So, a week back I bought a Blackberry to replace my Treo (lots of posts on it in this forum). I foolishly though that it would help me manage my email better, I have some mixed results.
OK, been using my blackberry for about a week now. Some folks have been asking me questions so I'll answer some of them.
So, now that Sprint's managed to provision my phone, I've been able to really play with my Blackberry for about a day. Here are my initial reactions.
OK Mystically, the service book just got pushed to the blackberry. It's up and running, don't know why. I'll call Sprint tomorrow to get them to refund my time without service.
Continuing on from yesterday's post about Friday's issues with Sprint (read http://seanreiser.com/node/71 for the details). I called Sprint at 3PM today, in defiance of "the threat" to determine why my data plan still wasn't working.
So, I mentioned that I have a new Blackberry. So far I've been unable to use it as anything other then a phone because Sprint has been unable to get the device they sold me provisioned. I hadn't had time to write it up until now, but it's been fun.
Just received my Sprint Blackberry 8830 from UPS; it's charging now. I'll be doing a short product review along with the reason I'm not buying an iPhone in the next couple of days.
In the mean time... can anyone recommend 3rd party applications for the BB that I might find interesting.
