i cna't believe it took me a couple of days to realize that i could look up porn on my phone. that's as much fun to do on the train as plkaying brick breaker. i just wish i could watch videos. for some reason i cna't get any to play.




btw, i'm with sprint and pay $50/mo for unlimited data, nav, and the other things that make getting a blackberry or any of the other similar phones worth it.

Dude you should have gone with the Palm Treo. You can run Google maps on that too, plus the BART quick planner and play monopoly while your on the train. Its got Mail, voice memo, Internet, wireless sync, Mp3, Pictures, Infrared beaming, an SD Card slot, and all kinds of stuff...

The new Palm Centro is badass, and has the Palm O/S and not the shitty windows mobile platform

I thought the BB could play youtube vids, no?

Im with verizon so I cant get the centro but the Treo 750p is badass too. and of course the p stands for Palm OS.

I recently got a BB 8830WE (I'm posting this from it right now) and I love it.  I haven't tried playing any videos yet.  YouTube here I come...

I'm not 100% sure but I think it has to do with most video's being in Flash and most mobile devices not supporting it.  You can probably check youtube to check.  If you can watch video's there then you should be set.  I was getting excited to get an iphone thinking I'd be able to watch vids but then I found out that there's no flash support so no vids, and that the youtube app they have was specifically written for them so that's why it has youtube.

i can't do anything that required java, and i havne't tried anything that i knew was flash.

if youtube is flash then i cna't do flash either.

Be aware that the GPS has to be "unlocked" or "enabled" by a dealer for the google maps thing to work. With that done you can use the google maps thingy for free (with your data plan). I like it better than the telenav.

Get a memory card for it. Then you can use it as an mp3 player in your car, etc.

The videos must be in mp4 format to play.

The more I learn about my 8310, the more I like it. My gf has a Palm Treo and I'm not fond of it. And she keeps losing the stylus.

I also just got the Sirius XM radio Mobile thingy. Decent. We'll see how I end up liking it...

I've had good luck with this site (thanks to Bick's forwarding me the link) http://crackberry.com/

The only thing I don't like about my 8310 is that it needs additional software (not free stuff) to run PDFs.

The s/o just talked me into going to Verizon.    We came out with 2 BB Curve phones..8830C. 
Right now..I'm not too excited about the thing but it has everything.     
We finally dropped T-Mobile after several years.  That's what I'm most happy about.

I am so done with Black Berrys. I used them at work for as long as I can remember.

Now I just use my Iphone. My fiancee is interested in getting the new curve though so we are going to go check it out in a few minutes.

[Xiphias]

Don't get them wet or put'em in the pocket of your jacket when riding.

[ROBsS4R]

So I just played with the black Berry curve for about 30 minutes and I really don't like it.

The trackball on it feels really gritty and not smooth at all. The screen looks lower quality as well.
Since they were saying it was as nice as the Iphone screen I would have to disagree.

Yeah I know its not suppose to compete with an Iphone but after browsing the entire Verizon store and all the current phones I found nothing that even came close to replacing my Iphone and I am not a apple fan boy either. I normally stay away from apple products.

I didn't even like the LG Voyager. The touch screen was a huge disappointment and lots of the applications don't even utilize the whole screen.
