Choice between 8520 and 9300

Hi, I'm in a bit of a dilemma, I would like to buy a BB but dont know which model to take, either the 9300 or the 8520. I have read through the differences between the 2 handsets and more or less the 9300 is better on paper.
The provider is offering me the BB 9300 for 190 pounds (I'm just converting this into pounds) MORE than the 8520.
My question is that,  is the 9300 a 190 pounds more better than the 8520?
Thank you

Hi and welcome
Good thinking to check first. Thanks for converting into £ but this is multi-national so no need. Now as you have done I will explain about here in the UK.
I'm guessing you are in the US and it seems to me you guys pay a fortune for devices and still have to buy carrier time.
In the UK, at present, if you sign up for an 18 month carrier contract which will cost around £10 per month inc 500Mb data you get the 8520 FREE, nada, zip. And you get 12 months carrier warranty on the device as well. Maybe there are similar deals around you?
The 8520 does not have GPS functionality and this makes it cumbersome for applications that rely on location settings such as FB Places and many others.
The 8520 is unlikely to receive the latest software  - OS 6 due to limitations of the memory/processor. OS 6 is available for the 9300 and will probably come pre-loaded. There's nothing wrong with OS 5 but it cannot be upgraded on the 8520.
Whichever you choose, make sure you have a data plan; without data you seriously limit the functionality of any BB and don't worry about extra data costs unless you have no Wi-Fi at home and want to be downloading music/video constantly. Last month, I used 2.6Mb of my 500Mb allowance.
Good luck and hope to see you on here regularly.

  • Making choice between socket and RMI

    I never use RMI, but i am familiar to socket programming. i want to write an online game, I know that use RMI will easy than use socket, could anyone tell me what factors will affect the choice between using socket and RMI if don't consider which one i am familiar ?
    thanks
    jacky

    I would consider the amount of traffic your online game is going to be generating. Obviously, if the traffic is the bottleneck, you will want to optimize it as much as possible.
    I can see that if you are familiar with sockets and socket programming, where this is very appealing because after all, you can't get much faster than raw sockets. Also, the Java APIs around sockets are much easier than the equivalent BSD Socket C/C++ libraries.
    Still, RMI has much more to offer.
    o It is relatively easy to set up a connection
    o exceptions will be thrown when problems occur
    o serializing classes is so easy it's laughable
    o If performance becomes an issue, you can (as the previous poster suggests) create your own custom socket factory which optimizes the used bandwidth. Options here include compression if you have the CPU cycles to spare.
    o There are mechanisms in place for working RMI over firewalls
    Many of the things that RMI offers, you might find yourself re-writing in your own socket-based API. Personally, I would choose RMI.

  • OS should allow choice between "deep" and "light" sleep (battery life)

    It's clear that Apple needs to fix the OS for the ipod touch so that the user can choose between one of two sleep modes. A "deep" sleep mode would be similar to sleep in pre- OS 4.1: WIFI would be automatically turned off to preserve battery. A "light" sleep mode would be similar to the sleep mode in the current OS 4.1 and would not shut WIFI off (but thereby quickly draining the battery).

    you might want to let Apple know via _*iPod Touch Feedback*_.

  • Choice between T540p and T440p

    Hello all,
    I am new in this forum, so I am very excited to start.
    I am planning to buy either the T440p or T540p and I need to consult with you guys in order to make a good choice
    My needs are for a lightweight business laptop which features very good display/keyboard, has a very good battery performence and has a good three years international guarenty. Also, the price matters to me very much.
    Unfortunately, the the T440p is not offered with such warenty - only 1 year, and no IPS displat. However, other specs are what I need. The T540p has the 3 year warenty but is much havier and its batery will not last as the T440p.
    When I looked at the Lenovo site the picture becomes more complecated. The T440p is much more expensive compared to the T540p - more than $1,000 compared to $649, with more or less the same specs.
    So what should I do? I would pay the extra money for the T440p if it had the same warenty, but it is not available in Lenovo website. Just imagining carrying a 5.5lbs piece of mettal compared to the 4.7lbs' T440p (which is not a feather by itself) gives me an instant backpain...
    Thanks again,
    Uzi

    I'm not sure if either the T440p or the T540p is really considered lightweight. Maybe the T440s? Or X240s?

  • Choice Between IDOC and ABAP Proxy

    Hello All,
    We are building a Bi Directional Interface for Business partners between a third Party ERP, XI and SAP CRM.
    We are looking for some advise on the best way to go forward between the two options below:
    a) Do an ABAP Proxy Call on Fn Module CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE  from XI
    b) Create and IDOC in CRM
       ( Message Type CRMXIF_PARTNER_SAVE_M )
    Not being an XI consultant, my understanding is as follows
    Option A  : Gives me the flexibility to format my response in the manner we like. But this is a synchronous call. Also this is a generated RFC. So changes in the XIF layer of CRM could be an issue.
    Option B : Response can be achieved only through the ALE Audit Functionality, which has a predefined message structure. For Eg: If I wanted to send the response in the same format as the incoming message with an added segment for the error, this is not possible. Ofcourse, I get all the functionalities of monitoring and Handling IDOCs in this option.
    Any thoughts on the advantages and disadvantages of each option would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks
    Anoop

    Anoop,
    I probably should have mentioned in the BLOG, that IDOC is good if its a standard IDOC, so that you don't have under go the pain doing the modifications for the custom one.
    In your case, PROXY might make more sense as you are saying that you have to do some custom processing as well. So, you can call the BAPI / Function for the standard processing and then do the custom processing in your Proxy code. And more over, if you have want to have a Synch interface, then you cannot use IDOC.
    So, the options in this case boil down to PROXY / RFC.
    PROXY will definitely have the advantage as its going to bypass the adapter engine and directly interact with the Integration server. And moreover, even if you already have a RFC, you can always call that inside your PROXY. However, the only flip side here compared to IDOC, is that you will have to create all your IR objects manually.
    Hope this helps you in making your decision.
    regards,
    Ravi

  • Design choice between ArrayList and LinkedList

    Can someone clarify me which is better suited (efficient) for use?
    It appears to me that both can be used very much interchangeably at least from functionality point of view. :(

    Using the following code (and I'm sure someone will come nitpicking about it) I get the (expected, at least by me from prior experience) result that iteration over a LinkedList is about twice as fast as iteration over an ArrayList, but lookup operations on an ArrayList are substantially faster:
    package jtw.test;
    import java.util.*;
    public class SpeedTest {
        public static void main(String... args) throws Exception {
            List<Integer> linked = new LinkedList<Integer>();
            List<Integer> arr = new ArrayList<Integer>();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                linked.add(i);
                arr.add(i);
            long r = 0;
            Date startLinked = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (Integer q: linked) {
                     r += q;
            Date stopLinked = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            r = 0;
            Date startArr = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (Integer q: arr) {
                     r += q;
            Date stopArr = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            System.out.println("LinkedList iteration: " + startLinked + " to " + stopLinked + " took " + (stopLinked.getTime() - startLinked.getTime()));
            System.out.println(" ArrayList iteration: " + startArr + " to " + stopArr + " took " + (stopArr.getTime() - startArr.getTime()));
             r = 0;
            startLinked = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (int j = 999; j >= 0; j--) {
                     r += linked.get(j);
            stopLinked = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            r = 0;
            startArr = new Date();
            for (int i = 0; i < 1e3; i++) {
                for (int j = 999; j >= 0; j--) {
                     r += arr.get(j);
            stopArr = new Date();
            System.out.println("Total: " + r);
            System.out.println("LinkedList lookup: " + startLinked + " to " + stopLinked + " took " + (stopLinked.getTime() - startLinked.getTime()));
            System.out.println(" ArrayList lookup: " + startArr + " to " + stopArr + " took " + (stopArr.getTime() - startArr.getTime()));
    }Gets the result:

  • Choice between VISA and GPIB drivers

    I have a waveform generator with a GPIB port. I would like to build my own VIs. Can someone suggest which driver (VISA or GPIB or IVI) would be preferable and what are the differences in terms of ease among these drivers?

    Hello Craig,
    I have an Agilent 33220A frequency generator for which I have already found drivers from the Instrument Driver Network. I am a beginner in LABVIEW and am in the process of improving my skills in communicating with instruments. So far, I have been communicating with other instruments using VISA and a serial port.
    While going through LABVIEW HELP, I realized that VISA, GPIB and IVI drivers can be used for communicating with a GPIB instrument port. This being the case, I would like to know which of the above-mentioned drivers is preferable?
    Thanks

  • Choice between xquery and parsing methods

    I want to read from an xml source file. I have been working with parse techniques (JAXP )and Marshal/Unmarshal techniques(JAXB).
    Recently i came to know that we can query an xml document using xquery and
    xpath methods.
    Is the second method advantageous than the first one in terms of time and memory constraints ?

    Yes, xquery and xpath are always easy to work than parsing on your own.
    It provides already written methods for u, which u need not to write on your own to fetch the data.
    Hope this will help u.

  • Choice between JSP and Servlet

    I am new to JSP and Servlet. I know JSP container will convert JSP to servlet
    eventually. But in application development's standpoint, anything can be
    done in servlet can also be done in JSP? Some people told me we can
    use the combination of both in one application.
    My question is in what situation we use JSP alone, servlet alone, or
    combination of both??
    Please advise. Thanks!!

    Use a combination of both.
    Your Web application should have a single servlet that all HTTP requests are POSTed to. All the servlet does is act like a traffic cop: it figures out what the request is, delegates to other objects that do the work, and forward the result to the next JSP, whatever that is. It's called a front controller servlet.
    The JSPs should just be pure dynamic presentation. Everything displayed in the pages should have been generated by the servlet and its helper classes. No database queries, etc. Your JSPs will be a lot better off if you learn JSTL and eliminate all scriptlet code.
    Check out frameworks like Struts.

  • Difference between ERROR_LOGGING and SAVED EXCEPTION

    >
    As already mentioned one is SQL the other is PL/SQL.
    So the first decision to make is whether you need PL/SQL to do what you are doing. Use SQL whenever possible.
    If you are using SQL then you can't use SAVE EXCEPTIONS so the choice between that and LOG ERRORS is made for you.
    There are some major difference between the two:
    1. SAVE EXCEPTIONS will work for all datatypes whereas the use of a log table has restrictions.
    2. SAVE EXCEPTIONS will not provide ANY indication (other than the error code) of which column(s) caused the exception. A log table can be used to check for problems in a user-specified list of columns
    3. SAVE EXCEPTIONS will not providing the offending value whereas a log table will log the offending value so you can examine it.
    4. SAVE EXCEPTIONS will not save any of the offending data you must save it yourself if you want it. The log table will save all of the offending data but you must then manage/delete it yourself.
    5. SAVE EXCEPTIONS will trap ALL errors whereas dml logging will not.
    See 'Error Logging Restrictions and Caveats' in the DBA guide
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28310/tables004.htm
    >
    Some errors are not logged, and cause the DML operation to terminate and roll back. For a list of these errors and for other DML logging restrictions, see the discussion of the error_logging_clause in the INSERT section of Oracle Database SQL Language Reference.
    >
    And see Restrictions on DML Error Logging in the SQL doc
    http://docs.oracle.com/cd/B28359_01/server.111/b28286/statements_9014.htm#SQLRF01604
    One use of logging tables is in ETL and data cleansing processes. For example incoming data might be 'dirty': values out of range (i.e. CHECK contraint violations), null data when it must be NOT NULL and the like. If a log table is used this data can be filtered out and saved in the log table where it can be examined and/or fixed.
    If I have 5 columns that might be 'dirty' an error in ANY of the five can cause all five values to be recorded in the log table. Only one of the values actually CAUSED the error (the exception is raised as soon as there is an error) but the other four values will be recorded. Then when I examine the log table I check all five values to determine which ones are 'dirty'. I can then take appropriate action.
    If I were using SAVE EXCEPTIONS I would need to have code that identifies and saves the original source data so I can examine it later.

  • Choice between UPK in-application help and standard EBS help

    Hi,
    We are on a EBS 11.5.10 project, implementing UPK.
    We got UPK in-application help working; changed custom.pll, set the profile option, everything fine.
    Now we would like the users to have the choice between UPK help (default) and standard EBS help.
    Therefore we opened the In-Application Support Player Configuration, and created a new Tab:
    Type: Oracle E-Business Suite help
    Tab Text: EBS help
    URL: ?
    Whatever we put in the URL, it won’t display the standard EBS context sensitive help. We can see the ‘EBS help’ tab when selecting ‘window help’ in the application but the page is blank or shows an error message.
    Do you have any tips on how to get this working?

  • Dependencies between LOVs and user choices

    Hi guys,
    Maybe the team come help - I haven't really found any comments about similar situations such as this.
    I have a scenario where I need to have 2 or 3 Lovs on the screen (Web based). Let's Call them Districts Towns Streets.
    The user is supposed to choose a District
    then choose a Town (the choice of Towns has to be constrained by his choice of Distict)
    and last choose a Street (the choice of Streets has to be constrained by his choice of Town - and implicitly by the District)
    Data is too much to hold all in Javascript - and assume that I would like to avoid submission of the form until the very end.
    At the moment I am trying to extend the LOVField that by overwriting the function that builds the Javascript for the field and will try to pass parameters in there through javascript (upon change of contents) so that the lovcomp.jsp will then construct its View object by picking those values. or something along those lines
    But I think the best solution might to find a way to change the currency of the view object that gets used in the lovcomp if possible and then see if the framework will take care of the rest
    Any help would be appreciated
    Panos.

    i have the same requirement ,too.
    there are one lov and one textinput in my uix page.when i pick the lov,i want the data in the lov window is based a condition constructed according to the textinput content.
