switched os to the latest v6.0.0.337 (pre-released) version. solved a lot of bugs, e.g.
- when press the message in notification area, the calendar doesn't pop up any more.
- browser seems more faster especially in zooming in pictures

not sure whether it is celcom problem or os6 problem.
the same email (read) will keep on pushing to my device, even after i've deleted it from the device.
even after i access gmail from notebook, and delete the email, same email will still be pushed!
de only way problem is 'solved' is to remove email account from device, and reconfigure again.
anybody facing the same problem or it's juz me? any solutions?

Need to send the warranty card one ah??? I didn't send, but yet able to get 1 to 1 replacement unit.

Before I went to brightstar, I asked what things do I need to bring (ie, receipt, box, warranty card, etc)... They said no need, the phone will do.

no need to send warranty card and stuff. they just use the sticker and IMEI/serial number which is in their database.

and u r quite lucky.
my recent torch was not accepted for 1-to-1 exchange for SIM card failure.

A forummer here dropped it when I was going to sell it to him and there was a small chip on the top right corner.
so those Brightstar guys need to send it to Singapore to verify whether it still is accepted for warranty.

have to wait for 1.5 months.

No, dat slimeball fatty didn't clean up his mess. I juz return back money to him as an honourable (maybe stupid) person.
Now I am without bberry for a mth & a half.
Also brightstar may decide not 2 provide warranty bcos of de small chip.

Best way is to test it out urslf b4 committing 2 a buy.
U may spend so much time reading specs n reviews, but nothing beats hands on trial.

But u r an iPhone user, and apple has de best touch OS in de business. Not even de android herd can challenge it yet. Maybe windows phone 7. But definitely not bb.
Consider torch on blackberry's strengths, touch is juz bonus.

I live in Kuching where I dont really see BBs. I wish I could, but, I can't find a working torch unit(not demo unit) that has the updated os on it. I only used a bb bold 9780 before (a shopkeeper's phone) and I kinda liked it! Especially the keyboard, it really rocks!

So what do you suggest I get if I was given the choice? The bold or the torch? If the torch were to have a faster processor so the browser isn't that laggy, I might seriously consider buying it and replacing my iPhone.

coming from an iphone-->blackberry-->iphone user, if u like de smoothness of touch and beautiful interface, keep ur iphone.

if u always chat/sms/typing, den the best bb is still de bold series. it's de perfect berry.

I wanna switch over to bb as I am a typaholic (lol). And I heard bb keyboard best in the world, right?

@dicksonbell but the browser on the torch is very laggy... Did the update fix the
Isue to make it less laggy?

1 more questions, so bis is a service that allows you to send emails, make calls and send SMSes?

some ppl say nokia e-series keyboard is better. so dun base ur purchasing decision on juz de keyboard.
the other strengths of bb platform is security, push email (of course) and bbm.

i've owned a torch (until slimeball fatty ruined it sad.gif ) and the browser is no where as smooth as iphone safari.
even zoom in/out pictures is a stuttering process initially.

but if u choose a bb, u have to choose its strengths rather than dwell on de negatives.

imho, de only advantage torch has over de bold series, is de larger screen.

BIS means Blackberry Internet Service. It is used for push emails and internet services.
without it, it is still possible to make calls and send SMS.

but what's de point of using a BB without BIS/BES right? rclxub.gif

Or juz get a cheap curve to try out bb service. If ok, can upgrade better device later, maybe torch 2.
Or if u dun like it, can always sell it back wt minimal loss.

Hi, I'm currently a Galaxy S user. I'm loooking for a new phone with trackpad to replace it.
I'm considering blackberry torch, blackberry bold 9780, and desire Z. I need to reply lots of e-mail, and using web-app.
desire Z is ur best choice bcoz bb os6 browser is laggy and user-unfriendly.

with Torch, Can I select text in browser/e-mail, using only trackpad (without using touch screen)?
yes, u may but why?

Does Torch have any LED indicator on missed call/email/sms? galaxy s has no LED indicator....i've to turn on the screen on to do so........
yes

How's the battery life on Torch with 3g turn on all the way?
depends on how often u talk, sms, email, browse, etc. compare to other touchphones, its average

The gmail takes 15mins-45mins to push the e-mail from other pop3/imap e-mails to my galaxy s. How long does it take for BB to push the e-mail from other e-mail acc?
depends on ur network coverage and provider. for celcom, its instant (same time like desktop).
but iphone is also same.
