BestBuy Mobile Said NO! to getting a BB

[mixercub]

So Ive been through the iPhone 4, the Android phones, and today I came back to a BlackBerry. A OS 7 Running White Torch 4G 9810 Monster that I LOVE! At BB Mobile they tried and tried and tried to convince me that iPhone and Android was the way to go and that RIM was even behind Windows 7 in the smartphone game. Kind of ironic that 2 of the 3 people there were all sporting BlackBerry phones...

when i went to purchase the 9800 3 weeks ago (i knew i was gonna get a 9810 a week later when it was released but i was in a rush to get a new phone) and i went to BBM and they also tried to convince me NOT to buy the torch but i knew more than they did im sure.... the BB ended up not even having anymore in stock lol

Yeah I went into the same BBM today to get the car charger and one of the reps tried to be a smartarse and say "Hows that Berry workin for ya?" I said, "Damn good, hows that iPhone workin for ya?" .....He dropped it in the toilet on his break ROFLMAO...AND the other rep I dealt with, her android died and she lost everything. I think the Berry Gods got their karma on BBM here in ATL ROFL

yeah its kind of weird that they'd be discouraging you from buying a device the way they do.

my simple argument with android and iphone users (and i've and iphone, and about 5 different android phones) is that your phone cant be all that great if it cant stay charged. that usually shuts them up. then i also let them know sometimes that theres nothing they can do on their device that i cannot do on mines.

i tell iphone users "your phone is so cool, you cant even use your own notification and ringtones" and i tell android phones "your phone is pretty bad ***, it'd be better if you had the latest android OS, but #oop, your software and most times hardware is outdated by google itself every 4 months" lol

I havent had them tell me not to buy a BB, but any time you walk into BBM they always have the iphone and one or two androids out on display that work The only BBs on display are always the dummy models If you arent familiar with BB youd have no idea how it works. Then you go by the tabletd and the Playbooks are never plugged in. It's like they tell you not to buy a BB without even having to say it
