I am , in Violet and I'm dead excited only a couple of days to go .
I've heard all the positive things you can do with a BB device , I've read the BB 101's on CrackBerry and I can't wait to use my new device ; I'm itching to hold it with my hands ; I'm gonna become addicted , its inevitable , hahaha .
Cons - Lack of flash(doesn't bother me that much), lack of 3G (compensated by WI-FI support), lack of built-in GPS(compensated by the external bluetooth one), a few minor bugs and some missing options, that can be found in the 8530(like setting your phone to ring and vibrate at the same time right from the beggining when ou are receiving a phone call), lack of pod charging support.
Pro's - Everything else The incredible qulity of the 2 Mp camera, the incredible sound it provides(the 3.5 mm jack it has allows maximum connectivity to virtually any ordinary headphones, speakers, sound systems), the quality of videos, when converted to .m4v (close to .mkv - HD 1080 P), the cursor of the native browser, which is absolutely fantastic, the trackpad, giving you the feeling you're on a laptop, the support for up to 32 Gb of external memory, the support for official apps like Yahoo! Messenger, Facebook, Opera 5 mini beta, built-in e-mail client, the incredible customization it provides (e.g. - You can turn all the colours on everything on the phone to Black&White or reverse, whithout changing the theme), the bedside mode for the clock, with various customizations, the voice dialling which is great(You kinda have a conversation with the phone it goes like this : (Phone): Say a command. (Me): Dad (Phone): Did you mean Dad? (Me): Yes (Phone): Calling Dad. And it beggins the call), the PC-like functions of booting up in safe-mode, turning off to standby, or hibernate, or even virus scan, the possibility of communication freely with anyone anywhere on the globe with a blackberry through blackberry messenger, and many many others, don't want to be too much of a spoiler.
Overall : It's a great phone, best I've ever had, and I've had quite a few believe me You'll have fun with it, and anything you want to ask, you're welcome to do it here
I am I am! lol it's a gift for me myself and I. I got the white T mobile one I hope I love it. I had the 8900 which I miss terribly BUT I am going to give this one a try
Got mine yesterday but didnt really have a play with it as it was locked to orange.
Got it unlocked today and upgraded my vodafone contract to include BB plan.
