Blackberry
Hi there
Don't know if I should be posting this here, but please tell me if it's the wrong place. Do any of you know much about Blackberrys? I have just got one here in the UK and thought it would be very useful when in Italy - I could see all my emails straight away and wouldn't have to keep connecting (or trying!) to connect via the laptop. However I was told before buying it that I could transfer stuff from the phone onto the laptop without connecting to the internet. What I need to be able to do is somehow get an attachment to an email (in excel) onto the laptop where I can work on it, and print it out. Now it appears that this can't be done. Anyone know if that is correct?
I also have an Italian vodafone voice/data sim card which I use to connect to the internet, via a vodafone mobile connect card, and I wondered if I could use this sim card in the Blackberry when in Italy. The UK sim is also Vodafone, and the techie guy I spoke to here in the UK said I should be able to do it, but the Blackberry would have to "associate" the number. At present it "associates" with the UK sim number. He assured me that it wasn't "locked" to just that number, but I have no idea how I could go about changing it. Any ideas?
One final question - I have an internet cafe a few meters from my apartment in Italy, where I sometimes go if I can't get connected via the laptop. Do you think it would be possible to go to the cafe with my laptop and connect via wireless to the internet and work on the laptop instead of their computers? Do people do this sort of thing? I wouldn't mind paying more than the usual charge as it would be so convenient.
Thanks in advance to anyone who might help.
Linda
