A little experience with a Blackberry 8820

I have help to configure a BlackBerry 8820 recently. I take this opportunity to deliver some of my impressions and some tips.

The Blackberry is a nice size (much thinner than its predecessor): it is a bit wider and thicker than the iPhone but a bit smaller. Its finish is neat but its plastic appearance gives an impression a little toc next to an iPhone.

The BlackBerry browser is fast despite the GPRS (on the SFR network, lack of 3G is disadvantageous). Unfortunately, his speed is due to the weakness of its features: it does not seem to handle JavaScript, it displays the images one after another. In practice to really share a site dedicated, its use is not at all friendly (especially for an iPhone user). The flash is not available (like the iPhone).

To be able to type any address, you must type Y, it will display the input area of the URL.

The Blackberry has a GPS but I could try that procedure and it did not work. I note that it must be enabled and disabled: This should help limit energy consumption.

Officially it supports WiFi: I have not seen the menu for this option and the WiFi was not working.

Its keyboard is very nice indeed : More than the touch screen of the iPhone.

Using the calendar is very pleasant and efficient for finding a contact. The information display is still penalized by the size of the screen: it limits the fun side but does not hinder its effectiveness.

Recovery SIM card contacts

Blackberry (unlike the iPhone) to retrieve the contacts from the SIM card. One has the impression that the configuration software retrieves contacts but this is not the case.

To do so, he must start from the main menu (use the back arrow or the phone red). We choose the Address Book application. By pressing the Menu button, it brings up a menu. Choose Directory menu SIM card : the list of SIM card number appears (It starts with service numbers).

By pressing the Menu , was a menu that allows you to call but also Adding menu. Address Book or Copy everything in the address book . The first concern should contact one another all the personal contacts of the SIM card.

To copy its numbers in the SIM card, select Menu Copy everything in the address book (note that this menu only appears if you are on a personal number). It takes a little time. Once finished, use the back arrow to return to the list of contacts. It has been updated.
