she's on O2 and i'm on 3. The phone is unlocked so I was just wondering whether i can use blackberry messenger using my sim card because my sim card


If it has an INTERNET data plan (e.g. 500 websites a month, or unlimited browsing) then no, but if it has a data plan you can use for anything (e.g. 500MB a month) then check with your provider, usually just ask and they'll pay for you to have it.

Does Blackberry poll the server every fifteen minutes to update the information for the user?

Dec 01, 2008 by Vatsal | Posted in Computer Networking

Some say the Blackberry goes to the server every 15 minutes to check for any data in the email, this process is called 'Polling' and others reveal that the BlackBerry does not poll the server to look for


The Blackberry, like every cell type of device polls. But it does not mean what you describe. The polling that takes place is a "keep-alive" type of data packet. The purpose is to let the network know where the phone is located physically

Verizon BlackBerry Torch 9850 to Take on Motorola Droid Bionic 4G LTE Today

18.05.40

(5.7 Percent) and Symbian (1.9 percent).”

Although RIM’s shares went down few months back, with the launch of seven new smartphones RIM is expected to climb back up in days to come. The new models include BlackBerry Bold 9900/9930, BlackBerry Torch 9810 and BlackBerry Torch 9850/9860. Even Motorola has not seen any major boost after the launch of Motorola Atrix in January 2011. Motorola only introduced a few major smartphones like Motorola Droid X2, Motorola Droid 3 and Motorola Photon 4G. But with the launch of Droid Bionic Motorola expects to gain back the market share from top-end smartphones.

The BlackBerry Torch 9850 is the CDMA version of RIM’s second generation Torch smartphone. As of now Torch 9850 will be available online from Verizon Wireless starting with September 8 and will be available in stores from September 15. The phone retails at for $199.99 when purchased with new two-year contracts. However, the BlackBerry Torch 9850 going to Sprint is available for $149.99 with contract. And the phone without contract is priced at $599.99.

BlackBerry Bold 9900 (T-Mobile)

18.05.99

The Bold 9900 is a tri-band HSPA 14.4 (850/1700/2100 MHz) and quad-band EDGE (850/900/1800/1900 MHz) device with 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi. That means it works on 3G networks both here and abroad. Note that while T-Mobile claims this is a 4G BlackBerry, it really isn’t, because it only supports HSPA 14.4. Expect download speeds averaging 3 Mbps, slower than the 5 Mbps and greater averages we've seen from truly 4G, HSPA+ 21 devices like the Samsung Galaxy S 4G ($99, 4 stars).

Inexplicably, the BlackBerry Bold 9900 has no Wi-Fi calling ability. That's unusual for a T-Mobile phone, and a disappointment. I also had very poor 3G signal reception in a marginal T-Mobile area in Massachusetts, where the Samsung Exhibit 4G ($29.99, 3.5 stars) had no trouble finding 3G - so Wi-Fi calling would have been welcome.

BlackBerry Torch 9850 review

18.05.42

Hardware

When I went to Toronto in early August to see RIM’s brand new family of BlackBerry smartphones , I walked away most impressed with the Torch 9850. It was thin, I loved the hardware buttons, the onscreen keyboard seemed to work well and I appreciated the rounded edges. After spending a week with the Torch 9850 and the Bold 9930 side by side, I’ve found myself gravitating to the Bold 9930. The Torch 9850 clearly has a high-end design, but it’s not as polished and luxurious feeling as the Bold 9930.

RIM's new BlackBerry phones faring well with enterprise, consumer ...

by Zach Epstein

“Our August checks indicated strong initial Bold 9930 sales to the large installed Verizon enterprise base, but most store managers indicated limited sales to consumer customers that continue to choose the iPhone or Android smartphones versus BlackBerry,” the analysts wrote. “With the Bold 9900 the first compelling new BlackBerry in nearly two years for Verizon customers, we were encouraged as our checks indicated Verizon’s large BlackBerry enterprise base appears to have strong demand for the first BlackBerry OS 7 device on Verizon’s network. However, our more consumer-centric retail store checks indicated smartphone consumers continue to overwhelmingly choose the iPhone 4 or new Android smartphones versus the $250 Bold 9900.”

RIM’s latest touchscreen BlackBerry is launching on Verizon later this week. The Touch 9850 will hit VZW’s online marketplace on the 8th with retail stores getting the handset on the 15th.

The phone taps a 1.2GHz CPU to run BlackBerry 7 on its 3.7-inch touchscreen. A quad-band mobile radio makes the 9850 a global traveler while the rest of the standard suite of WiFi, Bluetooth, and GPS completes the connectivity options. Verizon’s 9850 offering hits at $50 more than Sprint’s Touch model, but $50 less than Verzion’s own 9930 Bold BlackBerry. Not that the price matters as this phone is clearly for the BlackBerry loyalist as Android and the iPhone have clearly taken over as the everyman’s smartphone.
