14 year old potential bb user
- Well, when I was 14 (only 5 years ago, lol), I had a Clie Palm that literally NEVER left my hand. I didn't have internet on it or anything, but I always used it.
I'm okay with the idea that technology is changing and that 14 yr olds have Blackberries.
I would say though, if you have Wi-Fi at school AND at home, don't get the data plan, especially if you're on ATT, because it's so expensive. I have Wi-Fi all over my campus, but I have a data plan because it's so darn unreliable.
If it was reliable, I would get rid of the data plan and save me some money!03-17-09 11:05 PMLike 0 - When I was 14 cell phones came in bags and cost thousands. Needless to say I did not have one.

I just got my first smartphone, BB Storm 2weeks ago and im 20. And i actually do use it for college,work and the like ,it becomes very useful.
I didnt realize coming out of Elementary School was so advanced.03-17-09 11:49 PMLike 0 - Also if you don't have the data plan you better make sure you disable any possibility that your bb would use OTA data. If you leave your wifi area and forget to turn off I'm or send an email and it doesn't send right away you'll get charged.
Having a BB without the data package seems like a waste of money. A while back BB was THE smart phone so its always been designed to have data access. If you want a mobile that also plays mp3s then you should buy something else. If you want one that also plays games you want something else. If you want email and web access then you want a BB, it can do everything but its main purpose is Email+Web+Phone. If you aren't looking for that then you should find something different.

I looked at one for my wife, but she's not all into the Internet, using apps, etc, so she's getting the Pantech Matrix. $59 and doesn't require a data plan for the discounted price. We've been with AT&T for 15 years and I don't really see us changing so I have no problem with the 2 year commitment.03-18-09 06:50 AMLike 0 - If you don't have the Vcast package with the 5 dollar mobile email, you'll be charged 1.99 per mb usage.03-18-09 07:06 AMLike 0

And honey you don't know me and you don't what I had the luxury of having when I was a kid so I suggest you high tail it out of here and hush your little mouth.03-18-09 07:52 AMLike 0

Cause you know, no one, including adults, make gramatical errors. You don't know him, nor what he has, so why are you judging him when you just told me not to judge you? Hmmmm

Well I was just again stating I hope he doesn't email like that, big deal. I was judging him by saying that and giving my opinion that I think people under 18 really have no big reason for having a BB? And, defensive yes because you don't know me and I don't know him, but I was stating my opinion and you came off rude with your opinion.
It's too early in the morning to be e-fighting about 14 yr olds and bbs.
We all love our bbs and have our opinions, oh well.03-18-09 08:05 AMLike 0 -

Anyways good morning to you too.03-18-09 08:19 AMLike 0 - It's just a different generation. Personally I don't even think most college students NEED BB, it's definitely a luxury. But some families are just lucky to be able to afford luxury goods, even for their kids. I had kids in my high school that drove BMW 745s. What HS kid needs to drive a $100K+ car? As much as I don't see why they'd need to drive that car, I wouldn't complain if I could drive that car as my daily driver.
Anyways good morning to you too.
Lol I wouldn't call it a good morning..its yucky outside.03-18-09 08:26 AMLike 0 - I think its pointless for a 14 year old to get a BB without a data plan. Especially a Bold. Thats what makes the blackberry so useful...that data. E-mail, interenet, MMS and the like make blackberry what it is.
Might as well just get a regular phone. There's a reason why most carriers require people to get a data plan with smartphones
Also what it comes down to is that the kid is comming to US for oppinions, so obviously we are going to say what we think. If the kid doesn't want oppinions, then they shouldn't have asked.03-18-09 08:27 AMLike 0 - I think its pointless for a 14 year old to get a BB without a data plan. Especially a Bold.
