Good god how do you not? I've been thru every major smartphone platform on the market and Droid is the only one that I can watch the ram (and the battery) eat itself alive as the phone fires up a slew of apps on its own that you cannot stop (read: terminate) by normal means. Google is blatantly full of sh*t on that call, maybe not directly as perhaps the carrier is to blame as their bloatware is given a disgusting amount of authority on the device, but then you get into having to change your OS (root) which does not speak well for anything.

no pretty much everyone agrees, tasks are easy to kill without them if you want, and ram being used up on a phone is a good thing, it's not a pc, the more stuff in ram the faster you phone operates.

Android Task Killers Explained: What They Do and Why You Shouldn't Use Them

The truth about Android task killers and why you don't need them | PhoneDog

i WANT the applications i use most running and in my ram, they're exceedingly faster like this, killing them causes issues especially with notifcation and sync services, using a task killer is only limiting your functionality.

root is not a bad thing, and it can be undone thus not voiding your warranty, if your carrier apps are bugging you, you can root, remove them, and unroot

OS 2.2 and higher does not require a task killer. Most issues are mot truly with the OS, it is with the overlay (Sense, TouchWiz, etc.), pure Android (2.2 & above) are not the battery hogs that the uninformed claim them to be.

In fact, the article states that the second pic was taken with a different phone. The article also states that the files were probably taken from an unencrypted cloud or backup service.

Nowhere in that article does it say that a BB was hacked. But nice try...

When you find an article that states a celebrity's encrypted BB was compromised, then we'll talk.

If one goes on an Internet search of Scarlett Jo's phone that was "hacked" most sites say it was an iPhone that was hacked, OR cloud storage service but when a device is mentioned as her current device it has been an iPhone

also if you go and check the Celebrity Blackberry sighting website
Celebrity BlackBerry Sightings you wont find her name on it

For certain things, I don't trust cloud storage either.

Not really.

I ensure my value is such that when I stir the pot, it will be overlooked

I installed firefox onto a desktop machine inside the building that stayed hidden there for about 4 months.


I found a loop hole in Lotus notes to sync my calendar to a webbased calendar then back to an outlook calendar for almost a year before that hole was fixed

I was given a new notebook 2 weeks ago, this one is VERY locked down right now, wont even give me CMD access... yet

you can actually see her bold 9000 phone in the picture, did you look at it? as well as the picture itself showing it was taken with a bold 9000, what is the argument?

Her Allure photo shoot was in 2006. The Bold 9000 was released in July 2007 so that is not a bold 9000 she is holding.

I only see boobs.

The picture shows a phone. The picture does not show the phone being hacked. The picture does not prove anything.

Actually it's worse than that....the original Bold was released in 2009, I think.

But really, nowhere on the article does it say that her BB was hacked. Not even DM.

Why would I want Blockbuster, Skype, Google Maps, and at least half a dozen others running? Its been a bit since I had that Droid X, but it was killing me to have all that crapola running and not be able to close it. I guess I don't understand how a bunch of internet connected apps running all the time doesn't use up ram and most importantly, battery life. I assure you, there's no way to close down the list of apps that I didn't want or use. Trying to close Skype for example was the only time in my life I've ever even touched Skype. I really wish I could remember the list of stuff, it was kind of long. I don't feel I should have to root my phone to remove or simply close them.

Lack of basic software control was my bad experience with Droid. I shouldn't have to either root my phone or use specialized apps to simply close or remove other software from my device.

...Does seem to kinda overshadow the Bold a bit. Not complaining, but your point is dead-on
