Ditched iPhone and got a Tour
- Clovis, don't rush to Verizon to swap phones just yet. The Tour has a lot of potential, but there are two problems that to the best of my knowledge, haven't been resolved yet:
1. People have trouble hearing you if you're using your Tour with any Bluetooth device. That complaint's been rampant in many Blackberry Tour forums and
2. Even BerryBuzz doesn't give the phone a way to give you audio notices of a voice mail message at any interval more than an hour or so.
Congrats OP on the Tour! Get to know all of the shortcuts, they really make the device that much better.10-03-09 08:01 PMLike 0 - I love the CB community!! What a welcoming group! I've had my Tour for 5 days and I LOVE IT!! The only bummer is that there isn't any WiFi, but I have 2 computers at home so I don't really NEED it.
Thanks so much for all the congrats on my upcoming daughter! My wife and I couldn't be more excited!
PS: Any iPhone forum I was ever on was full of condescending a**holes so its great to see that CB is a much friendlier community.10-04-09 05:23 PMLike 0 -
- I dumped my iPhone for a Crackberry Tour
While I did like the iPhone, I was WAY too fed up with my terrible AT&T service. I'm married with a baby on the way and we wanted a family plan to lessen the cost of our bills, and wouldn't you know it.... AT&T doesn't support a family plan when an iPhone is involved.
So.... good riddance AT&T and iPhone!!
Now if I could only get past the learning curve.....
I have a touch and I don't even use it at home or g/fs when surfing web. I go right for the tour. Only beats tour on games so I gotta keep it!

Edit: I am running 2.1.2.2 and I just checked and you can set auditory reminders.

I strongly considered the iPhone, but I hate touch-screen keyboards and being a former AT&T/Cingular customer, I know how crappy the coverage was in my neighborhood.
Anyway, this forum (and website) is an excellent resource for information, tips, and tricks!
Enjoy!10-04-09 08:33 PMLike 0 -

What version of berry buzz you using? Mine has alert reminders but I only like led so I'm not sure if it its audible or vibrate whatever but try updating.
