any blackberry users on here?

[anfrey]

so a guy just offered me 75 bux plus a blackberry bold for my 3g iphone, u guys think i should take it?
i figured id post this question here since this is the blackberry thread

depends what you're looking for in a phone.

blackberrys are not anything close to a iphone, like anf said i guess it is just according to what you want out of your phone, do u want to have that useless touch screen and dumb apps that do nothing and have a phone just cause its a apple, or do you want somthing u can actually text and email on with ease

BBs are robust business machines with a big toe in the swimming pool of consumer applications. it's not a gimmicky phone at all. it's all about what your smartphone needs are. while BBs have some pretty cool tricks, it's not a phone to "show off" with but rather a very functional box.

 

[R3dline]

agreed

did you get an error or did it just not recognize the code? make sure the entire QRtag is on the screen, in the proper orientation

It just would not read... The whole barcode was in the screen... I'll try again!!

sometimes with certain screens there's issues due to the refresh rate, but eventually the cam should autofocus on the tag and recognize it.

Yeah it took a second to focus but after it did it still didn't reconize it... Maybe I'll re-download BBM

[anfrey]

that's odd, i just keep the cam pointing at the code and it picks it up.
