I'm currently using E71, and i use the internet a lot through my phone esp during meetings and i need to reply work emails while on the go. And as well as tether the connection to laptop when there is no internet connection. But my E71 will get extremely hot as it connects to 3G/EDGE. I'm wondering if BB will get hot when it connects to BIS 24/7?

Thanks

Ah, crap. My E71 gets REALLY REALLY hot, feels like as if it's melting in my palm . Iphone does the same too.

Contemplating to get a Bold though.

I am constantly in a meeting and our wireless is only confined to that floor (or actually, to that room)... so i use my E71 to access the 3G internet to reply mails, etc. And i travel too (leisure), and need connection to check my emails. Arghhhhh, i loveeee my E71, if only it doesnt get hot when using data connection. Might get a BB in the near future, test running colleague's Bold at the moment. Not a fan of their GUI (hahaha) but durability sure own its points

Cant afford BB Bold last time, hence bought E71. Now i feel guilty for ogling at the bold. Maybe, in the near future... RM1800 for a bold, hmmm. that is a lot of money!

domokun, what happened to your E71? you ditched it? I am carrying 2 phones now (N6233), cannot imagine carrying E71 and BB. My pocket will be bulging

Hahaha!

Btw if the BB doesn't have 3G, means the BIS is running on EDGE speed?

I believe maxis unlimited plan already included 3G/data costs. Hence, you can tether. Better check with Maxis ...

I believe you can cos the units are unlocked
