Mrkuvuki: Its not by force to Use a blackberry phone,for me i use a curve 9300 and a blackberry playbook together. Its so perfect!secure email service,protecting u from yahoo boys..plus u get 2 view ur pdf and excel files straight from ya email...then the battery issue:since a blackberry smart phone is always internet connected thats why the battery runs down too fast,all u gotta do is. Go to data services and turn it off then battery gets to last 2 days or more and turn it back on when u want internet.....did i mention that the data for the playbook depends on the same bis you use on ur fone? Honestly a blackberry phone is meant for a business and social minded person buh its just that ppl are so dumb 2 come here and advertise for iphone,htc and samsung for free.if u dumped ur bb dont come on nairaland and start telling pipo 2 dump theirs too..N1500 for unlimited data err month! I cannot fit to dump my bb oo

walestrings: Na wa oooo. This thread neva die
Yeah we know androids and iphones and nokias handle push email better than BB. But still push email on BB is still functioning, why should I change?

NO LONG TIN: The only thing BB is good for is their messenger app(pinging) & d internet service is cheap 1500 per month(unlimited data plan).
I use a BB 2, so I feel I'm in a good position to know. I got to know BB is useless when I saw my friends fone last year(LG optimus 'Android phone'), d things I could do with the fone was amazing, d games.... Let's not go there, cos blackberry games are crap - d manageable ones are expensive(not free). Do you know I can't read PDF files on ma fone? Do u know dat ma Doc 2 go(app for reading documents) have expired?
Do you also know that its only in Nigeria where blackberry sells(the number of fones they sell here keeps increasing) but in US and Europe they are declining rapidly.
Finally, I will forgive a computer illiterate(novice) for thinking(not even saying) that a blackberry fone(even if its Porshe) is beta than an android, Iphone and/or a windows phone, buh any oda person should be jailed.
I'm looking forward 2 my HTC ONE X phone, cos I refused 2 b limited by my BB.

Guys pls dnt crucify me O! Just wanna make ma BB peeps FEEL GOOD and TOP OF THE WORLD for buying Super DumbPhones called ... emm... Ya. BlueMango.

BlueMango Guys, you need to try these

1. Android Smartphones. Blows the BlueMango devices outta water with modern specs, apps and great funtionality.

2. Apple Iphone. Huh. The real Game Changer. Don`t need any tips to operate it out of the box. Packs ALL you need into one compact device. Multimedia, internet connectivity and gaming. All in one.solid platform. (remember they and Android are putting RIM and Nokia Out of business for now)

3. Nokia Belle/Symbian. You tried working with the old soldier Swiss knife yet? Uber platform, but limited endusers to meagre hardware. Thats why the foot soldiers aka FANBOIZ shifted camp to Uber UBER modern platforms to satisfy our cravings..

Ok... Umh. Have u tried Samsung Galaxy Series yet. Nah? What about HTC One series? Oh... no?

The Sony Ericsson Xperia and LG Optimus lineup are great. You tried them too? ... No? Nada. You are living in a cave, guy!

ok. What about Apple Iphone. One great device per year. One of the true definition of fashionable and smart mobile platform. No? No wonder you argue alot.

Ok. What about Nokia WP series the Lumia 800, 900 and Nokia 808 PureView with 41mp camera sensor? Ummm.........!!!!!!!

My BB Guys you mean u don't know of HTC One X, S, V, SGS3 iphone 4s? Sh!£.

BlueMango users are living in a dumbphone paradise.

I never said you couldn't browse with your BlackBerry service on Opera Mini. I stated that you couldn't DOWNLOAD without BlackBerry service. Am I right?

It is false to say you could browse with your phone browser, that is BlackBerry Browser without an active BlackBerry service.

Back in the days, 2go was not compatible with BlackBerry service, but it is different today. If you make a fresh download, you will discover that 2go now depends on BlackBerry service. For me, this is not a good development because it has killed flexibility - you must buy BlackBerry service to now 2go. I just pray that they don't make Opera Mini dependent on BlackBerry service.

Talking about battery; can you in all honesty say that a BlackBerry battery is better than that of Nokia? Check Nokia C6-00: with constant Internet connection, the phone can run for more than 9 hours on 2G, and more than 7 hours on 3G. Can you in all sincerity say that a BlackBerry battery is better than that of Nokia?

I laugh when you said I didn't have money to acquire a BlackBerry. And who told you I don't have one, or can't buy one? Let me tell you one truth: BLACKBERRY IS CHEAPER THAN NOKIA AND OTHER SIMILAR DEVICES, EITHER IN TERMS OF ACQUISITION COST OR DATA COST! For example, with just N1,500, you can buy BlackBerry data capped at unlimited. However, even after spending N8,000, you still receive an average of 5G on a regular Internet package. If you are frank enough, you know which is cheaper to maintain.

Who says celebrities use BlackBerry in a way different from the way they use other brands? Apart from pinging, what other functionality does a BlackBerry offer that other mobile devices don't, or can't offer? Just know that with WhatsApp, the exclusivity of BBM is now diminished.

In conclusion, anyone who buys a BlackBerry device based on the hype about it is likely going to regret it. The exaggerated publicity about it will make you think it is a miracle machine. So, when you buy it, you will be expecting to see more, and on discovering that there is "nothing much" about it, you become "not so enthusiastic" about it.

onatisi: i can get 150 mb for 5cedis equ to 500 naira ,when i came home i regretted not having a bb i was charged 500 naira for 50mb

charlsecy4:

Just know that the new Ghana Cedi was introduced on 1 July 2007 at a rate equal to 10,000 old Cedis. That's redenomination for you. So, in effect, 5 new Cedis is equal to 50,000 old Cedis. So, you get 150MB for 50,000 old Cedis, which is approximately equal to N500. The same thing.

You may have been charged N500 for 50MB, but what's the validity of the data? It must be 7 days.

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.

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.

Show me phone that offers unlimited download on any network with N1,500 monthly subscription and I will dump my BB this day.

ccwizard: Blackberry phones generally offer just 2 things bbm n unlimited internet. Apart from that, its trash. Run 2 many apps n its freezes, it crashes easily, it lacks nice apps n games. If ur really a phone freak or a gadget freak u'll understand. That blackberry is a poor product. For ur information its only in africa where we lack cheap data plans for iphones, galaxy n nokia dat ppl still stick to blackberry. Just imagine if any of our networks will offer 3g for N1500, I'm sure blackberry sales will fall rapidly.

onatisi: ppl i think we are missing a vital point in this discussion,WHY WAS BB CREATED?IT IS OBVIOUS FROM ALL THE POSTS HERE THAT BB WAS NOT CREATED FOR GAMES OR FUN APP ,BOTH THE CRITICS ND PEOLE WHO USE BB AGREE ON THT,IT IS BASICALLY FOR INTERNET BROWSING AND COMMUNICATION THROUGH PINGING ,I THINK THAT IS IT AND UNLESS THE MOBILE INTERNET COST IS REDUCED FOR MOBILE USERS ,BB WILL CONTINUE TO MAKE AN HEADWAY IN THE NIGERIAN MARKET.THE BOTTOM LINE IS INTERNET BROWSING IS CHEAP ON BB.FOR FUN AND GAMES OR APP FIND ANOTHER PHONE.
