Anyone have the 8830 World Edition on Sprint? How is it?

Im thinking grabbing one of those. How is it different from the Curve. I actually want the Curve, but Sprint monthly is a lot cheaper than Cingular.

The 8830 doesn't have a camera, and the keyboard is more crowded than the curve. The 8830 has world roaming capability, which means you can use it onoverseas GSM networks with a sim card. Curve has a faster processor. That's about it, I think.

On my curve i can press the ALT key next to the left of the 7/Z key and theyn press the ARROW key to the right of the speaker phone/dollar sign buttonand that will lock the keyboard . To unlock the keyboard press the A button followed by the button with the green phone image and that will unlock. Im notsure about buttons to set the phone to vibrate but that isnt hard just use the track ball and the icon for volume setting.

If my cluttered detailed sentences cant help you then you are the fool because that is how you lock/unlock the keyboard. Look it up somewhere else and itwill say the same thing.

No.

Alt + Enter
Easy as that. You gave us a thesis with no margins.

he was just trying to be helpful.

 

[0n the grind]

anyone have the specs that images have to be in order for them to look good on the curve as a background

 

[cwrite78]

does anybody know when sprint will be getting the curve? i like my 8830 WE but i miss the camera.. and also like the size of the curve

 

[gettin it crackin]

I'm currently with Verizon and I have a KRZR (I used to have a RAZR). I also have a prepaid SK3 that I've had for about a year and three months or so.I'm looking to drop both and just get either the Pearl, the 8830, or the Curve if it ever comes to Verizon. Sorry if it has been asked before, but can someowners give me a rundown of the pros and cons for each phone? Which would be the ideal phone to buy?

 

[grizzlyboy]

I am on Verizon and I have the 8830. I love it. The only con is that it doesn't have a camera. I think the Pearl is for girls, but thats just me.

8830 All Day. The net is fast many options and add on applications. Good choice in my opinion.

I know for a phone call just go to the contact and it gives you the option in the last field.

I just want to add specific ring tones for e mails, text, voice mails. I have particular ring tones that I want to use for them and only them, not phonecalls. Does anyone know if this could be done?

 

[henz0]

You set all of that up under profiles. Where you change the volume.

I have a 8830 btw

 

[am 1 fiend]

Thanks henz0

 

[gettin it crackin]

Woah, wait, how many of you all are under Verizon? How much do you all pay per month for your BlackBerrys? The guy in the Verizon chat box said that you haveto have a voice/data bundle with a BB, and the cheapest is $80/month for 450 minutes of voice and text combined.

I'm currently under a Family SharePlan with four others, and we share either 300 or 500 minutes per month. I don't even know how this is going to work out. I'm not trying to spend anextra $150+/month for a BB with unlimited data. Can any Verizon BB users shed some light?

JiveTalk is the only one I can think of at the moment. Blackberry Maps. Google Maps. TeleNav.

Gettin it Crackin, all you're gonna pay is $30 extra for your BB data plan- your family plan rate shouldn't change.
As for apps, Live Search Mobile is decent, pretty much the same as Google and BB Maps.
