[QUOTE=Big Dumb American;33753152]I love my blackberry. It's perfect for me! The only thing I need my phone for is making calls, texting, and checking emails. Having a full keyboard gives it a huge leg-up on the touchscreen phones. I just can't operate those touchscreen keyboards without botching everything up, whereas I could pound out short essays on my blackberry almost as fast as I could with a regular keyboard, if I so wanted to.
Touchscreen phones are neat and everything, they're just not what I'm looking for in a phone.[/QUOTE]
Pretty much this. I enjoy having tactile feedback, not just hoping that I've pressed the right keys.
It depends on the Blackberry. I had a Blackberry Curve three years ago and it was a serious piece of shit. I had the one with the scroll ball in the center, and it would always get stuck and you would have to take it apart and clean it. The phone was very unreliable for me and would always freeze and I would have to pull the battery out and start it back up (Which, by the way, it had a very long reboot time. If the battery was removed, the red indicator light would stay on for about 30s and then the screen would go white for a minute, then the phone could be turned on) So personally, it left a bad taste in my mouth and I would never return to another Blackberry. But hey, personal experience is nearly everything.
It doesn't have GTA III so yes, it's that bad.
I once had a Blackberry, but I lost it.
They're fine phones, but RIM is just so far behind on the technological end, that the phones just aren't worth it for the price.
Also, I don't understand the BBM rationale. I had BBM for ~two years when I had a curve, and I thought it was equivalent to texting. I mean the only advantage was having the little group chats, but beyond that, texting was more useful.
I had a Blackberry and it was good. I don't see the problem with them.
I don't see how BBM is all that different from texting someone.
[QUOTE=Manta Ray;33767550]I don't see how BBM is all that different from texting someone.[/QUOTE]
i've wondered this as well but all my friends say how its free, despite them having unlimited texts anyway. I never text people anyway, just call em so my iphone is wayy more practical and cheaper.
I've never owned a BB before. But my friend lent me his Bold 9700 when my phone's screen broke and I have to say, it's really nice being able to physically feel the keys you're pressing. Using a touchscreen smartphone can be a pain in the ass when you're trying to type something fast.
But a Blackberry can get boring over time. Especially if you're like me and like to download apps, games etc.
I just thought hating your phone was the new 'thing'
[QUOTE=Manta Ray;33767550]I don't see how BBM is all that different from texting someone.[/QUOTE]
with the old unlimited data plans you could send thousands a day and remain within your plan, but most texting plans only allow you to send a few hundred/thousand depending on how extortionate the provider is.
My dad has a Torch 9800 for work, I had to set it up for him to connect to exchange and stuff. Jesus christ, it's the world's most backward's ass UI in the history of the planet - some stuff only works with the scrollpad, some stuff only works with the touchscreen, everything is in ridiculous places, opening panes on the homescreen works 75% of the time, it's a mess

In terms of asphetics. Definately.
[sp]BB looks like my first lesson in HTML[/sp]
Science. My Blackberry contact list looks nothing like that.
The last 3 blackberries ive seen in real life looked like that.
Can you change the theme.
Why is the selection of smartphones with slide-out keyboard so limited?
I was lucky to get my [URL="http://www.selectgsm.com/images/D/vodafone-htc-desire-z.jpg"]HTC Desire Z[/URL] before the stock of them was so low that the dealers jacked up the price.

Yeah you can change the theme. When was your latest Blackberry? My Blackberry I last year doesn't look like that.
[QUOTE=Bytecry;33770044]Yeah you can change the theme. When was your latest Blackberry? My Blackberry I last year doesn't look like that.[/QUOTE]I never had one. Iphone4 is the way forward.
But my brother has one which i look at occasionally.
From knowing people who own them, they tend to be glitchy, get slow over time, break easily, and various other things. For someone who can afford to replace them and need BBM (See: Businessmen) then they are fantastic.
However, RIM has not been putting out reliable blackberries lately. The only useful thing RIM is doing is doing work into QNX, RIM's real-time operating system, since we haven't seen a real-time operating system in years.
That'll be worth waiting for, even if it sucks like Blackberries.
However, the Blackberry Playbook appears to be of excellent quality so far. RIM may be improving their creations this year!
I've heard [url=https://market.android.com/details?id=kik.android&feature=search_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImtpay5hbmRyb2lkIl0.]kik[/url] is like BBM, except on every device and 10 times better.
A friend I know owns a Torch, and either it's really shite or she's got a bad one, the touchscreen started not picking up touches and generally started acting up. She tried opening the messaging app and it crashed twice, not helping the matter. I'd take a stable OS (Android/iOS) any day over anything RIM makes.
I have a blackberry pearl and i really like it... sure their's a problem here and there but the main complaint i'd have about BB is that the apps are few and far between!
I wouldn't say they are bad phones. From my experience they break quite a lot though. My first Curve 3G died because the track button just stopped working, and the new Curve 3G I have now freezes quite often. And friends I know have had to replace theirs and what not.
I would prefer an iPhone but I'm pretty happy with my BlackBerry, I love the qwerty keyboard and BBMs pretty useful because I can send a lot more messages than I normally would be able to with text messaging. Although that means I'm constantly messaging whenever I get the chance, which gets quite annoying.
HTC desire Z
touch screen + physical keyboard = best of both worlds
My brother's Blackberry is the most unresponsive thing I ever used.
The current phones (with perhaps the exception of the new Bold and torch) are really not all that great. I would hold off getting one until the next batch of phones (with the QNX), if I were planning to get one.
I have one, they're good phones but battery life is fucking shit. Other than that they're brilliant phones if you like a QWERTY keypad. Bbm is also good. Everything is good aslong as you dont mind charging every day or two and aslong as you don't care about cameras.
