    Default Blackberry 8330

    Dont know if this is the right section for this or not so if it isnt, mods please move it for me.

    I need a phone with email access and I can get a great deal on an 8330. Is there anything I need to know about this phone that will detract me? It will be through Verizon and I am not changing services so dont bother saying I should get the Iphone instead.

    Everything I have read on it says its a great phone with all the features I want and all of the reviews I have read have been good. Anyone got any input that I should know about?

    Save a little money, lose a lot of service. As it is, I am only paying $130 after taxes and fees for 2 phones, 2100 minutes, friends and family, unlimited texting, and the blackberry package.

    How would you lose service? Sprint and Verizon are the only CDMA carriers in GA, if you lose sprint you roam into verizon networks. Ive had sprint for several years now. I pay $99.99/mo for unlimted EVERYTHING

    Jimmy you wont be dissapointed by the phone. I've had mine for about 8 months now and have enjoyed every minute of it. I strongly reccomend upgrading the os once you get it. Theres plenty of other informative how to's to be found on various BB forums. If you have any questions or trouble just PM me.

    congrats homie. There really isnt an issue with the original OS except that sometimes it can get laggy. If you do the upgrade you will notice a significant increase in performance.

    Blackberry's are okay...I like my 8330 but it's pretty slow and spotty at some things.
    You're definitely going to need a memory card because these phones seem to cache up quick.
    I'd personally go with an iPhone especially since they're only $99 now.
    From a Network Administrator POV, they're much easier to set up if you're talking about email from work.. I'm not a fan of touch screens though.
    If not an Iphone then definitely a blackberry though.

    Played with it a bit on breaks today but I'm still lost. My first complaint, options are not all that user friendly. I looked for 10 minutes and still couldnt find ringtones.

    Best source for ring tones plus you can make your owns. Ringtones can be switched by going to profiles then hit advanced and then go through the options. it took me a minute to find them as well.
