talk and bbm at the same time?

kermalou · #1 11-20-2008 -

I know with my Verizon 8830 I can't talk and use bbm at the same time. Are there any bb's where you could talk and use bbm at the same time?

I believe the Bold is the only BlackBerry to do that at this time, probably the Storm too. But I know all current models that is a no go.

nick is correct. Only the 3G capable BBs are the only ones that can do this. Since EDGE data and voice are over the same channel.

Thanks for backing me up on that one! Wasn't quite sure, but I was pretty sure ha.

While it's true you can talk & use BlackBerry messenger at the same time, that's only half of what any right minded smartphone user would do. Personally I would be driving, taking on the phone while messaging & eating my lunch. See, now you know what a true BlackBerry addict would do...

Oh, and I forgot the fifth thing I would be doing. I'd be signing the reckless driving ticket while pulled over to the side of the road by officer Bob...heh!

That's different though, as you are using two separate channels. So its not the same & cannot be compared.

Now that's what I call multi-tasking Archer

If you have 3G coverage at the time of the attempt.

Damn 3G is pretty sweet!

Okay, then the Bold is the only phone where you can bbm and talk on the phone at the same time... that's weird though.

The Storm is on CDMA probably using the EvDO network

As I stated many times before, I will not get another device that is not 3G because I got so use to this feature. I am constantly talking and sending email to the person I am talking to.

So unless the Javelin releases a 3G version, I am not interested.

kermalou · #15 12-02-2008 -

The weird thing is that in ads aren't they advertising the storm as 3G?~via BB (wap.pinstack.com)~
