The desktop software is indeed very nice and welcome Snazy, but it doesn't update your phone's firmware. Anyhow lets not dwell, I doubt the market for Apple users with personal Blackberrys that care about updates is very large.

 

You update the firmware via the desktop software Jack, so I am assuming you would be able to do the same with the Mac desktop software. So it does in part update your phones firmware
I think there is a suprisingly large MacBerry market out there, hence them writing the software etc. And also on Crackberry there is a large group of Mac users.

 

That is proper random!
I can understand if it was only a couple of months since Android hit the market, but thats a long time now for no other platform to be supported yet.

 

You're right Snazy, I stand corrected. You can update firmware with the Blackberry desktop software for OSX.

 

Cool Its good to learn new things eh

So admit it, you are seriously considering a Blackberry now, right?

 

Umm, no. The only thing I'd appreciate is the volume of the calls, obviously designed for old deaf business men rather than hipsters.

 

lol or a busy, noisy enviroment
Somehow I didnt think you would want one, not quite sure what led me to that though.

 

About a year or so back I updated my firmware on my blackberry and it unlocked it

not sure why, could be because I got the latest firmware from the hong kong site? is it supposed to do that snazy?, might be useful to know for someone...

 

Depends mate, a lot of the non specific firmware upgrades allow for the vendor/carrier software to be removed. Depending who you carrier is and what was in place to lock the phone to the network, the update could well do that.

I have never tried unlocking mine, never had the need to, but am curious now lol

 

It was on tmobile UK, I wanted the latest firmware/software and it was not available on blackberry europe I found it on a link in some forum (crackberry?)

 

so when is the next iPhone spec announced. it has to use this new 1ghz chip and if they're as good as Jack says I may consider one.

I think Apple with have a few tricks up their sleeve that don't feature on that list. But I do hope they use the Multitouch Casing idea.

 

I'm too considering an iphone next and would be interested in the new model as i will be upgrading in may/june.

Interestingly the rumours from Jacks link indicate it might get a better camera, fm radio and video calling

If they did the things like 5MP camera with flash, and the multi-touch casing that could make for a very nice phone. If they could get a 2GHz processor also then even better.

in regards to the camera flash, the nokia n82 has a proper flash, not a silly led, i don't know why phone companies don't use theses flashes more often. The Sony c905 had a similar flash also.

I also believe that, Even though other phone manufacturers have done it in prototypes, i have a feeling apple will release the first ever optical zoom on a phone for the market.

I personally would like to see the software looking different as I'm bored of it

 

It's really interesting, so I created a new thread, place your bets.

Carl Zeiss Vario-Tessar 3x optical zoom = Nokia N93

You must be new to selling phones i guess, the N93 is not even that old ?

 

Aha. We never sold that one, plus i started selling phones in 2007. I do reckognize the phone though and remember it being huge though. It cant have been very good as it didn't stick.

 

Why wont this pesky iPhone of mine allow me to save a ringtone I just created (actually using an Apple FCP) and then e-mailed to my self? I can listen to it, but is there any way to save it and assign as a ring-tone for this person. (Its quite hilarious!)

Why they make simple basic things so hard!

PS still STILL hasn't crashed (and I'm loving that)

 

Not really on topic, but thought I would share this.

>stuck record mode< new aye phone still hasn't crashed

 

Excellent, let me know how you get on with it.
I handled and played with a DEXT for the first time since thinking I wanted one yesterday too.
I still like it, but still unconvinced lol...

Jack whats that about a dude problem ?

 

Snazy, perhaps the graph didn't load for you so I'll explain. 75% of Android buyers are male, this compares to 50% of iPhone users and I suspect Blackberry would be about the same. Android has a Dude problem right now and if they don't sort it out users will never get the Tesco app.

 

lol it loaded fine thx, just didnt get the comment. I get ya now
