Just got a new Blackberry torch phone and was wondering do any of you guys have a blackberry and what do you think of it? Do you use the BBM? and do you view the forum on it and if so what way? ie the phones own browser or opera mini or another method?
 
BB Bold 9700 at present, and no, to be honest, haven't used BBM much at all only on and off, and haven't accessed to forum from it either. Lenny has a Torch and fairly sure he's playing with just about everything it can do at the moment.

I like the Bold though - it's my preferred mobile email device.

I've got a torch bud, and so far I loves it. I do use BBM but only know 2 other people with BB's at the mo so only have 2 contacts.

I view the forum as normal in the browser, provided you have 3G reception it's fine. Tapatalk is pants on it as it's still in the beat stage. As Bill said e-mail is awesome and in general I'm very happy, the screen is good and the added bonus of a keypad can be handy at times.
 
Looked at the BB Torch but in the end opted for the HTC Desire HD only due to the 4.3" screen and that way I can carry the GN pdf's (now I've converted them) and the OSG & Big Red Book all in my pocket and not worry about ever needing to open a book to check a regulation again

I am the same 2 friends with BBM
 
i've got the storm 2 good phone still trying to work most of it lol, i had it 5 months and destroyed it looked like it was 10 year old phone, screen scrathed and damaged back cover was silver as all black rubbed off, was full of dust and dirt,sent it off to blackberry as it started to freeze etc and they replaced every part on on it, so now have new looking phone again.
 
Whats the camera like on the storm? I have a blackberry curve and the standard of pictures and video is awful!

Blackberry aren't reknowned for their video/camera ability - the new Torch has a 5Mp camera, Curve 2Mp. The BOld/Storm has 3.2Mp which is, at best ok.

If it's video or camera you're after, Android it on a budget, or iPhone it if money no object.
 
camera is good on it takes better pictures than my htc desire and seems better than my iphone has autofocus capability + broader dynamic color

My Desire takes FAR better pics than my Bold does - every single time. Higher resolution, better quality, more advanced camera controls, and so on.
 
I tried contacting you this morning via BBM Bill.........still says pending???

Really? I answered your ping mate - and accepted - it says all hooked up this end......Biggedy Biggedy bong so it is....LOL!

I know the O2 signal here is complete rectal deposit here though.

Check your BBM and if it still says pending, let me know and I'll try to BBM you....
 
I've got the bold as well, had it around 5 mths and can just about type on it now :D! Flippin buttons are tiny. Strangely enough I too only have 2 BBM contacts !!
Like it so far though seems pretty indestrutable and the case is handy for keeping the worst of the dust out.
Forum works fine normally have a quick read when i'm sat on the throne.
 
got an oldish bb8800 and want to upgrade. not sure if I want to stay with bb though, originally got it due to email capabilities at the time. like the look of the 9700.
want mobile internet access, note and calander functionality but mainly fast text entry and am dubious of touch screen keyboards but like their large screen for browsing. cant win can you.
what other phones did you guys consider.
