why are you people so jealous of bb owners. Did anybody force you to buy tecno android phone. Bb is composed of two elements, the hardware and the service side hence you can choose to get bis as an ongoing option with your bb phone but with techno you only get the hardware hence no budget internet service. You guys made your bed, now lie on it.

BB uses a different tech, am of the opinion that thinking out of the box is the way forward for all other smartphone platforms. Our ability to encourage the alternative platforms like IOS, WP and Android will bring the best out of them the way we have seen them innovating every day.

So chill.

All data used in legacy BB phones pass through blackberry's data centers which compress the data heavily so that the bandwidth eventually used is so small that networks can afford to give out bogus data plans without stressing their capacity.

For the Android and iOS however, the data is direct from server to phone. So special data compression. So no cheaper data plans.

It works like this. On a BB if you point your browser to the url nairaland.com, the phone sends a request to blackberry's servers, which request the page from oga Seun's servers grin compresses it and sends it to the phone. On Android or iOS, the phone requests the page from Seun's servers directly, no compression involved. That's why Opera Mini and UCWeb are popular with those platforms. They offer that kind of compression in a way.

BBM messages still pass through BB servers, which is why as Android users will notice, the data used by BBM wouldn't be so much.

OP, hope you get it now?

Thank u my broda for ur analyses. The main tin wey d OP mean be say, make network provider dey give everybody the same rate of data bundle. If BB subscription na 1k for 2g or less( some network say na unlimited self) make normal data bundle price be the same. Weda d android users finish d 2g witin 3 days or one week, its non if their biz. Some network BB subscription don dEY work for android and they are makin cool cash from it. I can decide to subcribe two to three times a month if my mb finish and dem fit use the Bb people own cover up.
