    Is a BB the only device you have ever used?

    I'm using a Nokia Lumia 800 at the moment which uses Windows phone. I LOVE IT!!. Because My Bold 9900 broke. I love this phone that I'm getting a Nokia Lumia 920 and the Windows phone 8X for my GF. she loves the factor and 2 Windows phone 8S for my Mum and Dad. I'm still using a replacement Bold 9900

    I have used Androids and iPhones. Since I'm a techy, I'm normally approached by my friends who have those platforms to sort out issues and I end up getting a lot of play time on them.
    Of the two, I find iOS better to work with as Androids are just too scattered.
    Having said that, I haven't found the tight integration of BBOS on either of those and going forward, I'm a little apprehensive about BB10. The level of thought and little things that are there in BBOS and its depth makes me a little sceptical about BB10 as its a brand new OS which by the very nature of its newness might not have the little things out of the gate.
    I have played with Lumia in the shops and I tend to like it. TBH I'm quite tempted with the WP.

    Thanks. Maybe I should change it to CURRENT BB USERS.

    But glad your happy witn WP. Enjoy.




    If you read this before you vote. If you switched its obvious that you have tried another platform. I'm more looking just for CURRENT BB USERS.

    If you've moved on all the power to you. I moved on from my previous platform and looking for current users.

    I was an iOS users for 3-4 years? before I came to my BB. Meanwhile, i have used both Android and Windows Phone as well, but my main daily driver is still a BB. So yeah, pretty familiar with other platforms.

    I currently use an iPhone 4S on iOS6 and a SGII Skyrocket on ICS along with any of three Blackberries....a 9900, a 9810 or a 9860. Also use a 9650 on BES for work, but that one is assigned by work.
    Had a Playbook which I returned.
    Have a "new iPad" which I preferred over a Playbook.
    Have used Windows phones for several years before getting into BBerries.
    Used Palm Treo and really wasn't keen on it.

    So when I say I prefer BB as a platform I'm well aware of what the others offer.

    That said, the others have their own very worthy offerings which also work very well and which are not, as commonly described with derision, toys.

    So....I'm basically platform agnostic. I use what works for me for the time and task at hand.

    Besides my 9900, I use a Samsung Galaxy Blaze. I had a WP phone for three months. My wife has had an iphone for years, so I've had plenty of opportunity to use it, but I've never had one of my own.

    Off topic - I've seen the avatar you're using and others. Any reason they look like a Christmas ornament?

    I've dabbled with them but no long term use.

    I currenlty own AND PLAY WITH iPhone 4S, Samsung Galaxy SIIx, Smasung Galaxy S, Samsung Gio and BB9810.

    I am not familar with Windows phones at present. But, I once knew a guy who hitch hiked to Toronto and was given a drive by a trucker, whose cousin had a relationship with a waitress that knew a guy who worked at Best Buy who used to own Nokia Lunia.

    lol!!

    To answer his question

    Currently I own and frequent most of them. I haven' bought an Android device in about 2 years but my wife uses a Galaxy phone and I support them in the office. I am quite familiar with the newer OSs and devices. We have the original iPod somewhere here as well as Shuffles, Nanos, iPod touches (2) and iPad.

    I've just promoted myself to deviceand platform guru

    Got my first BB (9700) in Nov 09. Owned an iPod Touch for about a month in April-May 10 but sold it. In July 10 I got my first Android. Jump to Sept 11 and I get another 9700. In Feb 12 I picked up a Playbook, but sold it a few months later. In June 12 I got a 9930 after I switched to Verizon for a bit. Sold that when I switched back to T-Mo. Currently using SGS3 and the 9700. I have TWO lines on T-Mo for cheaper than ONE on Verizon!!

    PP does familiar include fiddling with the gfs warp?
    Or does it have to be intimate knowledge of other device?
    Wow that almost sounded dirty
