Verizon Launches RIM Blackberry 7250
O goody!
🙄 So, forgive me for sounding naive, but I've never understood the value of Blackberry products. I mean, yeah, you get your email, but so do gsm phones. Besides that, do they even really do anything? I just don't quite get the point. But hey, it's got a brighter color screen! 😲

FIRST OF ALL! Blackberries are for someone who is away from there desk more than being at there desk.If you get more than 2 emails aday on your cell phone than we all know that it takes for ever to respond, also attachments word pdf excel, does your cell phone open them? "no!" PDA functions might be on your cell phone but how hard is it to input your notes or do your calender.SO maybe you should read more on a topic/product before your submit a dumb reply like you did. 😲
"O bye the way" I would never have VERIZON service they rip you off! 😁

I find it very interesting that you would tell the previous person that he or she submitted a "dumb" response.
Your response was FULL of grammatical and spelling errors. SO maybe you should proofread your responses more carefully in the future!

Hmmmmm..... Sorry Mr. Burgiose, didn't realize I had offended. (But most smart phones do open attachments..... and are less expensive, but why get all scientific on each other? 🤣 ) Anyhow, I still haven't heard anything to convince me it's a worthy investment..... And I sell them! 😉
...
That's pretty sad that you sell a product you know nothing about. If you actually took the time to learn about the Blackberry's capabilities, you would see why it is invaluable to most business professionals.
...
You seem to missing the point, my friend. It's not that I don't know what the Blackberry can do, it's that I don't see it doing anything special. almost a third of my clientelle fit the profile of "potential blackberry customers" as they are traveling business people constantly out of the ofice and needing to stay in touch, but like I said, the Blackberry does nothing for them that they can't get elsewhere for less. I'm just looking for some answers as to what make this product that big. If I'm off-base and am missing the big picture, please, educate me. But I've been selling these since ATT started offering them and I have yet to feel like any of the ones I've sold have been of any use to my customers.

What sets BlackBerry apart is the BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES). If your company has one, you're not just reading mail...you have remote-control of your corporate e-mail, either Lotus Domino/Notes or Microsoft Exchange/Outlook. There's really nothing else like it, and it works so well with so little administration that I don't mind supporting 150 of these gems by myself.

This is very true - also many users find that they prefer the interface and it's sync capabilites with outlook - mainly ,eaning the way things are organized. The BES is the huge thing, though, and the push e-mail is fantastic. I used one of these myself for 3 months and would never have given it up, but my job too...

I'll just reply to your question about BlackBerry. I sell T-Mobile, not Verizon, but BlackBerry is the same here or there. The purpose and benefit of BlackBerry is the push email technology. You receive all your email (up to 10 different accounts on the 7100t) wherever you go. It makes it so that you don't check your email, you just respond to it like text messages. It's sort of like when you used to have dial-up internet and you had to log in and "check" your email. Then you upgraded to DSL or cable and Outlook, and now your email just arrives when it arrives. That's why BB is better than just email on your cell phone; it's easier and that means people use it more.
...
I can understand this benefit, because I still have dial-up on my computer since there is no other option living out in the country. 😁
...
Aha! A worthy answer! I thank you. 😁
Now, I pose a new question... Before the merger, AT&T was just beginning to release a product dubbed OGO.... Basicaly a messaging-only device that allowed one to check email, instant messaging, and text.... All unlimited for like $15 more a month for any GSM customer. Now I haven't heard anything about it since the Holy Merger, but seeing as the service was so inexpensive, and the devices averaged $250 less than BBs, wouldn't that be a preferable solution? (Assuming that someone picks up the idea and runs with it...) 😕

NO because its for KIDS..
I use this for work. if your email is
you name@your company name.com.. then the OGO will NOT work.. its only for AOL, Yahoo, etc..
But ONLY blackberry (at least they were the first there may be more companies now) was secure enough to tap into corporate email and send them to your handheld.. that is why they are soo valuable and important. You can "be at your desk" even when your not.
I like it... I guess you have to be an educated.. needed professional to see the use of this.. 🙂

Ouch! That hurt. Insulting my education and my professional value all at once... 🙄
But I suppose I will wager one more question, no doubt at the expense of yet another sharp-tongued ad hominem attack:
If Trix are for kids, why does that rabbit want them so bad? 😛

It's usually a matter of preference. Both Pocket PC and Blackberries are rich with features. The hardware for Pocket PC normally get a leg up with the common consumer because of the nice screen and camera's etc. The Blackberry have a much simpler form factor but are very robust in design with many redundant circuits to ensure reliability. Pocket PC are flashier but not as reliable in this respect.
My personal preference is using only a keyboard without having to fumble around for a "wand". Its a lot easier to use with one hand. I think there are pocket PC's that might have adopted this mind set where using a stylus is optional but I cannot confirm that.
