According to NewTeeVee, RIM may be launching a new service that will allow BlackBerry owners to download TV episodes to their handsets. The service, possibly announced as soon as next week at CTIA, would require a monthly subscription fee and would provide unlimited downloads from a catalog of TV episodes licensed from several broadcast and cable companies. Once an episode is selected, the video content will supposedly be downloaded via Wi-Fi to the handset and stored locally for viewing on the go. Since the service uses Wi-Fi and not the cellular signal to download content, all Verizon Wireless and most Sprint Blackberry owners need not apply. Crazy…

    You are such a condescending jerk, I’m referencing CDMA as a whole, in the states and abroad. Is it not enough that I agree with about WiFi, do you have to be so disrespectful while discounting any, mostly mine, differing opinion.

    respect is not a zero-sum game. you and you alone turned this into a sprint vs the rest of the world-thread. http://www.bgr.com/2009/03/26/rim-to-offer-online-video-service-for-blackberry-handsets/comment-page-1/#comment-434014

    please … by all means … troll on since this thread has –nothing– to do with cdma. clearer now, donvinnie? :)

    There you go insisting all my post are related to Sprint, take it none of your many carrier are CDMA or is that none of the boards biz because you are always in mine. There are plenty of things stated by you that I disagree with but I don’t make it a purpose to follow your every post with some off topic bull and an insult. Grow up man/woman/troll

  • backbeat

    If this one example of your guilt serves as an example of how you troll your Sprint-pimping … So be it.

    Truth’s a bitch. Buddy.

    Buddy, I mentioned Sprint only because they have a WiFi Curve. What I’m concerned with is that they cut out a market that’s ripe for plucking, this shouldn’t concern you anyway since you don’t use your phone for entertainment so piss off

    ^Since you’ve married yourself to a system which cannot avail itself of the service this thread is about … After you. :)

    Buddy.

    Good job RIM, when you wake up and count the majority of U.S. it’ll be better day
