So it's settled then, if RIM goes under most folks would switch to windows phones. No takers for iTrash. Do you hear that iSheep....

This can be locked down now.

You are an . What's exactly settled? Looks like Apple is doing fine. Haven't seen any threads about them going under. Have you?

I'm with sam, Really get rid of the signature. No one should use a product called Tapatalk sounds like a product for 2 year olds.

[phonejunky]

Coming from someone with the name Kiddo. Well let me educate you kiddo. Tapatalk is an application on Blackberry, iOS, and android devices used to easily navigate forums like Crackberry, etc.. Please be your own person and not a follower of other forum members. Knowledge is power.

While my Atrix did suffer from lag, my Skyrocket seems to have missed the lag memo.

It's lightning fast. The name Skyrocket suits.

Same with my MoPho, and flick scrolling is soooo sweet.

Really, this comment is beneath you. Name calling when you should be reinforcing your position is a sign of impotence.

[cckgz4]

Just wondering, why "outside of Windows"?

Because outside of the Nokia devices, all Windows Phone devices give the same experience

Are you that threatened by iOS that you have to resort to name calling every time discussing it?

[pooar]

Go RIM!

This should be a poll. Would be easier and better response.

Having said that .... Android. I've had a Windows phone, my daughter has a iPhone ... I've used other people's Androids. I like android better than the other alternatives. BUT, until RIM rolls over and plays dead, I'll keep buying BB.

[Nashstruck]

Check this out!

[wuulfy]

Was at the local AT&T store checking out the new Nokia, If RIM fails (Big IF),Then a windows phone will be in my future.

are you aware nokia have annouced they have lost more money than rim?

[jamesbondOO7]

Would not consider android and apple. So it would be Windows. Or I get a private personal assistant.

My Dad had this phone!!! <3

[Mr.Monty]

If RIM fails, I'll continue to use my 9930 until it quits working. If there is nothing that is catching my eye on the market then I'll switch back to my 9630 until that quits working.
This is of course if there isn't a major change in technology where they simply won't work anymore (like bag phones! )

I've used Android and iOS phones, and I just didn't care for them. They had neat features and good hardware specs, but I can't put my finger on why I didn't like them. I'm happy and content with my BB's as long as they continue to work for me.

[Jonathank]

why is there a stupid topic started everyday???

please tell me.... why???

WHY DOES SOMEONE ALWAYS HAVE 2 SAY SOMETHING NEGATIVE..... GO ON ANOTHER POST... IF YOU SEEN THIS POST SOOOOOO MANY TIMES, THEN WHY DID U CLICK IT????? JUST B Quit no1 wants to hear your negativity....

HAHAHAHAHAH, Do you really care....

[Play-Book]

Well, if the beautiful webOS has been revamped, then I'd totally be there ... Otherwise, probably a Windows phone ...


However, that is only until I would not be able to get replacement parts for my BB ... Which would be years and years after ... BUT ... Blackberry/RIM will not falter ...

[JAGWIRE]

*sigh* another one....

i would stay with BB. if that day ever came and RIM declared Chapter-11 id run out and buy at least two more BBs. Ya there'd be no more support but the phone would still work. i would keep that up for as long as i could. after that i have no clue.

[plh121]

I would get my other BlackBerry phones out of the drawer.

[Yaceka]

I'd probably end up with Windows Phone or maybe even iOS. I'm already pretty impressed by the Lumia 900, but I'm buying a Bold 9900 instead because I like the smaller form factor. When my contract ends and if I don't find BB10 all that appealing I might switch over to Windows Phone.

[FunktasticLucky]

Well... It's still up in the air for me. I will never own android or Apple. I hate Apple's business practices and how they think they can do whatever they want. And Android... I love how you can customize the OS. There are a ton of things you can do on it... but Google has pissed me off so much lately. Wanting to Watch everything I do and changing their privacy policies to say they will hand over your information if asked by authorities, including your searches... What happened to their old practices. Money Corrupts everyone.

So for me... I'll probably end up with Windows Phone or just go back to a Feature phone. I really enjoyed my LG phones back in the day. And the plus is the battery lasted a week on them haha.

It's funny you mention that. In the past few weeks I've met several people who experienced "smartphone burnout" and went back to feature phones. Two were young people (about 20), the other was around my age (58). The reasons they gave were diverse: tired of paying for the data plan, feeling like the phone was more a distraction than a help, feeling like they had to "check things" all the time.

Well, three people isn't a trend, but it's an interesting coincidence.

As for me, I already have a WP phone. It's not everything I want, but I'm hanging onto it.

Sometimes I think I should just sell the BB and the Radar and get the Samsung Galaxy Blaze, which is about the right size for me, has a good strong battery, and has the exact apps that I want. For example, WP has Kindle, but like the BB Kindle app, it doesn't do highlighting or notes; the Android app does. I've never been that keen on the Android experience but I'm sure I could get used to it. But for some reason I don't do it.

[Mystic205]

I have dipped my toe already by getting the Galaxy Note as a mini-tablet and so it would be android in a heartbeat... its the widgets

[Jahcae]

Well... It's still up in the air for me. I will never own android or Apple. I hate Apple's business practices and how they think they can do whatever they want.

To be honest, they offer expensive but good hardware. I would definately switch to an iPhone, but never to Android. I love the way iOS behaves, it's so smooth and you get like every app you want...

[sleepngbear]

So to further add to my diatribe ...
I'm having lunch yesterday with a close friend who used to be a crackhead but is now himself a die-hard iPhan. His wife and two kids all have Androids. He thinks I'm nuts for not only staying with BlackBerry, but for buying my last one with cash out of contract, and he's pretty sure RIM will soon be a thing of the past. My only answer to that is, RIM isn't a thing of the past yet, and the phone they make today is the one I like best out of everything else available.

The guy is also a gadget freak who has to have the latest and greatest in anything techie. Despite that, he absolutely loathes Android, thanks to the horrible experiences he's had with all three of them in his house. Now in all fairness, I have to qualify this by pointing out that this is the guy who convinced me to buy the Treo 750 (the one powered by WinMo), which turned out to be the all-time most hated phone I've ever owned. He has since come to pretty much the same conclusion, but I cannot forget that his first impressions of the device missed the mark by a parsec or two. Nonetheless, his reasons for disliking Android are completely different from my reasons for disliking Android. But recalling the failed Treo experiment, he's also giving me one more reason for never owning an iPhone.

So here's hoping if RIM goes tits-up, that somebody somewhere makes a Windows Phone with a half way decent physical keyboard and reliable messaging. Because my choices will be abysmally small.
