Well, as I stated in my Intro thread, I've picked up a 7290 for the AT&T network. My question is does the fact that it's an older model prohibit me from doing things online that the newer ones? I am going to use it for: GMail, AIM, chat forums and automotive Web sites. It's got Version 4.02 software.
I guess what I'm asking is what are my limitations with this device? If I could go on YouTube, that would be cool, but not necessary.
Turning up with a Blackberry 7290 and expecting it to stands it's own compared to the newer versions is a little like turning up for a polo match riding a dusty donkey. From a hardware/features perspective, the jump from the Blackberry 7290 to the next Blackberry, the 8700 was huge.
I used to have a BB7290, it's quad-band, and was the first Blackberry to offer Bluetooth support. The 7290 only has 32MB of internal memory, and of course no support for memory cards.
JiveTalk™ is a multi-client instant messaging application for your mobile phone. It supports simultaneous connections to AIM�, MSN�, Yahoo!�, GoogleTalk�, ICQ�, Jabber, and MySpace IM.
If this works on your 7290, think about purchasing it. You would have already added significant functionality over mere email and slow web browsing
Yeah, I know it's a stretch, but I don't need things like GPS, a camera, music/video, etc. I would just like to know if I can get my emails and chat without any problems. That's why I asked.
Sure, and pointing your Blackberry browser to http://www.crackberry.com/crackberry.jad to download and enable wap access to Crackberry.com will certainly make accessing and posting to Crackberry quicker and more pleasurable.
