Dear Guys and Gals,
I am using Blackberry at the moment and wanting to find out the followings:
1) since i rely or use email function a lot, both overseas and local, would iphone 4 be a suitable device to change to?
2) the data size per email, is both blackberry and iphone 4, the same?
3) i had used the iphone 4 for a week in Germany to check emails only and was charged close to RM950 for about 4 days only .. that is why i am wondering the downloaded data or email size ..
looking forward for some replies and thank you all.
1) no... sorry to say that sometimes push function for email on iphone apparently quite slow and not as fast as BB, but since i dont rely much on the email so its not such a problem... but most of the time i will get real time emails (usually from facebook notification) i guess it depends on how good the connection in that area as well...
about the local or overseas.... well it depends too... if ure going to australia (for eg) its simple because u can just buy micro sim card from optus (for eg also) and they have micro sim too just for iphone...
2) im not sure what ure trying to say here but ive received 4mb email without problems..... so im not sure how BB can take per-email thou
3) so meaning u roaming and u use data? well that's why it's sky high.... the data download is like this;
i. when u receive an email around 2mb... iphone will received it as 2mb
ii. when there is some notification on ur Facebook (for eg) it will use data
so u see, iphone solely depended on the data so u need to be careful when roaming and checking emails...
i guess for a peace of mind... change to the country's local telco to avoid frustration and money wasting...
hope this helps
