13. A curve?
8300 series. Set one up for a user last Friday. Not bad if you need it.

3. Crackberries rock!
I've gone through the whole progression of them, and the name is definitely true, if my blackberry service goes down I get all stressed out.


(and yes, I'm new here, this is my first post)

4. Welcome to DU!
:hi:

I never would've thought that this thing would be so addicting, but it is. I'm finding myself wanting to bang out e-mails on that keyboard rather than on my computer...just...because...I...can. God help me. :rofl:

:toast:

5. Abandon all hope!
And carry an extra battery, having it die on you becomes a harrowing experience. Have you checked if DU is useable on it? I've been a lurker here for a long time, but never from my crackberry.

8. I actually don't have the internet on mine.
I just have the e-mail push, but no data plan or wi-fi. I actually wanted it that way - do you have any idea how much more time I'd waste if I had the internet with me wherever I went? Omigod.

17. Indeed I can!
In fact, I can answer an e-mail, smoke a cigarette, drink a cup of coffee, and pilot a two-ton death-mobile at breakneck speeds through a residential area all at the same time! Now I can get my work, nicotine / caffeine fix, and felonious vehicular manslaughter needs met all on the way to my bookies! Thank you, Crackberry!

11. I'm a new user too
My new job wanted me to have one.

Is it just work email, or have you put your personal email on there too? Think twice if you get a lot of junk email at your personal account - I HATE when it buzzes and I stop to pull it out and check it, and it's just an email from Sephora or something.

18. I've got it set up for personal e-mail.
I don't get a lot of junk e-mails - Gmail does a pretty good job at filtering that crap out. :hi:

12. UMA: Did you set it up to work with your home wireless router?
If your service gives Bb hot spots you can make unlimited phone calls for free. Browsing the internets is also very fast.

19. Uh, I believe the question is...
Did I set it up to work with my neighbor's home wireless router :rofl:

And this particular phone doesn't have that feature. It would be nice, though...

15. I just got one, too
The curve in a very sexy red. I'm still trying to get the e-mail thingy going.

Got a Jawbone headset for handsfree use.

16. If you need help with email
Let me know, I've had one for about a year, mostly because all the bigwigs at my company have them, and being the IT guy, I need to know how they work and stuff.

20. WOW......A novel approach.
Me I just wing it, google it, as much as possible when one of the users has a question on a Blackberry finction. Which is rare enough unless they switch devices.
