Every time I used to travel back home (Montreal to Lebanon, 17 hours) I'd have to keep my laptop on my backpack to stay connected while at Heathrow since I have plenty of time to spare!
This morning I just realized I don't have to do that again! I can pack that bulky laptop in my traveling bag and depend on my lovely Blackberry Bold to be my company!
Isn't that awesome?
Lol, as stupid as it may sound, I just discovered that!
Isn't it great when you finally realize just how wonderful your Blackberry is!!!
It is awesome, isn't it? I don't need to take my laptop with me anymore to keep me company on breaks at school. I have my 8900 to keep me company, and if I absolutely need a computer I can surrender to the use of the computer lab computers for a few minutes. It is one of the things I absolutely love about having a BlackBerry!
I've never loved a device as much as I've loved this one.
You know, I thought it would be just another "yay" device for the first month or so... but it's literally my life. It's the first thing I look at in the morning and the last at night.
I'm totally in love!
Dang... I thought you had this type of A-Ha, moment. That'd be rad...

yeah, but u dont want to put it in a non-carry on!
My Mom's from Lebanon!
And I agree with chelsey. I always bring my laptop in my carry on, even if I don't plan on using it.
Why not? It's not safe?
Oh.. that reminds me of a story.. when i was working in SF my entire dept travelled to NY for business.. on the way back a co-worker decides to check his laptop.. i laughed and told him.. if you expect that to come out on the other side, you're crazy.
Sure enough.. he never saw it again.
no... someone will pick it up faster then they drop a hot potato... see the post above!
I had that kind of A-Ha moment last night when I loaded my "80's One-Hit Wonders" playlist on my 8900.
LMAO. That's exactly what I was thinking.
I can relate though, never ever knew the capabilities of a blackberry, until I got one. Now, I can't live without it.
Lol! I've had that moment myself. It's like, why do I need a laptop anymore when I've got this awesome phone... Then, I remember, you can't play games on it (the big ones... mmorpg mostly). :(
Hello I am with Rogers in Montreal. I have a Blackberry Bold. I would like to use it in Lebanon to send and receive emails mostly.
Rogers is telling me
that I cannot remove voice mail from my bb as I will lose this service (it includes call display, voice mail etc.) - I dont want to be charge for incoming calls
that there is no data service for my bb in Lebanon that there is no GPRS
What to do?
Should I get someone to unlock my bb and if so would i be able to use my bb to send and receive emails when in Lebanon?
If I am able with a new sim card and an unlock bb, how would I send emails perhaps from an hotmail account ?
Any help would be appreciated as I am not too familiar with all of this.

I am reading this forum and it appears that I will have to get my phone unblock in order to be able to use it in Lebanon
So
I am assuming that the Sim card is the card inside (in the back) of my Blackberry Bold ?
Where will I go to buy a Sim card to use in Lebanon?
How much will it cost me for a sim card in Lebanon?
Do I have to wait to buy the Sim card in Lebanon?
Will I be able to send and received emails from Canada?
I would have liked to have access when I get to Beirut Aiport
So many things I dont have a clue but trying to learn :)
Thanks guys.
Paul
PM sent. :)
The BlackBerry saved me from having to buy a laptop. The moment I started using a Curve, bang, a whole new world opened up!
