eheen,,,, Purchasing a phone all depends on what you are expecting from it.The fact that someone purchased a bb does not rule  him out automaticaly   as a fool, but could be that he/she seeks only in making use of less functs like  telephony and chatting . As it is quit obvious that someone might be possesion of a sound nokia product but fail to maximise  potentials derivable from that phone as such not attach value to it.
   I advice that if you really need a phone to serve you wella ,bb shld'nt top your list .I rather sugest you go for a (htc touch diamond ,iphone or nokia symbian 3rd edition  product) to really maximise your digital experience .,,,
 

in nigeria, blackberry is best for internet, We know what u mean, BIS is the best, BIS gave rise to BB,

@Mafia4life

Most BB owners in Naija only do facebook and BBM, and never use the feature around which the device was made: push email. RIM should make a cheap BB for Naija which has only BIS and BBM. It will sell like hotcake here.
