I got the E71 because I couldn't be bothered to wait for the Blackberry (or other things that are coming out) but I did want a "real keyboard" and the ability to use it as a modem.
Only had it since Friday but it seems fine so far. -
Allegedly, the Blackberry Bold has been released, but is currently only available on Orange (according to Carphone Warehouse's website) and they are accepting pre-orders. I'm holding out for it to become available on T-Mobile.Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostI got the E71 because I couldn't be bothered to wait for the Blackberry (or other things that are coming out) but I did want a "real keyboard" and the ability to use it as a modem.

"order" now means "buy", as in the process where, with 1 click, Amazon convert your bank balance into something smaller and their estimated delivery time into something larger.Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostAs an aside, what tool-face invented "pre-order" - it's what we perfectly hapilly called "order" for years!Comment

It's kinda saying... what kinda tool invented prehistoric. What can possibly precede history? I know what you are getting at, but am wondering what better word / phrase could replace pre-order that could refer to an placing an order before you get charged?Originally posted by Peoplesoft bloke View PostAs an aside, what tool-face invented "pre-order" - it's what we perfectly hapilly called "order" for years!If your company is the best place to work in, for a mere £500 p/d, you can advertise here.Comment
