I've set up a 9930 on hosted BES with several additional IMAP accounts. Struggling with lack of full sync on gmail (compared to iPhone), but I can live with it.

Can someone tell me if the IMAP accounts are run using the BIS? If so, is the security/encryption routed through the NOC as with my BES account? My understanding is that while the BES account is the most secure, the BIS (IMAP??) accounts are secure to a certain level.

Is this an improvement over the Active-sync I used on the iPhone? I'm hoping it is, because the trade off in IMAP sync efficiency would be worth the bump in email security.

Also, is all internet traffic (browsing, etc) originating on the BB handset handled by the BIS?

Or have I got it wrong?

So today i purchased a Bold 9000 cheap running os5 did the hybrid OS5(7.2) on it asap to make it run as fast as possible. Always wanted one!
So liquid graphics makes a huge difference never realized this and the extra memory helps so much. The browser is super slow even on wifi its slower than my OS7 torch on 3g. Good job RIM on the OS7 Browser.
I felt slow using this old OS5 and with only 4 apps installed my device was asking me to delete one to make space.
People say there's not much difference, but actually there's a huge diffence.
I seen a lot of people switching from the old OS5 even OS6 devices to iphones/Androids. If they would only give OS7 a chance for a few days they would fall in love. With that said as much as i love the look of the old Bold 9000 i cannot deal with the slow OS and super low memory. Already back to my 9810. Now really considering a 9900

So a few days ago I bought a cellphone off of this guy on the internet. Turns out it was stollen. So I took the chance and bought a cell phone again off the internet (kijiji) This time I made sure to get the IME # from the seller first. Turns out the phone is not stollen.
I ended up getting the bb bold 9700. And I absoulty love it.

To be honest at first I was kinda disapointed with it. It seemed kinda glitchy and not to good. Then I did the OS 6 update and WOOOW!!! What a difference. It was like a whole new phone. I am so impressed with this phone. The phone quality is just amazing 10/10. It was better than talking on the house phone.

BBM...... is just amazing now. So cool and so many options it is great. It so nice comunicating on BBM. Just makes texting that much more fun. You can play games on there with other BBM users. 10/10

The trackpad.... I just fell in love with that right away. See, I have big fingers and with the touch screen on my Android it was so hard clicking on certain things. I would always be clicking the wrong thing. Its so frustrating. With this its like using a mouse accept better. And now my screen is not always gross looking from my fingers. I love this feature. Have not found anything I hate about it. 10/10

BB maps..... This i must admit I dont like to much. Its got really cool features. Its really accurate. I just dont like the look of it. I do like how it shows how fast I am going and it was dead on. It hard to zoom in and frustrating. Maybe I just need to get used of it a bit more and learn all of the options. But for now I give it 5/10

BB bridge.... I really like this. I love how u can look at your email and type emails on your pb. I like how u can BBM on your PB. Really cool on a bigger screen. I dont like how i cant send pics from my pb to my phone though. or music. Kinda sucks. Maybe i just dont know how too????? I give this 8/10 cuz it can use a few more features.

BB Playbook..... I love everything about this device. Although it can use more apps. That is the only problem. other than that great picture quality. Amazing graphics. Apps to Go is awesome... can make a resume or what ever i want. Games are really fun and cool to play. I like how u can hook it up to big screen tv and watch videos from the internet. Also nice for watching movies and listening to music. .. 10/10

I ended up buying my gf the Curve 9300, she just fell in love with it after I did the OS6 update for it. I am gonna get her the new Bold 9900 or the torch 9810.

I dont know how BB has a bad name right now. I have barely any complaints about there products. I have owned Androids....iPhones...and in MY OPINION I find BB to be the best. They are so addicting. Anyways sorry for the long message but I thought I would give my opinion about BB devices I own. Thanks for reading.

I know, everyone has their two cents about RIM’s current situation, highlighting where they’ve failed, where they’ve succeeded and where they’re headed. Today I join the group... sort of.

I’ve had a BlackBerry attached to my hip for over 5 years now, in those years they’ve seen me go through my daily routine, I’ve thrown them in anger, slept with them under my pillow, and some of the most important messages I’ve ever received have come through my BlackBerry. It will go off, take focus and stop me mid-conversation with someone. I lay in bed at night replying to emails and I’ll wake up in the morning to read all the flyers that came in at 3am. This thing is an integral part of my work and personal life and it always will be. Here’s where I think a few things have gone astray in the past few years.

The BlackBerry I know is a best-in-class communications device. Its emails received on my hip in about 3 seconds and replied to in under a minute. It’s BBM/PIN messaging with family or colleagues out in the field. It’s battery life that blows every other device out of the water. Do we all remember the 7200 series? I’m convinced that thing is sitting in my desk drawer with at least 20% battery left.

I’m carefully writing this, but the mistake, if you will, that RIM made was taking these business class devices and putting them on the same consumer level as Apple and Android devices. I can basically pin-point it to when the first Curves hit the shelf, that’s when RIM decided it was going to enter the consumer market and suddenly every Timmy, Sue, and Billy had one in high-school.

Every time I hear the comparison that iPhone or Android beats BlackBerry, I cringe. They aren’t the same devices. It’s like having two oranges and a banana, and stating that the banana will never be like these oranges. That’s right: it’s a banana, it’s not supposto be an orange!

So I think that RIM should have maybe lessened their entry into the consumer market and focused on the business users, but you know what? They’re working on it and I have faith. It’s hard to go from one business idea that you’re so used to and merging that into an existing market. I get that.

BlackBerry is my workhorse, as an Engineer with Rogers in Canada I need it for work most, but it’s nice that it plays music, has Facebook, a web browser, a camera and can do things like play YouTube videos, but to me it will always be the best messaging device, ever. When I want to sit back and play games, I’ll pull out my PlayBook.

I’m proud to say I’ve owned every BlackBerry from the 7250 to the 9900 I have now, and I’m sure I’ll be one of the first in line for the next one, and the next one, and the next one.

I'm due an upgrade from my Bold 9700.

I really like the idea of an iPhone but I love the BBM application too much and it's really the only thing keeping me with BB (I would go for a Torch 9800).

Does anyone know of a way to keep BBM whether it be on the iPhone or by paying for a cheap BBM only package or something similar?

Any advice would be great.

Thanks,

Answer:

SOME! depending on your carrier have been able to Keep BBM on a wifi only device while using a NON BBM phone as their primary phone.

I know one Rogers user who had a Windows Mobile phone purchased off contract, and used their BB Data Plan, they got all the access they needed with the WinMo phone, AND their Wifi enabled BlackBerry could still BBM.

that is the only option you MAY have but it MAY not work

I am about to do a trade for a blackberry bold 9900 but i have a few questions. My iphone 4 16GB and the persons Blackberry Bold 9900 are in like new condition with all original accessories in box. my questions/concerns are.

1. Is this a fair trade? especially considering he wants extra cash on top of the trade? (seems to me both the iphone 4 and blackberry bold go for the same price on ebay)

2. I think it is from T-Mobile which is not my carrier so will this give me issues if i want 4g connectivity?

3. given the fact that im going to be buying someone elses phone is this going to make it differcult/impossible for me to use since it is registered to them?

I called AT&T to get my Blackberry phone unlocked and the rep told me that along with the iPhone they don't have unlock codes for the Blackberry Bold. Is this true? Anyone here that has gotten their Bold unlocked through AT&T? Please verify.

Answer:

I had no problem getting one recently. Basic plan, new customer, only had the phone for about a month at the time. You just got someone lazy or not-fully-trained.

If that does not work you can get your unlock code from www.unlockmybberry.com
