anything before the 9780... doesn't make sense installing OS6

[Chimera]

i have os6 on my 9700 , no probs

but i only use it for bbm/facebook/calls/msn.

got no apps or games or programs on it

[tr1ad]

yea well aba people with bb nowadays don't have the basic stuff on it...

apps / music etc plus we both know the processor speed aint the best

[Chimera]

fack bb yes, *hugs android & iphones*

[tr1ad]

when i left out bb for the 6months i kept telling you it best.. buh yuh bawl android is toots

bb marketshare keeps on dropping ....

i really don't think RIM has long again before ggoogle makes the push to buy them over

[S_2NR]

i dont have too much apps on my bb
i just have bebuzz, beweather, a cinema app with all the show times and an amazon app.
i just use it for calls, bbm, msn and emails.

[tr1ad]

yunno i remember 6 years ago when i had my first bb

only my manager, my ceo and myself were on bbm and to see a bb was a rare sight
actually we never even used bbm, was either regular means of communicating.... calls/emails

i left bb twice ... for roughly 6 months each... iPhone and then back to bb, then android

sigh... i miss android, but with my history and phones unless the casio commander is produced as a gsm phone i don't think i'll be back in a hurry to droid

i use beweather, gwabbit, ubinav, triniberry, twitter, battery watch, whatsapp, googletalk and twitter

BlackBerry App World surpasses 1 billion downloads

Discover a world of possibilities. Those are the words that have greeted you just before you start browsing through BlackBerry App World on your desktop. Though not as vast as the Android Market or the Apple App Store, BlackBerry App World is home to tens of thousands of applications. Looking for IM or Social Networking app? You can browse through hundreds of them. Are References and eBooks more your flavour? Over 10 thousand of them are there to look through. Within its doors are some amazing applications from amazing developers with even more amazing success stories. Bellshare GmbH, the developers of apps like BeWeather and SmartAlerts have seen over $1 million in sales. Jingu, an app used to upload emoticons, chat and create avatars, is nearing 1 million downloads in less than a month. As the Inside BlackBerry official blog states:

“BlackBerry App World is now in over 100 countries, seeing an average of 3 million downloads per day, and we recently crossed the 1 billion app download milestone!”

These numbers are a result of both smartphone and PlayBook application downloads. As recently reported, RIM has also started a Developer Stories series on their YouTube Channel, where developers are showcased and explain why they choose to develop BlackBerry apps. Perhaps this will attract more developers, more apps and, in turn, more download milestones.

I eh remember saying that

If there was a God and he had a phone, it would be an android.

[S_2NR]

you not understanding

unlocking involves software manipulation.... which is against terms and conditions on a bill of sale i.e. purchase

you are googling for an answer, yes you would get an answer, however it isn't applicable to the bill of sale terms and conditions in TRINIDAD

your crackberry link highlights what is the difference, unlocking means you can go anywhere and use another sim, carriers here in trinidad would be against such becasue then there is no profit from offering roaming

out of curiousity..how does entering an unlock code into a phone "manipulate software"? when u go into native menus on the phone to enter the code. No software necessary.

[tr1ad]

you override the software security of it being locked to a provider

therefore you change the software from being eg digicel to open ie any provider

look up the normal terms and conditions of electronics and have a read, maybe you will understand

[S_2NR]

i guess my 9780's warranty is void then..oh well

ABA..im occassionally getting a keyboard stutter or double tap when i press one letter. only happens sometimes. i understand the pcb membrane needs to be changed. u do this?

[Chimera]

on the 9780?

membrane rarely need changing, will just need servicing.


Tech does it for $100

[S_2NR]

yea the 9780..what does this servicing involve? is it something serious?

[Chimera]

Scrapping down the phone and cleaning it out. everything down to the board is cleaned out to remove sweat and dust.

[S_2NR]

$100 seems kinda steep for just that or am i missing something here

[Stephon.]

Comes down to how much you love your phone. 100 isn't steep.

[S_2NR]

thats why i asked whats involved to justify that price.
$100 isnt alot but you have to manage your money.

[Chimera]

up to you really, servicing is more work than anything else

changing a lcd or housing on a phone takes 5-10 minutes and I pay the techs $100 to do that.

servicing could take several hours.

[S_2NR]

ok cool.
btw the kid in ur pic..is that ur son?

[Stephon.]

super cool dog bro :p

[Ted_v2]
