So it's time for a new phone. I have just a basic right now, and I want to upgrade. I'll need a little more than a basic with our website up and running and to check orders. I don't think I want a touchscreen keyboard.

We're with T mobile right now, so the pickin's are slim. They do offer bb's, but I don't have a clue which phone to get.

I also can't spend an outrageous amount of money.

Here's their bb phones: 9700, 8520

They also have several other "smartphones".

Please give me some recs. I'm clueless when it comes to new phones. I'd be happy with my daughter's samsung comeback if that's all I need.

I love my Blackberry but it's an email phone. I have the Curve and it's a bit of an older model... I have not messed with the newer phones much like the Storm or Storm 2 and I hear that they are better... but the web browsing on BB's is WEAK.

If you want a phone for web stuff, it's an iPhone or a Droid phone for sure... not sure what your choices are for that with Tmobile though, but I know AT&T is the only place for iPhones...?

Ask Saltman what he thinks of his HTC Incredible on Verizon.

I have a Blackberry Tour, and I love it. The only thing is I wish the screen were larger for when I get SlingBox. That's the only reason I'd ever consider a touch screen.

I think the Bold (9700) is pretty good, I don't know enough about the Curve (8520). But BlackBerry in General is a great, reliable brand. I'd go for that over a brand-x smart phone.

It is, for now. The new webkit browser should be out in the next month or so, and it's suppose to be the dookie. I have a BB and like it alot. The only thing I don't like is the native browser, but they are addressing it. A plus of BB would be BB Messenger, unique to BB's. It's an instant messenger client that does not use your airtime or data plan, and runs directly through the BB servers. You can talk to anyone with a BB around the globe on it. Very cool.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love my BB too... and that's mainly because I use it almost solely for email and it's been huge for me to not have to lug around a laptop and to be able to get the push email anywhere, anytime and answer it right there. I do find myself getting more and more into wanting a better browsing experience... and some of the droid apps are pretty damn cool.

Holy hell. My daughter's comeback has email, apps, web browsing, gps. I just got on facebook with it and I know she can get on youtube with it. It has cnn and espn something. Her service is only 10 bucks extra/month.

What's the difference in what she can do and what a bb or the mytouch can do? Like I said, I'm clueless. I didn't even know Casey had all that on her phone. I thought we bought it for texting.

BB are excellent for communicating. True push email and all that jazz. Plus you can get all the facebook and other social site apps if ya want. They lack in media and entertainment. The games available suck and currently the do not support flash. Go to the tmobile store and fondle all the ones they have.

      Most hated teams

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      After Bountygate and the information that came out on the Saints owners shielding pedophile priests in New Orleans it will forever be the Saints numero uno for me. FUG THE SAINTS! I hope this is just the beginning of a long term period of suffering for that shitty organization run by even shittier human beings. #2.Pats/Belicheat #3. Falcons (Mike Vick years then Matt Ryan/Julio running it up) Ryan pooping his pants and 28-3 def makes my bad days always better just thinking of those. #4 Pretty much any franchise fan base thats obnoxious Steelers, Eagles, Bills, Jets, Giants, Cowboys, etc.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By BEASTfromdaEAST · Posted

      Thank God DM used that #8 pick on a bona fide WR1 and not some bum pass rushing prospect like Stewart or someone else. I believe Tet is legit WR1 material and going forward will be our long term answer at that position since we desperately were in need of one once they traded away DJ Moore.  Tet could possibly end up even being better long term than someone who I respect a ton as a WR in Moore. Evans has been a pleasant surprise and great TE/FB depth piece going forward who could make the most of his opportunities.  Any good offense worth a damn in the NFL has 3 TEs that can do multiple things and being scared by Ian Thomas play for years should makes us all appreciate what Evans is quietly doing as a ROOKIE at one of the hardest positions to learn at the pro level.  Keep cooking DM. This season is not over obviously but seeing some growth out of young talent finally is a breathe of fresh fuggin air for once.

      PFF Best Rookies so far: Two Panthers

      By mav1234 · Posted

      Saw this show up in my new feed. Nice to see a couple of our rookies making it into the top 5 so far, even if it is a pff measure... From https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-top-15-rookies-week-9-2025 ... 4. TE Mitchell Evans, Carolina Panthers (78.7) Evans struggled in the Panthers’ tight win over the Packers, finishing with a 41.8 PFF overall grade — third worst among tight ends this week. He was not targeted in the game and played only one snap in pass protection. He did log 15 run-blocking snaps, and although he earned a 68.9 PFF run-blocking grade in zone looks (seven snaps), his 39.0 mark in gap schemes (second worst for the week) dragged him down to a 46.6 PFF run-blocking grade overall — sixth worst for the week. Despite seeing zero targets over his past two games, Evans still leads the Carolina tight end group with a 74.3 PFF receiving grade. He has caught all nine of his targets for 90 yards, six first downs and two touchdowns. Evans also leads the Panthers’ tight end group in PFF run-blocking grade (72.2). He has recorded a 20.5% positive play rate across 175 snaps.  5. WR Tetairoa McMillan, Carolina Panthers (78.6) McMillan had a better day against the Packers, recording four catches for 46 yards. Most of that production came in the first quarter via two 16-yard catches — one of which he snatched from Carrington Valentine’s hands, who was in perfect position to break up the pass. McMillan accounted for three first downs on the day, although Green Bay was able to limit his impact after the catch, holding him to 0.8 yards after the catch per reception. McMillan now has 41 catches for 558 yards — a top-15 mark. He is also tied for second with 19 explosive gains of 15-plus yards. Three of McMillan’s catches against the Packers came between the numbers, bringing him to 22 for 318 yards and 19 first downs (tied for second most) this season. He owns a 26.1% threat rate and a 76.6 PFF receiving grade between the numbers. He also ranks in the top 10 in explosive gains (10) and yards after the catch per reception (5.5) within that area of the field.
