Then I found the Garmin Nuvi 880, and it was all I really wanted (except it doesn't do dead reckoning). That is when I became a frequenter of the Blackberry user forums, and wound up deciding to cut my losses without sinking more money into the BB-which would not give me the navigating setup that I wanted in the long run. So now I had the Garmin Mobile, but I needed to get the $150 package, which was for the DIFFERENT cell phone without builtin GPS-they are NOT THE SAME evidently. That is when I discovered I had the 8300 BB, which does not have built-in GPS, but is just "GPS CAPABLE." I felt duped of course, but what can you do. It didn't work, no signal it said could not acquire satellites. So a month ago I bought the Garmin Mobile for Blackberry with built-in GPS. I am an ATT user, no contract though, and when I got the BB I chose it for using GPS down the road. I just went through this whole mess trying to have GPS on my Blackberry 8300 (which I thought was the 8310). please no flamming from those of you that have been ripped off by Apple in the past, because your not going to change my mind. I guess I have never been one to buy the over priced Apples. Like I said I am happy with any knock off I can see coming down the pike and taking a bite out of apple.
Now in July it will come out again as a new series of phone, even lower priced than the last. The first users of the Iphone were looking for status and got a phone with Battery problems, then the second set got a break in the price, and Pis*ed off the original owners. And AT&T going along for the ride on that ridicules overpriced phone. I guess it's Apples Idea of gouging that has turned me off to the Iphone. well after walking around close to ground zero before they closed the whole lower half of Manhattan off, I noticed people talking on cell phones, when I approched and ask what service they had I found it to be Verizon, and was told they had about a 20min interuption in service and then back up, while everyone else was in a heap with the towers. Well the day the World Trade centers came down was havoc, now consider this The World Trade Center being the tallest structure around roofed the cell antennas for every provider in Manhattan. Now let me tell you what took me to Verizon, I lived in NYC for couple years 2000, 2003, while there I decided to not have a land line and just stay cellular. At that point I decided I would wait for the knock off's with regular fees like I pay to verizon. It's not AT&T's service I have a problem with per say, it's apple and the fee's the two decided for the Iphone, Of course I only checked when it first can out, and my friend received a bill for AT&T about 3 inches thick. Īlso if it's like AT&T/Blackberry, the service will not be free.
I have used Cingular/AT&T for years without a problem. I have noticed you say that several times.
