In the future, the proper forum for this is the General section. Some mod will see this sooner or later and move it there.


Let's keep the flames off until then :D

Why not install the Blackberry software on your Tilt and let your boss pay for the Blackberry service?

[KD8DNS]

he has this stupid i.t. guy and the jackass says it must be a blackberry device, i already brought up the software idea!

So tell your boss to buy you a Blackberry device since you already have a better solution and his retarded it guy doesn't know what he's talking about.

I second that.

To be honest my friend, I had a Blackberry before coming to Tilt...among a million other phones. I had the Curve. You cant get AIM to work, the apps are trash, browser is worse than PIE before scroll fix, the maps didn't work right and sooo much more. You cant record movies, the pics are 2mp, and soo much more.

Thats my 2¢...but if your boss forces you...i suppose you could go with a pearl...its not as crappy as the curve.

[KD8DNS]

ok so does anybody know who has one for sale really cheap

My problem is similar to KD8DNS.

I am about to be given a blackberry to access our company Lotus Notes mail on a Domino server. Our IT department insists that we are bound to use a blackberry device and not the connect software.

Can anyone tell me that if I install the software myself on my TyTn would my IT department be able to know of this?

If you connect to corporate bb server, your IT have to grant access each time you connect a device to the server (whatever real bb device or wm device with bbconnect you use).

Same each time you reinstall the bb client (change rom, hard reset.....)

I had myself to convince them, and finally they accepted, to connect me thru bbconnect. Had given a try to bb device for a couple of months, but impossible to get used to it.

My agency is the same. We are in the market for some type of PDA phone. I've been trying to convince them to go with a Win Mobile device, like the Tilt. They are in love with Blackberry.

I finally got an answer just yesterday as to why. They claim the Win Mobile devices battery usage is inferior to Blackberry devices (Win Mobile eats batteries). As I've never owned a Blackberry, I don't know if this is true...

I know my Tilt can use up a full charge quickly. My BlackJack II seems to do alright, although it doesn't even come close to all the features of the Tilt.

I don't know how to argue against the Blackberry... :(

you see im a volunteer firefighter, and i had a call to a structure fire, all went well, we put the fire out and so on. well i had my breathing apparatus on and my blackberry in my pocket. for those that dont know, a scba (secondary contained breathing apparatus) is a air tank that you wear like a packback, when i took the scba off the corner of the scba slammed my leg, just so happened that the blackberry was right there, so it cracked the screen shattered the lcd and now im in deep crap with my boss, and not one to be spreading my problems to everyone else, i just had a new baby and really cant afford the full, almost 500.00 that att wants to just walk out with one with no contract, so i figured id post this thread in hopes that someone has a ATT curve that they dont need. Im NOT asking for a freebe just a good price. Im just really glad this didnt happen to my TILT i think i would have gone into a deep state of depression. Thanks guys/gals you all here have been very good people to me.

I've gotten several curves off the att site as refurbs as low as 29... have to watch for them. also, enter your business email and you may qualify for premier and get more discounts.

[joebongo]

Sorry to hear about the BB. Won't your boss have them all insured anyway?

And how about Ebay for a cheapie?
