Blackberry ahoy

I enjoyed my time with the Curve last year but it was a bit lacking in certain respects for me, mostly application wise with no version of ListPro available. I also didn't like the way it handled IMAP mail accounts, or rather didn't handle IMAP...where are the Folders? Push email sounds great but if I am being honest with myself, I don't actually need it.

I see my chum Sheldon is still using his RIM smartphone though and he seems to be enjoying it. Possibly, out of all the platforms tried so far RIM is the one I'm least likely to go back to again yet it is probably the most stable and simple to use. I just didn't get on with the limited choice, at the time, of third party app support. Things may have improved since I don't know. The Curve I used had a great keyboard, possibly better than the de facto standard treo one but for some reason there was no dedicated full stop, something that grew to really annoy me.

What about this forthcoming clamshell Blackberry though? Looks rather tasty. I've always pined for a clamshell treo design again as I liked the 270 I had years ago.

Yeah, I actually like the BB far better than the Treo, I have not reset once since getting it. There are a few things that I miss apps wise, but the stability trumps the longing. It really, really does. Besides, most of what I need can be done with online apps. Googles app suite works fantastically on the BB. Events and such that I enter on my computer show up on the BB seconds later and vise versa, so there really isn't the need to bogg done the phone with tons of apps. I like that.

Sorry I have'nt been in conact lately, haven't even been able to work much on MP in the past week, but you'll see why soon!

Hope all is good with you!
