- And I already want to go back to my Blackberry 9700. I'm patiently waiting for the jailbreak to see if I can get BB-like features on the iPhone... Well at least it doesn't instantly die like an Android.
Just a word of advice - Even though BB doesn't look as shiny as an iPhone or Android, simply put - it has key features, and features many phones still can't get right today - main one being a single message folder showing every type of event, that is something I really loved having, it made it feel like all my apps were working in harmony and not just as little widgets, and alerts - though I can pretty much say every OS get this right except iOS. But don't get me wrong, the LED light was simply one of my favorite features. I'm planning on buying the 9800 when that comes too (but I don't think I'll ever slide it out, doesn't look good to me slid out). Hopefully when a jailbreak is released for iPhone 4 it will alleviate me of these problems. Sometimes I honestly wonder how Apple released a phone where alerts are pretty much a large obtrusive box, and where half of my "push" apps only update whenever it feels like it (though I heard the push problem is the app developers' fault).
But anyways - rant over. I pretty much can't wait to go back to Black (berry).
Update (including quotes):
- Commenting about me complaining that there is no LED light.
I'm not saying an LED light was a make or break feature - Don't get me wrong it is very helpful (at my job, I can't look at my phone, but I can leave early due to emergencies, my family is pretty much against calling me at work, but they still send me messages - and with Berrybuzz I could easily tell if a msg was important or not) I'm well aware of what an iPhone can do since my brother has one.
I do agree that no phone is perfect but seriously? You should have know that iPhone do not have LED indicators before you bought it. And if you expect everything to be like blackberry then you really didn't want a iPhone. What you want is a blackberry that has features like the iphone and you won't find that anytime soon. I think most who have left blackberry for Android or iPhone would venture to say that the benefits far outweighs the limitations. With every platform you give up something. I would rather give up LED notifications than the best web brower, full HTM email, access to all my email folders, recording in HD, ease of use, and seeming unlimited apps. But hey, that's just me.
All I can do is wait for a jailbreak / more iOS 4 supported apps, or simply get the 9800 when it comes (though I don't know since the iPhone's screen is really, really nice).
So you're complaining about the people complaining about the complainer? The "issues" that the OP have could have been avoided with RESEARCH. If you want to be unknowledgeable about your purchase and then complain about something it's never done in 3 years then you're asking for it. It's like me buying a blackberry and then being upset because I can't view all my yahoo email folders. If that was so important to me, I would have made sure it was there before I bought it. If you're going to complain, complain about some real issues and not your lack of research. And
Are you also in the Storm forums playing forum police so everyone can voice their crappy experiences instead of the Storm users constantly bashing everyone who said something bad about it? Or do you just defend blackberry users who don't like the iPhone or anything else that's not RIM?Last edited by McFarlane; 06-28-10 at 03:07 PM.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com06-28-10 02:41 AMLike 0 - Y'know I totally get ya about the one single message folder. It's tiny things like that which keep on a berry. I don't see the need for the bells and whistles, and especially the 'quirky' apps that all my friends seem to have and so it is these kinda things which I think are a real deal breaker.
Having everything in one place just seems... well ... logical. It's so simple, and yet it seems that the latest iphone 're-revolution' is sticking with the exact same way of handling the core purpose of the device (communication) as the old revolution *shrug*06-28-10 03:51 AMLike 0 - And I already want to go back to my Blackberry 9700.

- It baffles me how you guys can call another persons experience BS!!??
Really? He's talking BS because HE'S expressing HIS issues with a phone that HE bought with HIS money....
Some of you guys absolutely kill me the way you troll around this site and drop one liners in posts that don't meet YOUR expectations....06-28-10 10:03 AMLike 0 - It baffles me how you guys can call another persons experience BS!!??

I had an iphone and didn't like it and probably will not get another one but am I going to go rag on a guy who does? No. Just like my friends out here who have iphones don't rag on people with other phones. In fact they wish they could use a physical keyboard every now and then. I think the anonymity of the internet gives the people who actually do this the guts because no one will ever know who they actually are.

I do agree with your statement that the OP could have done the research, but then again sometimes you need to actually GET THE PHONE HOME and mess around with it at your own leisure, certain things you may over look for other benefits. I mean if I listened to all the S2 haters I would have NEVER bought one, but I did I love it and life goes on....
Now please note that I had a specific area that was underlined in my post for the ONE LINER posters that troll and have nothing useful to contribute to the matter.....they are the posters that I have ZERO patience for....not the ones that offer up suggestions that may help the OP not to make the same error again.Last edited by jiggaman2g; 06-28-10 at 10:48 AM.

Just to clarify, I wasn't ragging on his experience with the iPhone, or putting him down. I also wasn't attempting to troll, but whatever. All I was saying was thats all I personally miss about the blackberry. Was it my most intelligent post ever? No, and sorry if it so deeply offended you.
I hadn't had my coffee yet.06-28-10 11:20 AMLike 0 -
By the way, I heard that Apple invented multitasking for smartphones ;-) For this reason alone I would not buy the previous iPhones. Not to mention LED,Notification, Better Push Email,Customization & Physical Keyboard to name a few things which are important to me.
So it comes down to choice and if you made an informed one...all the power to you.06-28-10 11:23 AMLike 0 - Yeah just like I think LEd notifications and the unified inbox for everything is not a necessity. But being able to have access and organize all my web-based email folders is important to me. Having a good web browser is important to me and having access to all the apps is important to me. So you may think it's "gravy" but these are things that RIM wished they had. Everyone has their own needs and opinion the things that it has greatly outweigh the thing is it missing.06-28-10 11:34 AMLike 0
