Don't worry peeps, the next craze will be the IPAD. Infact I'm already warming up to get one. Blackberry for browsing will be thing of history!

Have you gotten the aristos in school to like them? I think they and their sugar daddies determine the latest fad. . .Who disagrees?

You cant use it on the road, train or Car because its too big
Just in ur own home & if the owner doesnt have wireless connection at home then dont bother

^^^U went off along d line but its cool n hilarious if i must add. . .
U mentioned GPS n u check d weather n stuff. .we dnt use dose down here,its part of wat we're sayin its only bb messenger,email of which a small percentage use deir company email amongst others dat people use. .

I thot so too Olisa. I see everyone is quoting you btw. Nice

Olisa is my favorite boy name; my son is called that, only adjusted for my dialect.

Per BB Craze; the good book says there's nothing new under the sun. Things will come and go. I say if it works for you go  for it. I started with the Sony Ericsson PDA's like 8yrs ago per work, and I used to have freezes all the time.

Although being female I must admit that I like to have nice phones. About 4 years ago I bought the Gold Edition Dolce and Gabbana RAZR just for the heck of it, and boy people really liked it anytime I brought it out.

There are people that need it, dats d truth. People that nid 2 knw wat d stocks look like nd to get official/business emails on the go. Not for people dat use it for checking facebook status and chattin with whoever. If u so like chattin nimbuzz on any normal fone does dat perfectly.

I agree fully - especially since you can send voice notes and chat with people from anywhere without any additional cost.

BB messenger can be a pain though - beeping at odd times when people are sending you messages. No work email on mine though. . . .they'll never enslave me.  grin

Re: The Black Berry Craze by Nobody: 3:23pm On Mar 08, 2010
the only advantage BB got over other phones is the free text ping thingy, which is not realy free when u think of it because u pay a hefty monthly fee for it tongue, hehe!
Re: The Black Berry Craze by denzel2009: 3:34pm On Mar 08, 2010
Its good for business/work. Though iphone has got more functionalities, you wont be taken serious if you using iphone compared to BB.

When I just got it, I used to have headaches in the morning now its on perpetual silent mode so it doesnt wake me up at nights anymore.

The first thing is do is delete everyone who sends them rubbish notification e.g jokes,poems etc - i cant stand that random messages ppl send to everyone  grin grin
I also dont use it for work unless i'll get mails all night, i'll rather login to work from home remotely & check my emails when i want than receive uncountable messages mostly from cc'in

What about windows mobile phones??

They are the best phones ever



Thank you Jare! I was on Nokias for a while after my 6682, then I wanted to move to the BB Curve in 07, but then ATT just dropped the HTC Tilt, and Ive never  wanted nothing else. My mom went ahead and got the Curve, and now she has the Bold, at least for one thing, it taught her to send text messages, but she sends the page length messages lol!  tongue Dad got one too, he gets prissy of the smallest things, I remember that BB set the green blinker thing to off and he fussed till I turned it back on, because the green to him means the fone worked  grin grin

IMO, Cant nothing touch The Newest Tilt2 or  HTC Rhodium .

BB- Nice with a Keyboard, no touch screen

Iphail- For Conformist people who wants a mp3 player that can call people  lipsrsealed Touchscreen No Keyboard!

HTC Tilt2, - Business users, Email, BB connect, Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Outlook, Wireless Tethering, Full Capability YIM with the options to download media directly from messaging screen. . .  much more . .   Magnificent Full Color Touch Screen with full pull out QWERTY Keyboard Underneath tongue cheesy

Yeah, just like the iphone, you would need a 3rd party software to achieve this

I wont hurt dem oo ,   grin its not everyone can pull a wireless network from their cell phone without physically connecting it  grin

I agree about nokias, they are cool, but in order to stay in the game they need to bring down the prices for wireless companies.
Iphone goes 99$ for a new contract, The Tilt2 is 149 with a new contract, while Nokias sit a fat 500 new or old.
No one is going to pick them up tongue
