Why type Jim, and not just Jim?

Ach I'm old-fashioned. It's like the way people used to write letters. I haven't written a letter in 3 years.

Amazing!  I usually write and send an average of 4 letters per day and that doesn't include mailshots.

I got one of them kind of letters once. It wasnt your signature at the bottom, but needless to say the old man drove me into your office first thing the next morning.

I have always used nokia phones and this one gets good reviews plus it looks nice. Maybe its time for me and Nokia to part ways and go for the Blackberry.

Nokia E series AFAIK use the old symbian menu system.... In a nutshell its a new style handset with an old operating system!! Honestly wouldnt touch it!!

Anybody know some good apps worth downloading to the Blackberry? Only got the phone today and so far so good, still getting used to the qwerty keyboard though. My last phone was a nokia 6300 so its a big upgrade for me and it will probably take me a while getting used to this up to date technology.

Google talk... Great tool and I use it a lot!! Also the facebook app

Blackberry users - do you sync MS Outlook with your home PC or work PC?

I am able to sync my emails with OWA, the web version of Outlook.  However, it doesn't sync the calendar unless you get a meeting request which goes to my calendar.  I am not sure how it would work if I had the MS Exchange connection.

Corporately, you need a thing called Blackberry Exchange Server (BES). But people who buy BB for themselves wouldnt be into that.

Found the facebook app to be pure crap I would just use the normal browser for that. If your into sports/football get the Goal and Score Apps. Current affairs i have the Reuters app which is pretty good. I also have the Flixter movie app which is good for movie reviews etc. Wish there was more UK based apps but im sure in time there will be more developed.

Crackberry and its forums are also worth checking out on a regular basis for tips, info and any problem you need solved.

Jim - I use the Word, Excel and PDF features from the Data-Viz application a lot in my business

Finding it a real pain in the ass finding good free apps. 

Also my new contract has unlimited internet plus the BIS thing. If u get BIS does this mean that there is no need for the unlimited internet that vodafone offer as BIS already offers unlimited internet?
