    Why do I choose BlackBerry? I like Freedom. This country stands for FREEDOM... I love having the ability to pop a microSD into my BlackBerry, I love having to choose which type of BlackBerry is right for me, I enjoy getting a song from YouTube and converting it to mp3 and Voila A "Free" song. I enjoy exchanging music with friends and not have my songs wiped off. I enjoy Mass Storage mode... I enjoy Playing music live rather then stream from the air, that's just what u have "air". Good luck on the subway train boat or plane. (the time u need it the most).I enjoy touching physical keys and again not "air". BlackBerry Gives me Freedom, iOS? I have to live in their world "dictatorship"lol won't even give it a shot (not even a microUSB?), windows? It needs alot of work, I was unable to set a song as a ringtone (seriously??) very simple feature. The media player was great thou, but found myself missing alot of emails due to the lack of the crack light lol. On to Android, I'm not an app guy I like having my main 5-10 apps I did not enjoy searching 1000s of the same app only to find bugs with alot of them... A 3 year old can make an app and get it submitted, to me android will accept anything to add to its list of numbers... I use my Bold for communication because that's what it's best at and what a phones used for. For vacations I own my beloved Nokia 808 pureview nothing beats the camera or video or sound quality NOTHING. Symbian is nice, the media player can't list artists only playlist,songs and genres besides the lack of apps and the media player limitations its a smooth OS, sad to see it go but what a send off A great phone to say goodbye to symbian with... I am waiting for my BBX device yes I use BBX because I will not get sued feel free to do the same.... Now enough of me...Why do u choose BlackBerry or what ever device u have?....My Personal opinion also called "Free"dom of speech lol

    BlackBerry chose me

    Before smartphones came about, BlackBerry did a great job of being a phone. And still is by being efficient in communicating. Yes, all these Android devices and iphones have a lot of great features, but they don't do the simple things well like a BlackBerry does. It is a phone first and will only get better as it develops even more!

    I chose BlackBerry for its ease of use. Its keyboard just feels great. Its professional design, media card slot, notification light, trackpad, and BBM.

    The thread is titled "Why do you choose Blackberry," not "why do you choose Blackberry & give reasons the other phones are crap" >_>

    One of the posters in here listed the reasons he chooses Blackberry WITHOUT bashing or mentioning the others.
    It's not a hard thing to do.

    I chose BlackBerry for the work all done quickly,
    No how to get involved with, all at the touch of a button, either send an email or upload a photo from Facebook.

    Comfort of the keyboard is just amazing.
    Everything is everywhere, not like other operating systems to look for all
    And who knows where everything is.

    I run a business with mine. Until the other platforms exceed bb in what my needs are, I'm staying in the RIM boat. Communication is king for me and like mentioned earlier, that is were bb shines brightest.

    I never got a blackberry because these stupid slogans like 'tools not toys'! A phone is what you make of it, every BB is not a tool, every iphone is not a toy.

    My BB is not a tool, I chose BB as a social platform, I love the apps as facebook,twitter what bb has to offer, I love the keyboard as I'm a heavy social user, BBM,facebook, twitter I use the lot!

    So on that not, I chose BB for the social network apps available to me, yes I know iphone has these apps too (apart from BBM) but the UI on the BB apps are much better, and I chose BB for the great keyboard they provide me.

    So defensive, No. SOOO FREAKING tired of the word BASHING and TROLL? YES. What I wrote was "my" reason's I choose a BlackBerry over others, SIMPLE. I asked what r ur reason's?. Can u honestly look at what I wrote and call it bashing? Its legitimate facts, WP u can't set a simple ringtone is bashing? NO, IOS is in its own world even when it comes to charging Bashing NO, Android is confusing with millions of apps. Bashing is far from it. I have a right to have my opinion, What u should have wrote is the reasons u choose ur device because THAT'S ALL I ASKED FOR.

    Correct me someone if I am wrong, but I remember the 2007 Steve Jobs keynote, the part he was saying that the point of a whole touchscreen device vs keyboard one is to allow the phone to adapt to the user tasks. Interesting, tough, it is the main reason I use a BB : it perfecly adapts to my everyday life, allowing me to do my stuff so easily, so naturally that it becomes... Boring. SMS/emailing is fast, browsing to find an information, copy the page adress or the part of the text I was looking for is fast, dial is fast, edit a document or creating one on the go -in the morning is fast, get it done and properly written is so easy it would be stupid to wait to be home or turn on my laptop... Which I barely use (to update my phone only, actually) sinc� I got my PlayBook. No need to get more into personals d�tails : right out the box, Every BlackBerry I've owned simplified my everyday life in so many ways that I would be fool to look for something Else when I have all I need in a compact size fitting in my hand.

    I am no doubt BlackBerry by Choice. Its due to the simplicity of the UI and the keyboard. Social networking is made simple when I use BlackBerry. The keyboard ensures accuracy and speed. Cant wait for BB10.

    When I chose BlackBerry, I chose it because all my friends had BlackBerry at the time, and the BBM hype was crazy. After getting used to it, I found the QWERTY keyboard immense. Very useful, I was achieveing a WPM count similar to when I was on my desktop! I always found BlackBerry reliable to use (hence I bought a Torch). In time though, due to problems with the carrier, I had to leave BlackBerry...
