O2 for a BB 9700

[Guest jebise]

What do you guys think of my trade, this will be my last post here until i get my samsung vibrant in January. I think it was a good trade the O2 was an amazing phone but the main flaw was lack of RAM, even with a lite sence ROM. Yeah i coulda just used tw2 lite ROM's but sence is so much better and worth the 20-30MB of RAM.

The only reason anyone really uses a blackberry is if they were issued it by their employer or want to use it as a status item so they look like someone important...any time you jumped from a open to closed system you got ripped off.

agreed ^^

the only legit things u can do with a bb is sms and email, Your going to be pretty disappointed trust me. Your going from a phone you can tweek and play around with for ages and not get bored, to a bb that doesnt have many tweeks and customization you can do, and easily get bored of. Trust me the omnia 2 is alot more interesting and nicer. I came from a blackberry storm and a curve and they werent that great..

Dont get me wrong, bb 97 is a great phone, but I personally think it wasnt worth it to get it and the O2 is alot better. So much more you can do with the O2 then bb97..Give it about a month and you will be sad (N)

Its great your getting the Galaxy S though.. I played with that badboy at a bell store and omg i was ready to rip it out from the stand and run ahaha. Its a really great phone, only downside i see of it iss the lack of a flash for the camera.

That is the only thing that pisses me off about the Vibrant, its 2010 all phone MUST have a flash like come on it cost 50 cents they sell the phone for 500 CAD, they could easily sell for 505 or even 510 and people will still buy it.

The freezing was just the most recent kydkylin sence ROM i had the one from 13/08/2010, i really loved showangles personal ROM was actually the best and still the least amount of freezing and most RAM. Well i shouldn't say freezing but lack of RAM with s2p, sence and opera mini, wlm and messenger all running at some point in the day, i found near the end i was forced to restart the phone due to poor memory management by winmo or i was just able to have 2 to 3 apps open and with a restart 4-5. Personally i never used the phone for gaming, although resco snake and bubble where lot of fun. I love tweaking the hell out of it and the screen was just amazing and the video quality was so great. The phone is still one of the best in my books and if almar get android on it i will regret trading, but by the look of things when he dose i will already have the vibrant.

I'm finding the closed BB OS as a real bummer, the phone is utterly useless with out a data plan. On the O2 just install garmin and the maps and you are good BB you need data. O2 use wlm over wifi BB you need data. The lack of internal memory also bugs me, going from 16GB to 2GB is a real bummer as well.

But i always had data to begin with so no real bummer there, i loved tweaking the omnia but found it took to much time and alot of reflashing on my part coz i like thinks in a certain way. I dunno i feel as if it was a fair trade, i will surely miss the 3.7 AMOLED touch Screen and 16GB memory. But i also love how everything just works on the BB without tweaking or anything and you can still do a lot of the things the omnia can if you have data, which i do. Yes i can't touch the screen, but my main thing for a phone is just sms,wlm,gps and music which the BB dose a better job at least i think so.

The biggest flaw in the BB which i though was not there is lag, i find sometimes the phone lags when you start doing more things. Same case with the omnia, i do see the difference in performance, the O2 is blazing fast compaired to the BB hardware yet its a winmo which is a let down and main reason for the trade.
