Forgive me CrackBerry, for I have sinned.... Again
For the second time now, I have left the world of CrackBerry and went over to the Android side. Like many amongst us, I have been caught up in the glamour of open source, fast-speced devices and many free apps. But in the end, I eventually wound back to the BlackBerry. Why, some of you may ask.... Its a simple answer: instant messaging implementation. On the Android devices, their messaging, is at best said, horrible. Messages weren't getting through, email setup was atrocious, and in the end, all it was to me was a toy.
With BlackBerry when I need to respond to an important email, receive messages from customers/family/friends, respond and update my Facebook, I know it will be done, in that second. And yes we have all complained about how the BlackBerry is losing the smartphone market because of the iPhone and Android. Yes their devices are exciting initially, but in the end, it wears off quickly. When I use a device, I not only need it for personal uses, but especially business as well. And I need that device to do it quickly, and efficiently as possible.
In conclusion, as long as RIM keeps pushing out devices, I will be buying and using, because in the end, when I'm responding to texts, Facebook statuses and messages, BBMs, and of course that all important e-mail from the National Office in Washington D.C. when I move up the governmental career ladder, I'm not grabbing no stinkin' Android, I'm using Blackberry. BlackBerry truly does.
