Blackberry continued

Continued from Blackberry my precious

Finding a carrier for blackberry in Australia.

The main functions of a blackberry are the unlimited free email service and the internet browsing experience.

Now both of these are dependent on carrier and the plan you are in.

After a lot of beating around the bush in Australia, I found out that there is a plan on three which allows  business people who  come into Australia for short periods of time to take a postpaid blackberry plan with all the goodies included. Sorry no prepaid here

1. Free unlimited blackberry email
2. Free unlimited blackberry internet
3. and $350 worth of calling

this cap is called the business cap

Click here and check the “sim only” plan with $35 plan.

You get free unlimited blackberry internet along  with $350 of calling value. Its as good as it gets I guess.

Blackberry and an Iphone

Many people tell me that an Apple Ipod is way way better than a Blackberry.

How can you even compare them….Blackberry is for business people who have to be  email all the time and replying to emails.

The Blackberry physical keyboard is the best there is …typing on it is like typing on a real keyboard and the Pushmail service makes it being on a messenger.

Now iphone is nothing like that.

Of course you have a Pushmail service in Iphone, they are a paid service they cost some where from $150 a year

and they are not that good. At that price you can buy a new apple hardware product every 3rd year.

There is one thing that i will give to apple which is the app store. it has million and billions of apps.

Though  Blackberry does not have so many apps in its store but you will find an app for pretty much anything you want.

And did you know that anything before iphone 4 does not have multi tasking  ( no music and web browsing at the same time)…I mean what the hell, my 4 year old Moto razer had multi tasking!!!! it also had video calling,,,I ve never used video calling  in it though…it is a redundant feature…. would you not use Google talk to video call for free rather than use an expensive video call.

Google for Blackberry

You will find  google has a host of apps which you will love

There is a Twitter app, Facebook app and a Foursquare app.

If you get a Blackberry I am pretty sure you will love it.

But do keep in mind that a Blackberry is meant to be used in a 3G environment and not a GPRS environment.
