(I am in the U.S.) Excuse me if I sound completely ignorant as far as technology goes, but my question is this: do you know if there exists now any phone, such as iphone or blackberry, that can be brought to Italy and will function there?

And thanks for the link. The model I'd like is the Bold, but I think the Curve would be fine too, especially the GPS version. I'm going to wait until TIM lists the Bold as available on contract, if it has not done so already. I'll probably sign up after summer and dump my old Nokia 6680 with its Tre contract in favour of he Bold. Push email will be useful for managing may various web sites. I've replied to your Entrecard message, by the way, and approved your ad, and applied to place my Entrecard on your blog. Cheers, Alex Hi yet again Aniya,

The reason I want a Blackberry is for the push mail, and it's almost real keyboard appeals too, just as the iPhone's virtual screen keyboard does not appeal to me, and I've heard that the iPhone's keyboard loses sensitivity after a time. Not being able to change the iPhone's battery also puts me off the things, even if I could blog to WP using it. Actually, I can blog via email too, so the Blackberry could be used for this if I want to. All the best, Alex Hi again Aniya,

I have the pearl 8100 model, having said that I ordered a trackball from Hong Kong for next to nothing, so if you're thinking about getting one go ahead they are very reliable apart from that and great for push mail...As to the iPhone personally it's better for me as all my computers are macs and WP (I see you have too) have just added an application where you can update, add posts and edit your blog, not bad eh..;-) Yes the trackball is very sensitive and mine stopped working within a year.
