PSA: this post is not about bagging on blackberry and destroying the company or anything like that. below has been on my mind for a long time now and i felt that this was the necessary place to share my thoughts
when apple announced the iphone 4 last year, i kind of went nuts. by that time i was starting to dislike blackberry because nothing was changing, they were actually becoming boring phones. another reason for this was because i was using the storm 1 and that phone was a piece of crap. it made me dislike blackberry even more. fast forward a little bit: i got the iphone 4 when it came out last year and i loved it. it was actually a solid/great/almost perfect phone. i was enjoying every single minute with it. i remember every night before bed i stayed up just surfing the web and wasting time on it (never done that with a phone before). but after a while, as with all things electronic, i was slowly getting tired of the phone and was missing blackberry again. i think the biggest thing i was missing was the keyboard, instant everything, and most important bbm. a lot of my friends at that time slowly migrated to blackberry and i coincidentally left the blackberry ship, so i felt left out. fast forward some more: i eventually traded my iphone 4 for the torch. at the time, it was the smartest decision i made due to os6, blackberry in my life again, and of course bbm in my life. i was actually pretty excited to be back and loved being back to the black. fast forward to today, i am tired of blackberry, and its not because of a new iphone or new phone in general, i am just tired of blackberry because nothing is changing. yeah os6 is new and actually looks good, but it still feels the same as os5. same simple set up and everything. i know some of the people in the forums will say that blackberry is a business-user phone or not the greatest app oriented phone and i understand and agree. but you would think that app world would get better or blackberry would start to change its M.O. around and start actually getting better. i think i can upgrade to a new phone in November 2011 and when that time comes, i plan on leaving blackberry to the next iphone or an android phone and promise to never go back to blackberry again. trading my iphone 4 was a big mistake that and i know i will regret it until i see another non-blackberry phone in my hand soon.04-29-11 02:30 PM - Your situation sounds alot like what my buddy does. He gets a new phone, then he gets tired of it and wants something different, so he swaps phones with someone. A couple months later, he does the same thing.
Best of luck finding the next satisfactory handset. And the next one a couple months after that
