got one! not used the blackberry messenger thing though!

downloaded blackberry apps world today, only had the thing 6 months lol...some decent apps on there.

[Ste M]

which one did you get dean? i got the 8520 yesterday, top piece of kit, one of the reasons i got it was because i want to run either george or wcpro on it so i will be interested to hear if someone already does this

I've got one... Curve 8900... I'm into my 4th year as a BB user and will never change. I've had a Pearl, 8310 curve and now an 8900 curve

www.crackberry.com very useful site

My wife and I both have BB's.. Got them to save on txt's as we send A LOT !

Best browser I've found is Bolt (google 'bolt browser')

Nav4all is a free sat nav - its not brilliant, but good if your stuck.


I think you can use george with sheet to go, but check with Paul first.

Dean... I'll add you now

i believe that you cant run goerge on the blackberry but wcp you can,

[LWC]

Is that right that you can run WCP on blackberry?

[Neil]

I looked into this recently and was told George will only run on any device using the "old" Palm operating software.
WCP will only work on any device using Windows OS.
in other words both fairly limiited, Neither Blackberry, i Phone or Andriod are supported.
I have just upgraded to a Blackberry Bold (love it).

i was looking for a blackberry until i seen the iphone, iphone seems more fun anyone have one of them?

[Dean Taberner]

ive got the bb curve on orange,

the only prob i had with it was the signal in my house,

today ive found that you can connect to the wifi and get a UMA signal and make 100% signal calls through that,

has anyone heard of UMA?

dean

[LWC]

Dean, i have no reception at my house, well a little to none in window. With this UMA you mention, would it work?

[Dean Taberner]

What network are you with mate?

Im with orange and the UMA takes the signal to full strength.

Dean

[LWC]

Im with orange mate, is there an extra service charge because this sound brilliant, i hate not having signal at home.

[Dean Taberner]

No mate it just works the same as your tariff.

You need to get the wep key from your wifi router and connect your handset to your wifi.

UMA kicks in then.

had one for over a year now, still my favorite toy, an app for just about everything. can even use it to tune my guitar, and when I get round to learning to play that will be handy
