I bet all of them were Win Mobile devices. I don’t blame anyone for not wanting todeal with that crap.

This doesn’t have to do with the topic, but is it normal to have a 10-20 minute delay in receiving messages on my Blackberry from when they were actually sent? Is it a Blackberry problem, service provider, or a setting on my phone? Thanks.

@ Mickey

Are you using BIS or BES? BIS, yes, it’s possible but really shouldn’t take 10 minutes. Maybe 5 at most that I’ve seen. Provider has something to do with it to…that being outside of the phone provider.

As for the returns, yeah…I’m with argonnj. Most likely they were either Windows or Palm based OS smartphones. I’ve been there and done that…which is why I now use a BB. I remember when the first Windows Treo came out via Verizon and I jumped all over it…after 6 months I dumped the phone and the plan. Couldn’t handle the heavy work load and kept crashing. Thank you BB…now I can fly on my device without worry.

I have it set up with my Verizon.net e-mail…nothing corporate.

It should take no longer than 5 minutes in my experience. Yahoo runs a push service with BB that gets the email to you immediately, just like BES. I’d recommend getting a yahoo account and using it. Works great. You may have to pay for the pop service though. I believe it’s 19.99 a year with them. I do it because I use it with outlook as well.

My Verizon.net e-mail is for my company, so I can’t switch (which I also use with Outlook). I guess I’ll just have to deal with the delay on some e-mails…Thanks for the help

It sure is Robb! It’s tough to find of thread on RIMarkable where the iPhone has not been brought up. Did you visit Danica over at Go Daddy to register http://www.iPHONEarkable.com yet?

I’d prefer reading in my native language, because my knowledge of your languange is no so well. But it was interesting! Look for some my links:
