Again, sorry to hijack but where you guys have these fancy things - they sell them here too, don't get me wrong, but how well do they work? I mean, I can barely go a day without a dropped call, poor reception and even voicemails that don't even ring in the first place. I live in what is supposed to be a digital area but it is not a 1X area like the major centres are. In fact on the site where I'm working the cell can go from 4 bars to 1 just by turning 90 degrees.
The City of Renton, Wa's main central shop, and King County DOT's main central shop are on the hill in the Renton Highlands, next to Renton Technical College and the Greenwood Cemetary--home of Jimi Hendrix....and it's a huge dead zone for cell service. Welcome to the northwest....

whats the point of having one and not texting...yeah the touch screen one verizon has is known for freezing up but i thought they got that fixed up...im going with a nextel one, i have verizon now but they want like 30 a month more then nextel for there blackberry service
I just dumped my NEXT-HELL after 16+ years of service. Actually, I had it for about 13 years, got totally fed up with the **** poor performance of Nextel, and switched to a Sprint Hybrid. It allowed me to have the Sprint network AND the Nextel PTT which I needed for the PD work.
A month or so back, I decided to crawl out of my tarpit and get a crackberry.
Got the Net-Hell 83somefreakingthing or another. It started screwing up right off the sales floor. It wasn't the phone, it was the NEXTHELL network.
Dropped calls, bad tx and rx, no v-mail notification, lost emails, ...yada yada yada....
Finally, I dumped the Nextel service (no longer required-using sat phones and marine bands for what we need) and went back to Sprint.
Although they "claim" that it's "Sprint, together with Nextel" don't believe it!
They utilize two totally separate networks, towers, etc., and even the customer service, tech support and billing are separate.
Nextel service sucks nuts! If you're going nextel/sprint, unless you absolutely need the PTT, go SPRINT. Coverage areas are much better and stronger.
As for the berry, I had a few issues with the phone but they seemed to get resolved with a couple of tech visits and so far, I'm happy.
I too purchased the Otterbox. Great cover and I'm tough as hell on phones.
Someone here said something along the lines of phones are for talking. A good strong laptop and an aircard along with a dig cam will take care of the rest...they are absolutely correct
Not really sure what the hell I'm doing with a berry anyway....
I use my berry only when I can't have my laptop handy.
