And I Just Bought A Windows Device…

By Daniel Miessler on October 7th, 2006: Tagged as Blackberry | Gadgets

So there’s a new Blackberry coming out soon (Spring 2007) that looks to be pretty damn cool. The biggest thing I guess is the form factor, which is noticably thinner than previous models. It also still has the full keyboard — an absolute must — and it’s getting a camera this time as well.

What struck me as odd was that it supposedly only has EDGE. What about HSDPA? Tell me the thing supports the new network; I don’t see how it can’t.

Anyway, Spring next year I’ll be ready to consider another phone I guess, and maybe by then I can make another push for a BES server at work so I can have my corporate calendar and mail.

I know the feeling. I bought my razr v3c last Christmas, and the beginning of this summer they started touting the new v3m, which plays mp3s and has GPS navigation software. If I had just waited a few more months, I’d have gotten a cooler phone.

I seen the upcoming Blackberry, looks very nice indeed. I have a 7105t that I’ve had for a while, but I’ll probably look at “upgrading” to the new one, especially if it has a camera. Granted, my usage of the phone is about 95% business and 5% personal, but there are lots of times I’m out with friends and wish I had a camera with me.

By the way, RIM was running a “special” for a while on BES (not sure if they still are). If you bought a Blackberry, they’d give you a copy of the Express edition of BES along with one free CAL. That was the deciding factor for me, as I set up a new 2K3 server at work running just BES. If you’re not running BES, don’t bother with the Blackberry, period. There’s the other option where you run their desktop software to “redirect” mail to the Blackberry, but there is no synchronization between the BB software and your desktop software (presumably, Outlook).

SSD back in MBP. Happy again. RPMs only belong in cars.

@simonsarris Can't tell if you're agreeing with me or not.
Is Trojan really a good name for a condom company? The original was let in trustingly, released its dangerous payload, and chaos ensued.
