1. Blackberry messenger, does it charge? and can i group chat? (wish i had more friends to add to try this, they are still hung up one windows mobile, they dont wanna pay for the bberry package)
2. Security, i know in bes if someone sets it up, if a phone is lost then the person who finds it has to enter the right pw, if they dont, then the phone will format itself. is there a way to do that with bis?? we are small business and i would love that feature. We have a 8703 and 8830 w./ VZ and an 8830 w/ Sprint...
2. Actually, the password security feature has nothing to do with BIS or BES -- it is a basic BB feature. With a password set, you determine how many invalid attempts are allowed -- and after that number of invalid attempts, the BB is wiped. Great feature, just don't forget your password !!
BES has a feature that can remotely wipe a device if it is lost or stolen, done by the BES administrator.
As noted above, the messenger feature uses data, so with a data plan there is no charge, and there is no per message charge. It only works with other BB's.
I am going to try that with my old 8703 and see what happens... if this works and wipes !! I AM ONBOARD!! everyone at the office is going to be forced FORCED I SAY to bberry
