@hydeman03. yes check mecero.nl and go to blackberry accesoires. XD !!! Let's split it you 70% me 30% :P

[hydeman03]

@Klootzak020 in your country have accesories for this phone? I think I can make money on my country selling them...xD (really I think I can...)

[Klootzak020]

@hydeman03. Then it's just bad luck. Try from foreign country's maybe they have parts like batteries and holders ? 

[hydeman03]

@alharbi591 it depends....if you want to use wifi to use blackberry apps then you have to get data or at least activate BIS and BES services from your phone carrier...otherwise you can freely surf the web

[hydeman03]

@jontran29 me too!!! everytime I want to make a call it gets "sos"

[hydeman03]

@iloveemaad above the battery it has a little slot you have to insert it, you insert it then you cant get it out easily xDDD

[hydeman03]

@hydeman03 last tbc (I think...)

9-if you like too much the clock of this phone then buy a real watch or something like that, also you say its simple to use...I dont think the same when the trackball gets to not move to certain direction, camera freezes when recording videos (and you see the camera freezes when you watch the recorded video), and the last one...I cant do/get a call without getting SOS on my signal

10-I'd recommend you another blackberry different than this one or samsung G-fit

[hydeman03]

@hydeman03 back...

5-then why do they call it a "smartphone"? if I cant get phone+bbm+msn+music player working at the same time...(those are the only apps I got to use to get this phone laggy)

6-same as 5

7-its not the size of the screen...its because the phone doesnt rotate the videos to watch it on landscape fullscreen mode (and you have to search how to rotate videos to watch them correctly, otherwise you'll see it mini)

8-do I have to go to the cinemas to watch a video I just recorded???

tbc

[hydeman03]

@Klootzak020 ok...some examples:

1- 5 minutes booting??? thats too "fast" wow

2-finding a holder for this phone is too hard that you'll end trying to use nokia's holders that didnt protect the screen

3-I've searched that battery everywhere and everyone tells me the same "we only sell the phone,not the battery" thing

4-its not about pressing carefully...its just the fact that dust gets inside the system due to the lack of holders (and an inappropiate one that I had to use)

tbc...

[Klootzak020]

1. Depends on how you use it.

2. Buy a holder.

3. Change the battery.

4. Press carefully. Treat your phone like a lady.

5. Well if you look at the phone it isn't really a multitasking phone.

6. Why need apps. This is the ideal phone for just calling and texting. Otherwise buy an Iphone.

7. Yep it's to small to watch. Buy a Tablet.

8. Go to the cinemas.

9. It's the best phone for simple use and it looks very nice. Especially with the analog clock in the front.

10. I recommend it.
