I have a BB storm 2 and Im thinking about getting an android phone.Right now I have the cheapest postpaid package which is $99 for the internet service. The cheapest package for android on the bmobile site is $369 which is almost double what I pay currently. Does bmobile offer anything with similar rates to the Blackberry package for android?

[Swisha]

u can use that same sim in ur Android phone and still get edge data from ur $99 blackberry plan...

[metalgear2095]

u can use that same sim in ur Android phone and still get edge data from ur $99 blackberry plan...

thank you. no difference in cost? I just saw unlimited data is $150 on bmobile.

[Swisha]

yeah i have the $150 unlimited plan.

but according to some ppl, u can still use the $99 bb plan and still get "unlimited" since bmobile has no way of tracking usage.

havent tested that myself though...

[S_2NR]

I pay 69$ a month for "unlumited" internet on the BB social plan. Just downgrade ur package and yu ornn.

[Cid]

I runnin unlimited for about $60 a few months now..... Ah powerseller hook meh up with ah work around to beat de system in tstt......

[S_2NR]

^^ how could u pay $60 / month if theres no 60$ package?
dont u mean 69$

[CocaineMachine]

having a problem with my milestone. the market app not letting me browse, kepp getting 'The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again'. then i click force close. i googled a whole bunch of stuff. even downloaded a downgrade to it, still nothing, deleted and reboot, nothing works. anyone have any ideas of what could be the prob. and know how to fix??

[S_2NR]

most likely the firmware ur using is causing that^

[CocaineMachine]

and how do i fix that??

[S_2NR]

Update/change ur firmware.
Check XDA. I have no experience with the moto droid.

[Swisha]

are u using the new or old market? if it's the old one i suggest u clear the cache and data for the market app and then uninstall it.

dwl the new market apk (3.1.5 i believe is the latest) and install manually...

[CocaineMachine]

I have the new one 3.1.5 i installed the old one tried using it and got the same error so i uninstalled, like i said b4 nothing works

Google+ App Updated To 2.1 With Ice Cream Sandwich Styling, Major Enhancements And Bug Fixes

The Google+ app team just dropped a surprisingly massive update onto the Market, and it brings changes galore. In fact, there's so many changes that they've called it a "completely new app." Take a look:





The UI has taken a turn towards the styling we've seen in Ice Cream Sandwich, and menus have been reworked to resemble the next version of Android as well. Here's the changelog from the Market:

What's in this version:

- Completely new app and new visual design
- Battery life improvements
- Navigation and performance improvements
- Significant notifications improvements
- Brand new posting UI
- Several bug fixes
- Support for Google Apps users
- Ability to sign out
- Add people to a circle from circle profiles

"Significant notification improvements" seems to have entailed the end of the annoying pull-up notification bar, in favor of a counter at the top right of the app which more closely resembles the notification counter on desktop browsers. The settings menu now is organized in a more ICS-like fashion, with most of the options integrated into a single menu level. The posting UI has been totally overhauled, and the whole app generally just feels smoother.

New Android Market Version 3.3.11 Now Available For Download



A new version of the Android Market numbered 3.3.11 is now being pushed out to select handsets. For the impatient, our friends over at Android Police have pulled the APK and have made it available for download. They have stated there seems to be a few glitches and minor kinks after installing it on Honeycomb devices, so for those wanting to throw it onto a Motorola XOOM or Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, maybe you should hold off.
In the update there are a few minor UI changes along with a new app drawer icon. You will also find a new star rating in each app page along with a new “Update over Wi-Fi only” setting which has been desperately needed for some time. Feel free to download and install right over your old Market. Some users may encounter a signature error, but for you rooted users, you can use Root Explorer to replace the two APKs. Enjoy.
