To judge the work of BB with mail, you need to connect the LSI, mail on E71 and Blackberry with connected services, as they say "two big differences")

I read about these bis things: D, I imagine, but I did not use it myself - there is no need. Because I need from the post office: get it quickly, read it, respond if necessary. Everything. Nokia E71 is able to do everything, though a bit stupid, sometimes waiting for 2-3 seconds before opening it. But this is not particularly critical for me.

The rest of them are almost purple to me.
Why "almost"? - Sometimes there is not enough flexibility when working with attachments. But this is rare, and the restrictions and BB, and smartov in general, the processing of file attachments are forced to get used to working with attachments on the BB '.

P.S. BB, unlike BB, is Big Brother :)

So what is it all the more such a communicator with all the consequences or a touch screen phone?

you can not say "full", but in general can be called a communicator.
However, if the BB service is not connected, then this is just a big and heavy dialer with a kind of touchscreen and a limited number of applications. } -)

orange, Do not say nonsense. BB-full communicator with a stable OS. Of course, it’s impossible to find such a large number of applications as a stub and ondroyed, but it copes with its communication functions perfectly well. Simply, it was originally created to work with a data plan, and not with crutches that come up for it.

Where can I find gps maps on blackberry storm 9500? Need a map of Kazakhstan.
P.S. BB use for the first time

A small part of the screen is inactive, does not respond to pressing, is it treated?

It seems that many who praise BB’s “benefits” here didn’t hold an iPhone and a normal android (at least the first Galaxy C), all the functions listed here are in these devices, so they are not the advantages of BB. The applications on the BB are an order of magnitude smaller, a strong link to the services, most of which are either slaughtered by MTS or not provided in Russia at all. Blackberry is a phone for CORPORATE customers who care about information integrity, and all the more synchronization of the device remotely and over encrypted channels with the corporate server, and which use the device data for the sake of it. In Russia, these real advantages are blocked, so the meaning of the phone in Russia at its cost is simply lost.

P.S. Even if you take prices on ebee, then for the same money you can take again the same Galaxy C (about $ 220-240 will be released), which will overtake the second storm, not to mention the Russian prices at 25k (this is the cost of the fourth iPhone and Galaxy C2 )

P.P.S. For comparison: in comparison with Galaxy C 1, the battery is worse in the storm, the screen is smaller and worse, the processor is weaker, the RAM is smaller, the camera is worse, the interface is yes, specific, but the android is prettier (2.3.3) and more flexible. Similarly, when compared with an iPhone, even with 3Gs (cameras are really similar, these will have an interface that is not flexible with an iPhone, although now there are a lot of buns for customizing an iPhone beyond recognition: in more detail in the “themes for iPhone” in the corresponding branch), not to mention 4ke and 4s.

P.P.P.S. Give at least one significant reason why a person in Russia should take Storm 2 instead of Samsung Galaxy S2 (or some HTC) or iPhone 4 at the same price?

Guys, what needs to be done for the browser to access the Internet via mobile networks, and not only if there is a wi-fi connection? American phone.
Mac9l,
I wanted a phone without unnecessary garbage in the form of superprocessors and amoles, while it should not look like a piece of plastic. $ 200 bought blackberry. In Russia, they are probably very serious people who buy, or they think that Apple is pop, and BB is a really fashionable attribute.
Threat Pushing the screen - just the plague.

Set appropriateservice booksunder your operator.

I use Storm 2 and 9900. The reasons are enough. The brightest screen in direct sunlight, compared Samsung with different models and with HTC. This creates certain amenities. If you are dependent on prompt receipt of mail and at the same time move at least in Russia, then only Blackberry guarantees you instant delivery without charging a fee for Internet traffic in roaming. Pay about 360 rubles. per month. Regarding the applications of which all are not enough in blackberry, then really look at what you use on your smartphone and have no doubt, you will find them for blackberry as well. True, you have to pay in the order of one dollar for each and yet they are all in English, so far there is no Russian localization. Do not forget, and such a fact, RIM is the only company that produces backgrounds and has its own servers, which are, for Russia with restrictions, but support the protection of your data by encryption and its secure transfer. The US government certified precisely Blackberry in terms of information security, for government agencies. And yet, this is not only the background, it is also a data transfer service that no one else has.
Regarding the stability and sustainability of the Blackberry system, then from the traffic lights in Toronto, to nuclear power plants it is used (of course not in the telephone version).
I use different backgrounds for work. Noticed the difference in the transmission of speech on all backgrounds without exception from the blackberry. Firmware modems and stuff there is nothing to do with it. Stitched, changed and set up.

Add a quote from the user manual for BlackBerry.
To send an encrypted PIN message, you must have the PIN and email address of the recipient in your contact list. The smartphone uses the email address in the contact list to find the PGPВ® key or certificate for the contact.
Your BlackBerryВ® smartphone can encrypt email and PIN messages using a passphrase that is shared between the sender and the recipient.

If you find such functions in any device and that the manufacturer of devices supports the functions all over the world, then I agree with you that there is no reason to buy BlackBerry. And these are just two quotes from the manual.
It is also possible to get up in the balloon in the air, but at least it is unwise to compare it with stealth (F-117A Invisible Aircraft).

Crokodil50 , everything that you have reported about encryption does not work in the Russian Federation. Disabled by providers. When sending a PIN message in the Russian context, it is simply sent, and that’s all: D There’s no key phrase or anything else. There is simply no “send encrypted PIN message” menu item. It is not displayed, because it is disabled by providers)))

BB in the Russian conditions is like a high-quality electric coffee maker in the desert, in a Bedouin's yurt. And she herself is expensive, and it seems to be working well ... only now there is no place to connect and no one to talk to: the services of such a Bedouin are not provided: D

Aleha, I agree with you, but only in part. You mean WI-FI lock. Purchase a European phone or unlock it. Further, you can not bother and if the main purpose of the mail and its instant delivery, then connect to the operator in Europe, the benefit is 85 euros per month and you will be lucky not to pay big money for Internet roaming and guaranteed not to get into the news, as a person owed our operators not one hundred thousand rubles. And of course the most important thing is the quality of the transmission of speech, so with the Bedouins here is not all right. And at the expense of encryption, then you can not worry too much - you have to be law-abiding. ;)
This is a completely different device, if you are thinking of buying Bugatias, will you think about exactly where you can drive at max speed. I do not mean the quality of roads, but the permission for such speeds.

You read me very carefully: D

Just "blocking" wifi me anddidn't have in mind. It is unlocked by the air, besides, I don’t have any PCT devices at all - a prejudice, you see. I prefer pure Americans who were not touched by the rake of domestic "specialists".

As for your thoughts about 85 euros and roaming, I disagree with them: lol:
Take a look even vodafonovskieblackberry tariffsIn Great Britain. There are plans for 25 megabytes per day, but in the European tariff zone. I left for Russia or, let's say, Rwanda, which is almost the same thing, forgive us forgive roaming tariffs to a fabulous country. In some cases, MTS or Beeline seem small children by the modesty of their requests.

Gentlemen

Since our parent company in Aglitsa, according to its policy, insists that our Moscow office should buy only blackberry, chose Storm 2 as a more or less similar device to a smartphone. However, after reading all the Internet, I did not understand whether the Yandex maps will work or not. I understood that BIS does not support them, but will they work in this razklad: I have the MTS corporate unlimited internet connection now, will the yandex cards work (with traffic, of course)?

Will and work.
And what are the doubts connected with?

What does the phrase "BIS do not support them" mean? BIS is required to support embedded applications and programs from AppWorld, and the rest is "support" on the conscience of third-party software developers. All available maps work for me on the 9550: built-in RIM-ovsky, Yandex and Google. Above the roof.

On the Blackbury forums I read that there is a problem with Yandex maps, I even saw a petitionhttp://www.blackberrys.ru/forum/index.php?...11754&st=20.



"First, the application is not capable of working through standard BlackBerry transports - BIS-B, DES (MDS)." a source:http://www.onlinepetition.ru/BlackBerry/petition.html

The problem, obviously, is, but it is not global.
I repeat, I have M.Ya.K. work on a variety of devices from 8800 to 9800 without any problems, both with LSI, and without it, through Wi-Fi or zhprs.
Specifically on 9550 cardsare working also no problem.

Aleha



Aleha, thank you for the answer!
