BlackBerry Archives — Gsm & 4G LTE but not work....Mine worked fine with EE because they still offer BIS, but I ercently switched to BT and because they don't have BIS my phone freezes upon boot up after a wipe (at the stage where you are signing in etc....)
Not mine, I don't have a sim in mine right now so no BIS, no freezeup. But then I havent wiped mine in over a year. I DID have issues with the rebooting progress bar jamming around 75% but not now and also it seemed to happen with Whatsapp active.

Real time communications availability may have taken a back seat to media consumption, in recent years, but masses are still learning how this new technology can benefit their lives. No one knows what the future looks like but it's possible that some rediscovery of addictive communications may, one day, find appreciation among the masses... ?? One day? One decade?? One century???
By "Real Time" communication, I guess we could refer to this also as Old Time Communication equivalent to sending smoke signals ;) IF we are talking about actual phone calls then I agree, people have strayed from this phenomenon. I have friends in their 20's and they never and I mean NEVER do phone calls unless their elderly relatives phone them, and even then they likely don't know what the sound means :p Everything is done through apps now, ie Whatsapp, Facebook Messenger App, etc and with these you can also do phone or video calls. So I wonder if APPS can count as "Real Time" or Old Time communication? I know that I don't like when a friend requests a video chat in Facebook Messenger because you have to make sure you have a shirt on and your hair is perfect, hey....I am vain that way :p But chances are they always "call" by video right when it is inconvienient, so I find myself calling them back with Old Time phone calls.
Apps are the future ;) People have got so far away from Real Time communication that it's more of a curiousity to many. Still they remain essential for more important aspects of communication IMO, like a family tradegy, I mean are they going to text Grandma if someone is in the hospital? No, of course not :)
I wonder if they foresaw that apps would be closing brick and mortar stores, banks, grocery stores, etc. If we said that 10 years ago people would have laughed at us.
We might be doomed ;)
I think many people are like myself and felt overwhelmed by all the apps and constand BING BING RING BEEP BLEEP on the glass slabs and if this happens there is NO better device than the 9900 still IMO! Even if certain apps may NOT work, this makes it even BETTER to get away from all the stress of notifications because it is a device more designed for Real Time Communication.....as you say.
Hey Dallin, there is your next blog topic :)
