How is blackberry better at messaging than iPhone or android?
I've been reading all the comments about how the blackberry is better at messaging than the iPhone and android phones. Can someone explain how so?
I've been a blackberry user since the very beginning... and since then, the things that irritated me then still do. For example:
1. Still no imap support. Why do I have to delete / file messages twice when using BIS?
2. BES implementation is not perfect. Those using filesite within outlook will know what I'm talking about. File a bunch of messages using fast filer and there is a 50% chance that message may or may not be deleted/reconciled from your blackberry.
3. Why does all my web browsing data have to go through RIM's NOC. In my experience this extra compression does lower data usage - but man does it ever make web browsing slow and unbearable.
The list goes on. With Microsoft activesync using SSL encryption I just don't see the benefit for corporate email anymore.
On top of that, something I thought I would never say, but other phones (iPhone) just do all messaging so much better than the blackberry. Push email with activesync/gmail/yahoo is so much better than RIM's implementation. You have an exact copy of your folders - push is true push. You name it.
The only thing blackberry has going for itself these days is a great keyboard.
... a still frustrated bb user. RIM, you're making it mighty hard to stick around.
