Title: bloody blackberrys
Post by: tunnie on 11 June 2008, 22:22:34
was at TheBoys earlier, lost signal in his house, did it pick it up on the way back? did it 'dangle berries'.

It usually gets signal in my house, but refused to connect to the network.

Had to take the battery out to force a hard reboot.

Bloody useless peice of crap.  >:(

Now you know why I rarely give out my mobile number - its pointless!  There is this little cloud over my house that blocks all networks but o2. Full signal in road out front, good signal on rear garden wall. Bugger all in between...

Mines for work but I don't get a signel in the house, so I use the iPod and piggy back of the Mc'D's WiFi down the road to get on to the company exchange server,

Not a fan of Blackberrys.

I use Windows phones generally - if you get a touchscreen one, web browsing easy.  Fantastic if you want to sync with Exchange as well.

Next choice would probably be iPhone, though the current model isn't really developed enough.  New software due soon on it, plus the 3G version due next month. Let down by awful battery life. And Apple was recently voted the most Gay Friendly brand, so not sure what that says about owners....

Youknow you might be right. I just fitted some of that new insulation stuff, Kingspan, in a loft and its lined with aluminium foil both sides. That will provide a Faraday shield which will stop/cut down electric fields, and prob attenuate radio waves quite a bit. Thank the new building regs, which were put forward by................

never had an issue with my N95 and will be sticking with it until the N96 is out later this year.
Sat Nav works well (only downside is that you have to pay for it when used if you want voice guidance but the amount i use it its not worth buying a sat nav)

i have used windows mobile devices since they first appeard on the market, i have always found them to be a bit flakey, constantly needing reboots and crashing/locking up.
Last one i had was the Tytn11, completely useless.......was not able to handle runnig satnav and dealing with a bluetooth call at the same time, the thing would crash and dump the call, since then i have not touched windows stuff.

I have the 8800 blackberry, i have a corporate one from work and a personal one, the settings are slightly different, i thkn they are great, they are reliable, they don't crash, yes there is only a limited amount of software in comparason to a windows device but i can live with that.

I might look at the iphone 3g once it comes oput, but it would have to be bloody good

I have the 8310 Blackberry on O2 courtesy of work and I have to say it has been superb so far.

Internet browsing is not up to much to be honest but I use it as a phone and to monitor my emails, and that it does very well.
