1) yes. just create a backup from your 9000 and when you get your 9700, make sure you restore that backup to it. backup files have the same file extension so you can perform any backup from any berry and restore it to another.

2) yes.

3) its possible to use blackberry data on an iphone, but not the other way around. the blackberry uses BIS, which is like a connection protocol that RIM uses. without the blackberry data, you can't really use any of the functions that make a blackberry a blackberry.

hope this helps.

Wait, shouldn't the seller call ROGERS instead of BELL to release the pin since he's using it already on a rogers network? Which means the pin is registered within the rogers network not bell.

Also someone previously mentioned u can use iphone data on a blackberry, u just have to call into tech support and tell them to add something to the account.

you're right about calling Rogers yes, I missed that part.

about the iphone data on a blackberry, it depends on whether you deal with a nice customer service rep or not. that's why they have data plans for blackberries and iphones separate, because you are essentially signing up for something slighly different. I haven't had any experience with this but if you wanna try this out, keep calling until someone does it for you.

but straight out of an iphone, you can't use data on a blackberry. that's what I meant.

Thx for the responses guys I totally forgot I asked those questions.
I was gonna buy a mint 9700 unlocked from bell for $420 but that night my bank account fucked up and I couldnt withdraw ANY money..
So the dude ended up selling it the next day FML

Is normal for Google Maps to be so off by like 2 blocks or more sometimes?? My BB maps and Poynt can't even find my GPS location.

bb gps sucks...not google map problem.

I've noticed that its different in each area

Richmond it worked fine

and in downtown van its off by 2-3 blocks

you dont need to switch or add anything for an iphone to work with a bb data plan, its only the bb that needs that done.

+1. Tried it with my 3GS iPhone using my BB SIM. However, you might want to keep an eye out on your data usage (if you don't have unlimited data) since the iPhone seems to be pretty heavy on the data compared to the BB.

Upgraded to the .536 OS. They got rid of the standby button and changed the Lock button which basically turns off the screen and locks the keyboard now. Saves battery I guess. I heard the browser was a bit faster but I haven't tested it I usually use the Opera browser.

In the mist of upgrading.

Is this phone available through fido?

so how is it?

the default blackberry browser is definitely better!! wow i love this phone again!
