Like really, how long will you remain loyal to BlackBerry? What's your breaking point? Or are you going stay a BB users "until death "of Blackberry", do you part?
Enough of excuses, it's high time BlackBerry started delivering the latest top notch mobile devices on time. Next year 2015 will be my break point.
I left my 9650 for the iPhone when it was first released on Verizon and have now happily returned to BlackBerry for the Q10. I plan to be with BlackBerry for a while now. I despise my iPhone compared to this device.
I'm not sure if it's loyalty. I just love their products. I've had my Z10 for a year now and I still can't put it down. Other devices are ok but I just love my BlackBerry devices the best. Given how much I love my Z10 and BlackBerry 10, I'm sure it will be a long time until I upgrade. When I do it will most likely be for the Z10 successor.
I love Blackberry devices. Started with a Curve, then a second Curve, now my Z10. Took me a while to get used to the touch screen instead of the qwerty, but there is no other make that appeals to me. Hate android with a passion. Wouldn't waste my money on an iphone. Just love Blackberry.
I'll keep using my blackberries everyday, as long as the company keeps going.
I also use android phones and Nokia. But and this is a big But.. I get the most pleasure and satisfaction from my BlackBerry products.. it ain't about loyalty it's what works best for what you need.
In a few weeks I will be upgrading to the Z30. Done a lot of soul searching but I've been with BB for 6 years now and cannot find anything better for my requirements.
Hard to answer. Before I was Crackberry, I was a SonyEricsson fan, good phones, good cameras, good battery life, great phones for music with very good accesories, I had many phones from them K700i, G502, W850i, T700,C510, W902. But then I discovered the Blackberry and the comunication possibilities that is offering, it was love at first sight. First Blackberry was the 8900 Curve, then Bold 9700, then Curve 9320, then Bold 9900 and finally the Q5. I also had a Curve 8520 as a secondary phone. For as long as Blackberry will offer me comunication (BB style), good battery life, that typing experience that I love and reliable hardware, I am Crackberry 4 life.
I tried other phones and other operating system like the HTC Desire or the iPhone 3GS (I had the Curve 8900 at that time) but even though the specs were better on paper and the screens were brighter none of them could give me that feeling of confort and in the same time freedom that the Blackberry gave me. Recently I had a Samsung Galaxy S3 for about 2-3 weeks, the phone is nice, big screean, nice colors, but it's not practical to use it (at least not for me), and it's very fragile, not very well build, I don't get that solid fealling that all my Blackberry's gave me over the years. Sold the Samsung and both a Q5!
Didn't regret for a moment I both the Q5 even though the Blackberry 10 experience it's very diferent than a Legacy Blackberry, I needed some time to adapt. But to be onest it's the most intuitive OS out there and the typing experience is the best, so if Blackberry will continue to be Blackberry as we know it I will probably stay loial forever.
