I hope people respond publicly to this question. Anne asks
questions that
we all are also interested in.
The only thing we know is that Verizon is the way to go for us
because we
can use the weather information just about everywhere in the
state. If is
is raining where we are at, we look at the radar to see if we can
move a
little ways and get out of the rain and continue birding. This 3G
ability
works nearly everywhere in the state on our Blackberry, which is
4-5 years
old and not the one sold in the stores today. I suspect the newer
ones
would load the weather maps faster and possibly would be easier to
use,
although ours works fine and has saved us many days of wet birding.
We also get MOUnet on our phone and thus keep up with email while
we are out
of town. This ability has gotten us 2 state birds and many county
birds and
year birds in the past 4 years. These were birds that we read
about and we
were not far away from where they were and we had not gotten a
phone call
about them.
We have no apps on our phone otherwise although I also suspect that
we are
missing out on something that we could do for little money. We are
considering upgrading to a newer Blackberry since we could do so
for not
much money. Our only complaint is that Verizon is, we think, a little
expensive on a monthly basis when we include the email ability and
since we
have 2 phones in our house.
