If mobile internet is your lookout then PocketPC is a good choice. I have used EDGE enabled PocketPC for internet, but didn't experience frequent hanging. Accessing e-mail is quite easy. But internet explorer on a PPC doesn't allow applets to open. So, mobile banking is a problem. I don't have any idea on Blackberry service, anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mobile banking without fullfledged java aplet supoport and without proper browser ID, it is not possible. I tried a lot wth IE on PPC 6700, Opera Mini and also on my palm. Most banking sites requires IE6 and aboe or netscape 5 and above. In PPC if you change your browser ID then I could go upto log on screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Excuse me folks...i still havent got d answer for my questions... Browsing/Emailing works only with a BB Plan being activated.. BB Rental 249 Headers are free (Which gives details of the email and few lines of the body i.e. the 2 kb part of a 10kb mail comes free) Further downloads @ 50p/kb (Very expensive for further downloads and Browsing) Ideal for a person who usually carries a laptop or is happy being informed about the mail he was waiting for.. BB Unlimited 1099 Everything from unlimited emails and Browsing - no limit, no hidden charges. I think it's surprisingly charged higher than Airtel's 899/- due to better internet/download speed. Regards, ACS Sorry, i more thing, theres a diff between browsing on the BB and connecting the BB to the Laptop/PC via Data cable making the BB work only as a Modem.. Those plans are again diff and charged extra.. Which means you pay Existing rental + BB Plan Rental + Netconnect Rental ! Edited April 1, 2008 by ACS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sougatadc 358 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 Does a Blackberry allow 'full' access of internet including opening of applets? Sans applets it is not possible to do mobile banking or train/flight ticket booking. Only surfing and file downloading aren't sufficient. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ACS 130 Report post Posted April 2, 2008 But what about security threats like Virus/trojan attacks in Windows based Handsets.. I heard that although there being certain operational limitations, BB's cannot be touched by virus'. It now totally depends on the extent of the phone usage..

prawin 2 Report post Posted April 22, 2008 blackberry devices are rock solid . performs the job of email very well. i will get message first on blackberry(push email ) then on the outlook or email client. and battery lasts really long . rough n tough device . browsing will be slow even in EVDO here in US. i have installed company mail , yahoo , gmail accounts and skype , yahoo messenger ,gtalk on my BB 8703e . i am working as oracle dba , without blackberry my work is impossible and i will be inaccessible to clients in weekends . i have tried windows mobile phones which are version 5 , they are slow , strucks sometimes , have to reboot sometimes . if like your workdone go for blackberry . or if you like it as a fancy device go for windows mobile phones .
