Philolos: My fellow brothers and sisters, let's follow the money. The phones people are buying today are: Samsung Galaxy S III, AT&T Nokia Lumia 900, HTC One Series (X, S, EVO 4G LTE), Apple iPhone 4S, and Nokia 808 PureView. The BB doesn't make the list of Top 5.

cupid4ig: oga first of all without ur bis u can still browse with ur phone browser, opera mini, 2go. bb is not meant for pinging alone it is idiots like u that believe it is only meant for pinging.ok let me as u why do u think celebrities use bb? if u think is because of pinging then u need to tro away ur phone cos u dont need it. my touch 9810 takes only 2mins to boot yes i know it takes time but i cant complain much. then battery yes the battery dont last that is if u have an active bis but the same thing goes to nokia and android phone try connect it on the internet without plugging it to light i give u 3hours the battery will run down, if u have enough money on ur phone try it one day and see for ur self when i mean connect connect it and leave it for 3 or even 3 good hours dont connect and discount it. i have personally try it with my nokia n97 so pls if u dont know what to write just shut ur mouth and keep quite. by the way who asked u to review it i guess u dont have money for one mtcheeeeeew.

mu2sa2: Why all dis uncouth language because of a simple personal opinion on bb. Ar u saying dat bb is flawless. Haba, d guy did nt abuse anyone in his review. Well, my good friend may be right in saying dat some chaps only appear 2 b sane.

spikes C: Plsssssssss oooooo, Nigerians should stick to there CrapBerry, why:

Data bundle is cheap for them, 1500 for unlimited (They still believe its unlimited )

BBM messenger aka over-hyped pinging (Just another instant messenger which is not flexible. One pin for One phone, some call it security, security my azz )

Email push blah blah (How many emails do they push, nokia email pushes unlimited email boxes)

Easier Social interaction (For the ignorant. Many apps have been doing this long before BB came into existence)

A smartphone because it has multitasking ability (Ehhm, whats the platform again. Java, i laugh in swahili)



AM not here to convince anyone that BB is crap, we just have to know that things work differently for different people
Everything that BB does, i mean everything, has already been done by even very old nokia phones.

For those reviewing BB porshe, i hear its around 450k...can you afford it

Those saying BIS works on PC, is it out of the box? you must use proxies which data networks regard as hacking and tries to close them down everytime is comes up.

So, tell me that which BB is very good at that is original that even old nokia phones cannot do

pafestula: @ OP u dont need to drag with (cupid4ig) from d way and manner he sounds and replied arrogantly and unrefined certificated raw human due to his level of brute and callow of no comparism, shows that he is an illirate and BB freaks, what u av expressed here has never called for his above statement, he said "Idiot like U" meaning of such nonsenscial languages The stupid 9810 touch sliding BB d local champion is praising as if is an archivement in life is nothing to write home about, also to crown it all he said "u dont av money to acquire one" BB that a complete alloy rim and michellene tyre will sort out, so tell me d tangible ego in it aside BBM? I av tested BB and dumped it for upcoming users like (cupid4ig) so mind d way u advertise BB where am talking! And I want all BB supporters to prove him wrong, not to castigate him like dat BOY called cupid4ig. Thanks
from BB IGWE wen BB were still BB, not wen UK BB saved people like cupid4ig.

Remove the battery, wait 3 minutes, put it back and see how long it takes to fully come on...... At the same rate, Nokia battery, for example, will last longer than that of a BlackBerry.

How do you use BIS to establish an Internet connection on a PC? A friend of mine subscribed to BBC hoping to use it on a PC, but it didn't work out. It was a waste because he didn't have a BlackBerry......

alienYOUTH: Its ironic when some BB fans claim other peeps castigate BB cos they cant afford it, when they (BB fans) use it cos of d affordable data plans. :p
The sad thing tho is dat most pple jst jump on d bandwagon of d smartphone frenzy without actually defining wat they want it to do for them or wat they want to use it for. I am not a slave to tech, i dont purchase cos of hype, i make it work for me; technology is a 'means'...not an 'end'. There r a lot of hungry pple out there u can help instead of buying tech stuff for ridiculous sums jst to make a statement.
Accept it or not, d truth behind d BB craze is basically social networking; BBM, Facebook, Twitter etc...beyond this, d BB has little to offer than other smart phones in d industry because its too restrictive, u jst cant tinker wit d brains & customize/install unauthorized soft or do wild stuff generally.

Without much yarns, i use a Nokia E6 & it works HARD for me; Internet browsing is a breeze anytime. Once i have d relevant data plan engaged, i dont need to have a separate plan for my laptop, i can teether remotely by bluetooth; it even has native software to generate a wifi hotspot. Touchscreen and QWERTY pad...navigation is awesome. GPS & Nokia maps for offline turn-by-turn voice navigation with sufficiently detailed 9ja map or any other country for dat matter. Java apps to access d GPS functionality to track & save my trips & export to google earth format, 8mp full focus camera to take geotagged images so i dont have to manually record d locations; dual led flash dat doubles as torchlight (no need for app); gorilla glass; push email for instant delivery; enuff social ntwk software to install; 8gb internal memory & mem card slot...all for N50,000; saved me d cost & inconvenience of carrying around a GPS handheld, torchlight, modem and digicam. A true Swiss army knife phone.

If u knw wat u want to achieve and ur tech does it for u, by all means carry on...no need to belittle d other man cos he uses a basic phone. Its jst stupid when pple waste money on tech they dont fully utilize jst cos of d status symbol it exudes, or jst for entertainment & meaningless chatter when it shld be making money for u like any other wise investment.

benzion72:
It is certain so many ignorant people are opening their mouth to say all manner of rubbish about a product that the intelligence that made it is a light year ahead of their country total intelligence put together. Their country cannot produce lead pencil not to talk of Nokia 3310. The only thing they are good at is consuming all manners of products with a lot of pride that is unfounded. millions of them are so weak with one or more degree without a means of livelihood. Some of the this foolish Nigerian still eke out money from Uncle and Cousins retired parent who ought to be benefiting from their fruit of labour on them. But because of foolishness they choose to waste their money and time on technology, and argue about application which are written by intelligence that is better than their own. Do you even wonder that this application be it game or what have you was written by somebody like you and is making money on it. You dull head still argue about it use, burning your precious time on one useless game and ping. enough

Billyonaire: Yes, any kind of ebook at amazon, I use it on wireless ofcourse

D sage: The guy is right to some extent, BB is suck especially if you are not subscribe. I'm a BB user,I can tell u all what he listed above was true.

abbey621: I don't see why you would want to remove the battery.

aze: Blackberry Porsch and Other BB have:
2. Can run 64 appz with real multitasking
12. Not to 4get, RIM just launched the BB Porshe successor running BB0S 10. U nid to see am.

Zulele: Truely, you don't have money τ̲̅ȍ buy one.

mrkels: It is evident that you have used a Chinko blackberry! These are so not the weakpoints of a blackberry . Do you really know the use of the blackberry smartphone? And no its not only used for pinging, and you talk about battery problems? Well I hate to break it to you,but when you buy fake phones at computer village what do you expect from it? Get a brand new blackberry and you would be glad you did.

walestrings: Though I av my own reservations on this bb stuff. But not all what u said is true especially if u know how to tweak. My bb boots in a min!!! I also use my mtn BIS subscription to surf on my system. My bold2 battery also lasts more than a day with active BIS depending on usage!!!! There are also much more tins to do with a bb than ping!!!
I believe for d Nigerian environment, BB beats all other fones!!!
