Does anyone use a Blackberry/similar device for the forum?

[lindamarie]

Today I sat in the doctors office AGAIN for a couple hours.
I got into some emails and things, but I didn't try the forum.
Does anyone use a BB/Droid/..whatever on here?
My thinking is that it will be soooooo tiny that it will be irritating!
Thoughts?

I have a Blackberry, I practically live on it and I do check the forum on my BB!

[lindamarie]

Thanks........do you have it saved somewhere in the BB.......and is it easy to participate?

[Brigadigit]

I have it saved under bookmarks in the web browser. Easy to read and post!

[lindamarie]

Thanks!
I tried it once awhile ago.....maybe it seemed difficult because I had just got my BB.

[Brigadigit]

Haha yea, sometimes using the BB browser is a pain because you have to go deep into the settings to change what shows up first and such!

I've been reading on my Iphone! Since I don't have a doodle yet - I'm mostly just reading old posts and just gathering info and all that jazz.... but on the Iphone - the screen is bigger and so it looks exactly the same as on the computer! I can even magnify what I'm reading....and log in and everything.

[lindamarie]

Well..........I am on my BB right now........not bad, but I prefer my laptop! It's much slower & far too much zooming in!

LINDA have you considered the minilap tops? they're small compact and easy to use though YOU DO NEED a USB device with DATA PLAN
THE USB is w/one company is free after mail in rebate. AND might be the way to go for you :wireless , small and easy to read

OR the IPHONE Is an awesome device esp/for business for you and you can use it as a write off if using for real estate
I know many using the IPHONE for work that aren't in office setting that employees need to reach and thus you can use
msft applications and more.........so the DATA PLAN is the same price

not sure which company you're with THE V or the T one.

Well.........here's my story annmaire and the wallet talks first!

I had my BB for just a few months month Verizon came out with the Droid which is similar to the Iphone. I wanted it! My husband was due for a new phone and I figured I'd let him use the BB and I'd get the Droid! Hmmm........then I figured that our verizon bill would be $30 more a month for us to BOTH have one that had the wireless internet and that would have been a waste of money.
My husband does a lot of texting, but I didn't see it necessary to spend an additional 30 bucks when it's not work related for him.
PLUS!! OMGOSH!! I would have to TEACH him which really would be a major PITB!! :P
So..........now I have to wait a tad more than a year until I'm due for an upgrade.

Also, with my last 2 closings, I had planned on getting a MAC. I need all this stuff for work and it IS a write off...........but I couldn't justify spending the bucks on the MAC right now in this economy. So.........I am right where I am.
I didn't realize that I would be so disappointed in the BB as it really is so tiny. But, I had no other options when I got my uprgrade.
Figures, huh? They come out with the next best thing a couple months later!

Good to know the Iphone works with the forum. We'll be upgrading next month when our contract is up. I can take the forum everywhere with me!

i ve been using my new Acer netbook..i ve yet to find an area where i could nt connect with the wireless..only draw back is the battery charge go s down real fast as i start using the external drives..

a question about the BB..when you use the online feature..does it go against your minutes ?..and is there a online charge like the lan setup
at home?

[lindamarie]

Nope on the minutes. You pay a monthly unlimited internet fee.
