Please let us know how it works, curiousal.I think they will make a rebound.
and ExNYer, you really shouldn't even be thinking about getting a new RIM Blackberry in 2013. The brands almost certain to disappear and be unsupported. Originally Posted by BobbyMann

I can't see the market being just iPhones and Androids. Usually, there are 3 big players in any market - alhough computer operating systems kind of violate that. So maybe not.
I think it will all depend on what kind of apps are available. And it they get all the business apps, then they should remain solid. But the BB10 is definitely a "bet the company" phone. Originally Posted by ExNYer

But, a long press on the ok button, and you can enter a pin# and get into the app. Account settings, provider contacts and session photos are also locked down in a similar manner.I always cringe when I see someone say that. I've had buddies get busted (civilian busted, not hobby busted) who always claimed their SO was clueless about technology. Remember, the SO is a technically proficient as a friend, coworker, relative she confides in. Or for one of my buddy's, the PI she hired. Always safer to assume the SO is technically savvy and somewhat suspicious....then so everything to keep the threat level at Green while operating like it' Red.
If she was technically inclined, I might worry a little, but she's the opposite. Took her two days to figure out how to get her iPhone off of silent. (Little switch on the side)
On Android, GV texts are in their own app, and you can set it to not integrate into any of the phone logs or stock txt message apps. If you don't choose GV when making a phone call, you could call using your normal phone #. Just have to be careful with that. Originally Posted by Dan4424

Each sim will have their own settings, so you can place one sim on airplane mode if needed. You will also need to purchase a micro sim cutter. You can also purchse a dual sim phone from ahappydeal.com. It is best to get regular sized sim cards & cut them down to size vs purchasing already cut microsim cards because they will not sit properly in the tray. (It will make sense when you see them.)
I'm thinking about getting the new BlackBerry when it comes out in Q1 of 2013.
Is it possible to buy a pre-paid, no name SIM card that I can just put into the phone and pay charges by the minute?
Perhaps I can use two SIM cards that I swap in an out?
One SIM card is a legit one with a major carrier that I use for business, including e-mail and browsing.
The other SIM card is the pre-paid, no name one I use for the hobby.
Can the phone be traced independently from the SIM cards? Originally Posted by ExNYer
