Michelle Posted May 23, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 wish i would've seen this yesterday. orederd the Crackberry Storm 2 because it was free. I'm a virgin blackberry user - the HTV would've been an extra $100 so I'm hoping for the same apps on the crack soon? I think it just means there is a new crackberry coming soon - it's usually the only reason they give away stuff for free. should be a descent phone...I'll post info after Tues :) Next: "posted from my crackberry" after degree granted from blackberry international Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nekdut Posted May 23, 2010 Report Share Posted May 23, 2010 You and Fin should enable the WAP-enabled/BB-specific vBulletin mods if possible ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skatha Posted May 26, 2010 Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 How is it? Need to learn how to turn off the autocomplete yet? What about the spellcheck? Got separate tones for your email accounts and txt messages? Need to set up an email account? I'm here for you.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted May 26, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 26, 2010 I just got it about 15 minutes ago! I figured out how to turn it on and that's as far as I've gotten :) But yes, I will need you very soon! I don't want autocomplete and separate tones YES! I'm excited to play and learn.

kipstar Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I vote for a blackberry. Very good email system, intuitive operating system and it's so simple to set stuff up. However, the storm is not the one to go for IMHO; get the curve or the bold; the full size keyboard, just works, that's why I don't like most of the phones out there because I type a lot and use the BB as a psuedo computer for my emails; a touch screen like the iphone or similar is just slow for the typing for me anyhow and doens't work as well on the emails, but that might be different these days. BB messenger really helps for the worldwide stuff; I have friends all over the world and it is great to tlak to them for free. We use in meetings as well.

Michelle Posted June 25, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 decided to keep the BB Storm and am learning a little bit about it. Kieran, how does the messaging work? Does the other person also have to have a BB or Verizon? The keyboard is a little annoying and is taking me a while to get used to it, but both phones I was looking at had a virtual keyboard so I suppose I wouldhave this problem no matter what. I do like getting my emails on the phone, that is more helpful than I thought. Skatha, maybe we need an email or phone session to help me with some of the features that I probably don't even know I have Can you enlighten me? Thanks for everyone's help! I'm on my way to the new millenium in phones HA HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skatha Posted June 25, 2010 Report Share Posted June 25, 2010 I usually just text message. I email, too, but I haven't gone thru and added everyone's email to their contact info I looked at the BB Messenger system and it looks to be email based I hope you've got your FB account set up. I also added some sites to my bookmarks. Like the webcams at WP! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted June 26, 2010 Report Share Posted June 26, 2010 I'm a fan of crackberry. Been ongoing for maybe 3 years, give or take. It's always been sprint, so I try to get the phone with CDMA/GSM capacity. I got a preference for the keyboard type as opposed to the screen-typing. welcome to crackberry world, michelle :) as for BBIM (the blackberry instant messaging), it only works between all blackberry users.

Michelle Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 I usually just text message. I email, too, but I haven't gone thru and added everyone's email to their contact infoI looked at the BB Messenger system and it looks to be email based Verizon has backup assistant which at some point synced with my outlook, so I have emails to some people. But usually I text. I hope you've got your FB account set up. What would life be like without FB??? However, it doesnt' always update on my phone which is probably ok although I don't know why sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I also added some sites to my bookmarks. Like the webcams at WP!Is that an app, or a bookmark on your browser?Anyone else have helpful hints about BB that I may not know about? Shouldn't be hard since I know very little except what you see on this thread HA HA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted June 28, 2010 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2010 as for BBIM (the blackberry instant messaging), it only works between all blackberry users. I haven't tried this. Why is it different from texting? I have unlimited text so it shouldn't matter right? Or is it faster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeW Posted July 8, 2010 Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 I haven't tried this. Why is it different from texting? I have unlimited text so it shouldn't matter right? Or is it faster? Sorry, been away for quite some time with my girlfriend for a week! Anyhow, no it wouldn't matter. It's more of a preference, really. With BBIM, you will -know- if the person has read the message or not (it's indicated with D or R -- D=delievered and R=Read in past tense).

Michelle Posted July 8, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2010 so it doesn't matter if the person has verizon or not, just a BB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LeeW Posted July 9, 2010 Report Share Posted July 9, 2010 so it doesn't matter if the person has verizon or not, just a BB? Correct. Any BB regardless of who the carrier is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted July 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2010 Ok people. Now I have the Crackberry, and need some help! I am trying to download apps for my phone. I've done it from AppWorld and gone to the web site and tried to send it to my phone. It appears that it is working, but I can't figure out where it puts it! Where do I find the downloaded app? It's not on the home screen It's not in "downloads" It's not in "application center" It's not in "applications" WTH? Where are they? I've done 2 now because i thought the first one just didn't work, but seems I can't find either of them. frustrating Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
