This is a stupid question, but hey, I've seen worse on this forum.
What model BB (blackberry) is being given out at your bank? Anyone still stuck with those really crummy old ones like the 7250?

This is bank specific, but for me, you buy your own model (whichever one you want), and are reimbursed for the plan and the berry.
Blackberry Bold, we got to pick whatever we wanted but they had to active and program it with their software...
how do the banks get their spyware on your bb's if you buy your own? do you buy it and then hand it over to IT?
yes they have to activate it (read: add a bunch of restrictions) via their enterprise server.
i have the 9700
Does it have to be a BB? can you opt for a iphone instead?
what are ur fav BB models?
great question jimsimmons! i'm interested to know which bb model is the best.
8330!!!
9700... Love the non-trackball
iphone is much better at opening PDF's, Excel, Web etc.
I don't want an iphone and our enterprise server will not support them anyway
Do incoming analysts at hedge funds and prop shops also get BBs?
I like the new curve, its a bit smaller then the other BBs...i couldnt get the hang of the iphone
Question for those who got a blackberry for work:
Did you keep your personal cell phone when you bought your blackberry?
yes, because i don't want whoever's monitoring my phone activity to be able to read my personal texts...have the bold 9700
good point.... i definitely don't want them monitoring my personal stuff.
Do your coworkers keep a personal phone as well???
8800
any need for a second personal phone if i only make calls on my personal? i don't text or email and they don't record calls so seems like privacy isn't a big deal.
May depend on the firm, but most likely not. Actually, S&T interns might not get blackberrys at all. If you do, you'll probably be assigned a work blackberry that you carry just for the summer.
A lot of banks record phone calls nowadays
bold. And I keep my personal cell because a) privacy and b) most cool functionality is disabled on work bb
have you tried Blackberry balance?
