Hey guys I am looking at getting a BB 8830 to replace my pearl for a couple reasons:
Bigger
Ability to talk worldwide
Here are my questions:
I have US Cellular as my SP, how exactely does the world wide use work? I dont need any specifics on pricing but do you have to pay more when you are out of the country? I am planning on traveling to Kenya for a few months so this is important to me
Also does this have an MP3 player? I thought it did but I read a review and it said it cannot play music?
It just has a radio in it that operates on european gsm frequencies and has a SIM card slot. What you would do is buy a sim card from a carrier wherever you are and use that in the phone.
Yes it can play mp3s, but you will want a media card to store them on.

Yes, a pretty good MP3 player. With 4.2.2.x OS you can have a microSDHC card up to 4GB. If you upgrade to the beta 4.5.0.77 OS, you can support an 8GB card (this is what I have) which works great!
That is with a Sprint 8830, I'm assuming that yours will work the same way...

Thanks for the help! Ya I went to Kenya last summer and I had to buy a cell phone/sim card over there because my Razr did not have the SIM slot. So if that is the case that I can just put the sim in it that would be fantastic. And I got an 8 GB micro SD with a bunch of songs from my pearl I just wanted to make sure they would play on the 8830. Thanks again for the help!
