Default Purchased 8703e and now my first post!

Please Login to Remove!

Hello,

I now understand why so many people are so passionate about blackberrys. I just purchased my first one last week and I admit it, I'm hooked. (My name is Sam and I'm addicted, lol). I spent some time looking through a lot of older postings and came to the realization that I really need to learn a lot. So this newbie sends out greetings to those who have already seen the light. I plan on visiting this site often as there obviously are some real experts here.

So here are my first couple of questions.

I tried using the speakerphone on my 8703e in my car yesterday and it's not easy to hear. Is there anything I can do about this? (fyi, If there is, I would really need specific instructions, see newbie status as stated above, lol). I also purchased a car mount from the verizon store and I don't really like it for two reasons. One, I hit a bump and my blackberry fell out. Two, it's too big and blocks out a portion of the back speaker making it even more difficult to use the speakerphone. I wanted to see if anyone has any opinions on another mount. The Seidio G4100S Car Kit for the 8700 looks interesting.

Thank you.
Sam

Hi and welocme to the forums!

Have you check the volume level of the speaker phone when it's activated??

Many people are happy with the Seidio stuff....

Welcome and enjoy that 8700

Low speakerphone volume is an issue with the 8703e. It may be improved when the new OS 4.2 comes out.

How well you speaker phone works is directly related to how noisy it is in your car.

I think you will find this site to be the encylopedia for BB's... If the question has not been answered yet then there are plenty of people who know their stuff and are always happy to help out!
