BlackBerry Torch It is also worth noting that while the has a slot for a GSM sim card, it is designed for international roaming and will not work with North American carriers' sim cards.
Later world phone models like the BlackBerry Storm series do indeed allow the use of North American sim cards.
The was the first BlackBerry world phone and was designed specifically to disallow use on anything but international GSM networks. No unlocking procedure will enable this function. Here are some of the pros and cons as I see them. My needs for a communication device may not be your needs. Therefor my ida of pros and cons may be different from yours. I have no interest in playing Angry Birds on my phone, and I don't tweet.
I'm old school, and so is the BlackBerry Pros: Keyboard Reliability No camera - security often dictates no cameras allowed. Cons: It's a legacy device - no development for new apps No camera - Yeah, I show this as a Pro as well. Depends on your perspective and needs.
The BlackBerry is fabulous for this. What it is not is a gaming and entertainment platform. Brick Breaker is about the most fun you're going to have with it, and that's pretty weak.
Mine keeps me connected when out of the office, and does it well. I don't ask it to do more than that, which is good because it really can't. Never was supposed to either. Read full review. I felt I needed a durable phone with my job but couldn't keep up with things technologically. I picked up a refurb bb on ebay, and it does probably more than i need it to do, including play mp3, check email fast I could go on and on. Texting is a little of an adjustment as I have big fingers, and was used to using the T9 where it completes your words.
Cannot do this on this one but I havent been able to put it down since I bought it. For a starter phone into the world of blackberry to learn on you cannot beat the price, which is why I bought it in the first place. I figured if I hated it, I was not out a ton of money, and after three days I am quite attached to it. Takes a little playing with to get used to but like I said, you cannot put it down once you get to messing with it.
I als o found silicone covers for the newer BB on ebay for a little bit of nothing. Planning on upgrading to a newer BB w silicone cover, at least as durable as my old Motorola mil spec phone with triple the fun. Also a lot of the BB are world phones. Being in the guard if i deploy, I can text msg home with it from most places, call and email too but the calling and email is terribly expensive.
I think a txt msg runs 55 cents per msg. The ringer and alarm volume on the BB is a little quieter than i would like but it wakes me up although 7 min late this morning, but the alarm kept going the whole time.
Havent really found any real gripes with this other than I havent got a silicone skin for it, but since I am planning on upgrading, dont want to wrap a ton up in accesories that wont switch over. MP3 accesory kits will work for chargers for this, I plugged my mp3 cord into this and right into the computer and did a bunch of stuff the first night I had it, the mp3 cord goes right into the mp3 wall charger too.
Bluetooth works on car stereo as it should. I bought because it was a cheap smartphone. For the most part, it does what I ask: it goes online, it has email somewhere , and it calls and texts. This allows you to get voice coverage in countries 22 of those on CDMA and e-mail coverage in 62 countries.
The device is also EV-DO -capable, so you'll be able to enjoy faster data transfer speeds. The does shed the all-black casing for a sleek silver one, and includes a media player, a speakerphone, voice-activated dialing, conference calling, 64MB internal memory, and a microSD expansion slot. The also has integrated Bluetooth with dial-up networking capabilities tethered or wireless and a rated talk time battery life of 3.
The only thing on our wish list would be a camera.
