I used to be very ambivalent about BB devices, until I spent some time recently using a BlackBerry 9900.
I'd read about the BlackBerry OS being behind the times, and outdated, but as I used the 9900, I just wasn't seeing it. The touchscreen looks and works extremely well, the OS is smooth and responsive, and looks great too. And the web browser rendered every mobile site I loaded perfectly.
I know it is popular to cast BB devices as horribly outdated, but after using the 9900, I found myself seriously considering purchasing one and selling my iPhone 4. I love my iPhone, but the BlackBerry really impressed me.
This is anecdotal, I know...but perhaps we're all writing RIM off too soon?
- ahelwer 15y agoI agree. There is a substantial bandwagoning effect going on. Still, I wouldn't deny that problems exist.
- fabiandesimone 15y agoI'm on the same boat. I feel the new 9900 is a great device. BBM is a great service and managing email on a BB is fantastic. I'm seriously considering getting one (again. I'm on an Iphone4 now) as I see the Blackberry as a productivity tool and my Iphone as an entertaiment center (I'm actually considering dropping the Iphone for an Android, but that's another story)
