BlackBerry SSH [was: Campus cops treat Ubuntu use as sign of criminality ]



I have a Blackberry Curve through AT&T Wireless.
The unit has GPS and uses GSM and Edge (too old for G3).
The telenav service is $10.00/Mo if you want GPS route guidance, but=20
Google Maps work fine. BTW: It positions you at the nearest cell tower=20
until it gets a good GPS triangulation.
I got the unit just before my train trip to San Diego, and it was fun=20
watching the map change. For the most part, the phone portion is just as =

good as my previous phones. I also use a BT earplug as well as in my=20
car. I use the web from my phone frequently. Last Sunday at the Galley=20
Diner, Bill (owners father) was miffed that the Sox scores did not make=20
the morning paper, so I immediately went to redsox.com and got it for=20
him. The camera takes decent pictures for a cellphone.

Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, and T-Mobile are all evil :-)
I use AT&T (Cingular) because it works at my home (outside) where my=20
neighbor's Verizon got no signal.
