BlackBerry smartphones I just got my new Motorola Droid 2

I thought I'd share my feelings on the Blackberry storm and what RIM did that was really bad.

1 RIM abandoned the excitement about the storm very quickly, so that the successive versions were actually worse. I went for more than a year with:

a. bad phone calls (I had to put in speaker mode to receive calls from phone to work). The Droid 2 is clear.

b. the screen click statement so much better on the droid just to have a vibrarion minute when you click a button on the screen. Works just as well.

c. the Blackberry is slow on just about everything and is broken just about anywhere. I get my screen in a mode where I press a keyboard and a button on the opposite side of the screen lights up as if I pressed on y. I don't have these problems with my new droid.

d. the blackberry only gives you quick access to material internal. I understand the security concepts but droid can do and maintain security.

2. the differences between the blackberry and the droid 2 are just night and day. I am surprised every time function and response. The droid 2 just leave the blackberry storm in the dust. If I didn't know any better, I would say that Blackberry is out of the phone business. They might as well give up now.

3. I suggest that RIM or leverage in QNX (which is a very nice RTOS), or implement an android phone that is clean and add to the cool, rather than harm to this.

Good luck and I'm disappointed, but I gave Blackberry a fair shake. They just don't cut.

I am a developer too and I reached a relatively high level in the developer for blackberry forum.

I develop for android now.

I had a storm 1.

I kept the software updated.

I'm a software engineer, so he was not a user error.

The droid 2 is about the same size as the blackberry storm, so the comment about 2 x 4 is . The droid is very nice to use as a phone... and I could hear a pin drop. The speaker is also very good.

My comments are not opinion. They are done. I have described specific things that happened with my phone. I don't see how the Storm 2 would be different. That he could call ability (note that I couldn't keep my storm in my ear that I had to make a decent call in speakerphone mode). It could also have the location of the most reliable touchscreen. However, it would still have other issues. And blackberry connect this droid 2. User experience everything is so nice and so natural to feel that I am very surprised. I was expecting it to be different, but not that good. It really is like night and day. If you have not used a droid. Find a friend with one and ask to swap the phones for a day or to spend an hour with her. It will blow you away. It's so nice.

Yes, these discussions can be like religions. I agree with that, but I've always been a fan of blackberry. I gave him a fair shot. I'm afraid that's not a fair opinion. My droid 2 is VASTLY superior to my blackberry storm... This isn't a fair opinion.

Finally, I acknowledge that by limiting the use, the blackberry is a tad safer, and the android OS is open to virus and security issues. However, if you buy a specific device with a certified operating system, do not install an application not certified, you will be safe. Yes, it is possible for someone to write an application that is not secure for the droid and to sell or to give it for free through an unusual channel, but this is a user error. A talented person could do the same for the blackberry. I could do this using assembler arm and points in the start-up code for an application. I have to waste his time to understand the appropriate addresses, but thanks to the knowledge of the means chip I could do if I wanted to waste a lot of time. It is I don't have time to lose... Then the verdict here is that security is really up to the habits of the user. It is easier to hit a virus by mistake on a droid on a blackberry, but it's pretty rare... rare enough to not make a difference for me. Now for applications sensitive military and policies (such as the phones of the President), then it makes more sense to use a blackberry.

Peace

  • BlackBerry smartphones I just got my phone and I am very confused

    I'm normally pretty good art to find this kind of things out, but this phone left me speechless.  When I go to the manual and find the instructions to know how to hide my phone number, he said:

    1. In the phone, press the Menu key.
    2. Click on Options.
    3. Click on General Options.
    4. Set the field to restrict my identity on always.
    5. Press the Menu key.
    6. Click Save.

    OK, is there something special to be in the phone?  If I press the Menu key when they phone is on, I get to hide or show the icon thingy.  If I click on options, there is no general options category.  I don't know that I am doing something totally wrong here.

    The second question I have is, how can I enter a * before a number to call.  I found the code for a break, but I can't understand how to enter the * and I can't find anything in the documentation or the other.

    Hello

    The key is "into the phone.

    It means to go to the dialing screen.

    1. In the phone, press the Menu key.  (Green press to make you phone)
    2. Click on Options.
    3. Click on General Options.
    4. Set the field to restrict my identity on always.
    5. Press the Menu key.
    6. Click Save.

    You can add the * in the phone number. It is a numeric field if you do not have to use the ALT key.

    If you need more information, please ask!

    If this isn't the case, please adjust the position using the kudo boot options.

    Just check the post who have had your answer!

  • BlackBerry Smartphones Ringtones of old to new 9700 8100

    I just got a new BlackBerry Bold 9700 and want to transfer my old BlackBerry Pearl 8100 ringtones. Ringtones have been purchased through T-Mobile.

    I tried to transfer by Bluetooth. They seemed to be transferred, but could not be played by the "BOLD". Although the BlackBerry media player would open them, no sound would play and they were only about a second long instead of about 15 seconds.

    I then tried to transfer with Roxio Media Manager for BlackBerry which is part of the old version of the BlackBerry Desktop Software provided with my Pearl. First, I copied my Pearl ringtones to my computer, then from my computer to my "BOLD". I got the same results as with Bluetooth.

    Finally, I tried to transfer the ringtones memory from the device to the Pearl SD micro card and then put the card in the "BOLD". It works no more.

    I don't know if this has something to do with ringtones. MP3.rem. the .rem isn't visible once I have transfer ringtones memory unit to micro SD memory. Encryption for my micro SD card is set to off.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    It is possiable, they could be restircted only be used on the device they have been downloaded to. The best thing I can say is that you contact the vendor of the ringtone or the original point of sale or download.

    I hope this helps.

  • I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    I just got a new modem (Arris SB6190) and now my Airport Extreme does not connect.  It worked fine with the previous modem (a rented one TWC).  Help!

    Always recommended to reset the airport back to settings by default and then set up again whenever you have a new modem or change your Internet Service provider.

    Turn off the new modem for at least 30 minutes. More is better.

    Perform a hard reset on the AirPort Extreme, then it turned off.

    Make sure that the Ethernet cable connects the modem to the "O" on the AirPort Extreme WAN port

    After the power of the modem 30 minutes down, turn on the modem and let it run for at least 5 minutes by itself.

    Then, turn on the airport and let it run a few minutes

    Set up AirPort Extreme again

    Important note... There are many reports of problems with the modem Arris SB and airports. Both are great products, but they do seem to work perfectly together for some users.

    Hello

    What is you get the exact error message?

    You have the required drivers for the printer?

    If you have problems installing a printer, or if you have added a printer but are unable to use it, you need to maybe install or update the printer driver so that it is compatible with the version of Windows you are using.

    Some drivers that come with Windows, are available through Windows Update, or are registered on your computer through the hardware installation process and are ready to install. In other cases, you will need to install the drivers using a CD or DVD provided by the manufacturer of the printer. To install these drivers, follow the steps to use the Printers folder. If the driver you need is not already stored on your computer or if you do not have a CD or DVD, try to search the website of the manufacturer of the printer to see if you can download and install from there.

    I recommend you go through the manual supplied with the printer first. The manual includes the steps that will lead you through the installation process.

    I just got a new Windows 7 computer, and it has many applications in this shift makes the apps that I really need. How can I completely restart the computer world and lose all files, applications, etc., that came with the computer first

    If these are apps you added and want more, you can use the functionality of your computer factory restore. Unfortunately, this erases the disk and leave you with a double précis of his State when you turned on for the first time.  Then, you would have to do all the updates of Windows and then install all the programs you want.

    Otherwise, use programs uninstaller (from Control Panel) for each application that you do NOT want to uninstall.

    If AT & T has provided the modem, you can give them a call and explain the problem you are having. They should be able to help you. If you did not have all that in place, then it would be a little difficult to explain what you need to do... but... basically you would need to connect the modem and check the settings there and make sure your printer match the parameters.
