So it's time for a new phone. I have just a basic right now, and I want to upgrade. I'll need a little more than a basic with our website up and running and to check orders. I don't think I want a touchscreen keyboard.

We're with T mobile right now, so the pickin's are slim. They do offer bb's, but I don't have a clue which phone to get.

I also can't spend an outrageous amount of money.

Here's their bb phones: 9700, 8520

They also have several other "smartphones".

Please give me some recs. I'm clueless when it comes to new phones. I'd be happy with my daughter's samsung comeback if that's all I need.

I love my Blackberry but it's an email phone. I have the Curve and it's a bit of an older model... I have not messed with the newer phones much like the Storm or Storm 2 and I hear that they are better... but the web browsing on BB's is WEAK.

If you want a phone for web stuff, it's an iPhone or a Droid phone for sure... not sure what your choices are for that with Tmobile though, but I know AT&T is the only place for iPhones...?

Ask Saltman what he thinks of his HTC Incredible on Verizon.

I have a Blackberry Tour, and I love it. The only thing is I wish the screen were larger for when I get SlingBox. That's the only reason I'd ever consider a touch screen.

I think the Bold (9700) is pretty good, I don't know enough about the Curve (8520). But BlackBerry in General is a great, reliable brand. I'd go for that over a brand-x smart phone.

It is, for now. The new webkit browser should be out in the next month or so, and it's suppose to be the dookie. I have a BB and like it alot. The only thing I don't like is the native browser, but they are addressing it. A plus of BB would be BB Messenger, unique to BB's. It's an instant messenger client that does not use your airtime or data plan, and runs directly through the BB servers. You can talk to anyone with a BB around the globe on it. Very cool.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, I love my BB too... and that's mainly because I use it almost solely for email and it's been huge for me to not have to lug around a laptop and to be able to get the push email anywhere, anytime and answer it right there. I do find myself getting more and more into wanting a better browsing experience... and some of the droid apps are pretty damn cool.

Holy hell. My daughter's comeback has email, apps, web browsing, gps. I just got on facebook with it and I know she can get on youtube with it. It has cnn and espn something. Her service is only 10 bucks extra/month.

What's the difference in what she can do and what a bb or the mytouch can do? Like I said, I'm clueless. I didn't even know Casey had all that on her phone. I thought we bought it for texting.

BB are excellent for communicating. True push email and all that jazz. Plus you can get all the facebook and other social site apps if ya want. They lack in media and entertainment. The games available suck and currently the do not support flash. Go to the tmobile store and fondle all the ones they have.

      What if BPA is Will Campbell?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      These numbers do not measure a player's prime. Do these numbers include OL pulled up from the practice squad for a game or two then cut?  Do they include players who might have been injured or cut for reasons other than they were past their primes?  The average career for an NFL lineman is 3.63 years, and that is because there is a lot of turnover--regardless of a player's prime. In fact, if only 55% of Offensive linemen drafted in the first round succeed, then the failure rates of most offensive linemen drafted and undrafted would be much lower, cause them to skew the average age of the OL.  This suggests that most players' retirement from the NFL is not based on their prime, but other factors.  They are cut, released, injured--and that is based on their level of play compared to others, not their levels of play within their personal skill range--something that peaks during your prime. In this case, I was talking about Moton, an elite offensive tackle, one that avoided the factors that shorten careers unrelated to their primes. I identify Moton as the team's best offensive lineman on an impressive OL--that distinguishes the type of player being referenced, so I did not provide a lot of qualifiers--as you didn't with your stats.   In this article below, one that evaluates established Offensive tackles, it states the following, which supports my comment:  "Most elite offensive tackles start to decline at roughly the age of 32 if they haven’t already."  So to say that Moton was at the end of his prime was not a reach or careless speculation.  If a player has the skill to be competitive and they can avoid injuries, their career expectancy is much higher than an average of all offensive lineman on a fluid roster. https://www.milehighreport.com/2017/2/27/14724674/age-wall-for-offensive-tackles-nfl

      Who Has to Be Off the Board to Trade Back?

      If there’s not much difference in moving back a couple spots, finding a good offer might be an issue.

      Im all for defense. I’ll add Will Johnson and remove McMillian. While I’d rather have DL, two strong corners will allow for more safety help in the box, so it’s still a win for the run game.
