Blackberry's - Carpediem - 13-12-2018
More specifically the Torch 9800
anybody had any experience?
Ive decided i cant be bothered with a fan-dangled iphone or android phone that gunna cost me £40+ a month for a whole array of features that i dont particularly care about
My main usage of a phone is
Text
Web surfing
Sat nav
youtube
ebay
looking at the Torch its £35 a month on 3, 500 mins, 5000 texts and 1gb data
whats their app store like? new OS6 seems shiney, screen res aint brilliant probably on a par with my iphone 3g which does me fine atm
all ideas welcome
upgrade time end of march!!

Personally if you want a touch screen and are interested in apps, stick with the iPhone or android - android will definitely not cost you much, the desire should only be around £25 a month now.
But I have friends who swear by their blackberry's, so they're definitely good phones.

wildfire is as little as £15.32 a month, altho it depends what u need (need being important) from the tariff

I shall add that i'm a blackberry fan but prefer phones that aren't dead big, have a Bold BB but the browser on OS5 is a let down, but I do definitely want to go down the android route too if its good for email
Blackberry's - Carpediem - 13-12-2018
Hmmm i use about 200 mimutes 1500 texts and surf net all the time
apps wise its the usual facebook/sickipedia/sat nav/ ebay
the bold seems to come out on top for cheap price coupled with decent looks

bold 9700 is OS5 but will be upgradable to OS6 in the future, but as I said the browser sin't great, I don't know how much that is improved on the new OS, the 9780 has OS6 and a 5mp camera

Hmmm may go play with one
out of all the phones i could have though this seems to of caught my eye the most
iphone 4 is to expensive and the 5 version will come later in the year
none of the android phones really make me go wow and the microsoft platform just seems to of faded after all the hypd
which leaves me with the blackberry angle or a painful wait for an iphone 5 which may be a big disappointed

I've just got myself a HTC Mozart 7 (Windows Phone) on Orange for £33 a month. Comes with 1400 mins (special Jan offer doubled up from 700 mins), 500MB data allowance and unlimited texts.
Very good piece of kit- perfect phone for: Email, Text, Web surfing, Sat nav, Youtube, Ebay and facebook...

I don't think WP7 has faded away, they're phones, what do you expect to happen? :tongue_smilie:
And I'd be very surprised if there's an iPhone 5 later this year given how long it was before iPhone 4 came out........

Alot of sources stateside including the ones with insider info say an iphone 5 is due in the second quarter as the iphone 4 was rushed, its essentially going to be an upgraded iphone 4
looking at all the reviews torch v iphone, torch v android it only looses out on screen res and HD video recording
everything else it either draws or wins
just been looking at the blackberry app market and i can get everything i already have for free
seems to be winning thus far
