Guys, im new with BB. Planning to get 1 9700 while using iphone 2g. Hehe. I have few question here and hope someone could clear my doubt.

1. What does BIS mean?
2. I am using maxis line, can i use digi or celcom BB service?
3. Does the maps in BB working in M'sia?
4. Does the battery allow to charge frequently like iphone? I mean won't cause any damage to the battery if I suka suka or have time then charge the battery in my car.
5. Is BB stable (hardware/ software)? My bought my AP iphone for 2 years and have no problem so far (touch wood). Hope won't have a chance to use BB warranty like iphone does.

1. Blackberry Internet Service, you need it to use the internet/e-mail related functions of the Blackberry. BES is Blackberry Enterprise Service for those who maintain their own Blackberry e-mail server.
2. Nope u have to use Maxis BB service if you're using a Maxis line
3. Yes it does though it's kinda basic. Google maps which is freely downloadable offers a better experience.
4. Yes no problem with this. Lithium Ion batteries like to be topped up.
5. Yes it's stable unless you frequently update your device to leaked OSes or load a lot of 3rd party apps which may not be so well designed. But for the most part it's great especially with the 9700.

Hi Reuben,

Thanks for your quick reply. From your thread, i knew you have a good experience with your BB thumbup.gif

1. I heard ppl said celcome BIS/ coverage is way better than maxis, is this true?
2. Which mean BIS is for internet, email, msn etc and BES is for those technical guy to maintain their company email server?
3. How can we update BB OS? Download to PC and install from there?
4. Will the phone get lock like iphone while update OS?
5. If we caught in trouble (BB hang etc) after install 3rd party app, can we troubleshoot by ourselves?

sorry for asking so many question here, as i need to get full review/understanding before i buy smile.gif
Thanks for taking time on my question. Appreciate it. notworthy.gif

hi,
1. http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-lectu...ats-difference; http://crackberry.com/blackberry-101-how-lecture-series
2. you can use any telcos as long as your unit's PIN is released. more here: http://forum.lowyat.net/Blackberry; http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1193190
3. yes but mine is BES; also see these too: http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1303219&hl=map, http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopic=1296941&hl=map and this http://forums.crackberry.com/f41/real-fix-...-v1-0-a-192999/ for future referrences
4. yes as long as it's the right charger
5. very stable - unless you're unlucky; it's meant for corporate sector whom abuses their units uncompromisingly!

loads of info in this forum/section, just take sometime read before buying one and u'll be alright.
cheers!
