Need a new phone soon. I am eligible for an upgrade, but these choices are killing me. i did a comparison and the iphone does not do video sharing. I don't need international. I hear they will release a 3G iphone some time next year. Is it worth waiting or does At&t offer somthing that does it all right now?

I honestly would say the blackjack Deuce is just as good as the Iphone. I mean it does not have the touch screen but as in features and getting work done on the go it does the job very well. With the 4 gig mini sd you can still carry around plenty of music with you and files for work as well. I personally do not need more than 4 gigs of songs on my trips to take care of those needs.

Not sure if you can order your upgrade online or not but I had a $50 dollar off code like last week that was still working.

If you figure out if you are able to upgrade online let me know and I will dig for the code.

i just got the blackberry pearl last week and i am loving it! great sounds quality, easy to navigate, perfect size, i like the picture quality and screen size/quality as well. i do wish it had a video camera on it though, but no big deal.

I would take the BJ Duece. Runs Windows Mobile 6.0 so I can tie it to my Exchange server.

I heard that the original bj was built better, but lacked the windows version 6. I saw a guy at the Jets game last night that had a bb that had a nice video recorder with good zoom, but I did not ask him what model it was. We were on the 45 yard line like 15 rows back from the Jets bench and this guy in front of me was able to zoom close to the players on the field. Anyone know which blackberry that could of been? i am also being told that a 3G version of the iphone should be coming out in the next 6 months, but if had to get a phone right now should it be a blackjack or a what's of with the curve that I just saw on tv?

The original BlackJack had Mobile 5.0. While 6 is more stable, 5.0 still offers good functionality. I like 5.0 on up because if I lose my phone or if it gets strolen, I can send it a "Remote wipe" function from my Exchange server and it will disable the phone along with deleting everything on it including contacts and pics. The only way to unlock it is via my server. This is especially nice for companies that hire and fire employees on a regular basis like the mortgage business.

sounds good . Thanks Kaiser:fo:d-smil

Hey Bro, Kaiser I don't know about the Black Jack. We have not had that much success with it. I special order the OEM unlocked version's for customers as needed. I would opt for the Treo or a Nokia N95 instead. Of course with Palm's OS on the Treo. Windows Mobile is just not stable at all...even 6.0. Actually, any windows mobile device is not stable and freezes, and there is alot of other problems that customers have been reporting. BTW, I own a Multi-Carrier Cellular Super Store in AZ. That's what I do for a living...lol Also I don't know if you have GSM service or CDMA. If you like really kewl Unlocked GSM phones check out this site....They have the latest greatest.....

Iphone processor is actually decent. Compare the iPhone (400Mhz*) with the Nokia n770 (233mhz) or the Nokia n800 (320Mhz).

But Apple shipped the iPhone with a vulnerable version of the libtiff library and didn't bother updating it for the 1.1.1 release. This libtiff exploit can be triggered through the iTunes Music Store by anyone who can MiTM the WiFi connection (or run a fake access point).

Number of hacking attack on mobile devices growing very fast.

On Iphone every process runs as root. MobileSafari, MobileMail, even the Calculator, all run with full root privileges. Any security flaw in any iPhone application can lead to a complete system compromise. A rootkit takes on a whole new meaning when the attacker has access to the camera, microphone, contact list, and phone hardware. Couple this with "always-on" internet access over EDGE and you have a perfect spying device.

Hacked Iphone -- what a great gift it can be.

There is nothing wrong with what you wrote, its been discussed many times on the internet and is well known. Its just that you present it in a way that implies the second you turn the phone on it's compromised. You've presented the extreme as if its inevitable. It just made me laugh, and my response was intended to be nothing more than humorous. Relax

sometimes, it is a bit difficult to figure out, bro .... recently I came across one interesting web site urbandictionary.com

Oh God ... such amazing things, I found there ... "F'donk" for example, is it really used by some one in real life?

what about iPhone/iPod touch with 1.1.2 Firmware, any better ??

 

[Kaiser]

I have found Mobile 6 to be more stable than 5 by a long shot. The benefits are like I mentioned, the remote wipe etc. Along with automatically storing all of your info on the Exchange server so your numbers and contacts are always backed up.

Well I am not much of a technical person but I used to have cingular wireless and I had thier treo phone. Biggest piece of shit. Was nice for texting and pics and stuff but for actually talking on the phone I couldnt ever hear anything. I always had to put it on speaker to hear and even that was low.

 

[roodogg]

Funny! I have heard from others that they could hear quite well on the treo. How do the others compare as far as actually using them to talk on?

The problem is not the Treo. It is Cingular..lol Hands down worst cellular company of all times. Cingular uses EDGE technology which is dial up speed. They claim its broad band but it's not. Now IMO CDMA is the way to go if you live in the United States. CDMA is either Alltel, Sprint, or Verizon. They have the fastest network hands down. Their network is 3G. Blazing fast up to 1.5mb/sec.

Hey Bro! I have unlocked about 20 iphones probably more. I do it for other cellular businesses to sell to their customers. Apple is shipping all of the new iphones with european firmware 1.1.2. There is currently not a way to unlock version 1.1.2. I would like to mention I HAVE jailbroken 1.1.2 so you can put whatever apps you want on it but you can't downgrade the baseband so you can not unlock it. If you have an iphone with version 1.1.1 on it I would be glad to help you do it. I got so fed up with all the bullshit on the internet on unlocking the iphone and what they failed to mention was they were "partial steps". SO I even wrote a tutorial on how to do it called "the non-bullshit way to completely unlock the iphone" lol

I have no loyalty to cingular but Verizon screwed me in the past cingular has 3G blackJack II are you saying that a 3G voyager from Verizon is superior?

Roo, Bro what I was saying is that 3G stands for 3rd generation. All CDMA (alltel, sprint,verizon) is 3G. The voyager is a cool phone but I personally do not like Verizon. I have the Ocean from Helio. Which works primarily off of sprint and verizon.
