BB Blues…

March 18, 2009 by Charlie

Nothing like being on vacation in a remote area of Texas to remind me of the woeful cellular coverage of my Blackberry 8800 (AT&T;). Actually, it’s more of a reminder of my addiction to technology, but that’s another matter altogether.

Back to my original point. My wife’s freebie cellular phone consistently puts my BB to shame, getting 3-4 more strength-of-signal bars, even at home. I’d be curious if anyone has found a work-around or fix (to my coverage problem, not my addiction). I wonder if the new BB Bold performs better? Surgical implantation of rabbit ears?

Comments welcome as usual.
