Blueberry Bytes

I have been having this argument for a longtime. You know what I give up. I seriously understand preferences but please when something is better I honestly think people should consider it. I heard a saying "once you go blackberry there's no going back" . Can't remember the sources but it was definitely on facebook.

I understand that a device that can send and receive emails (well encrypted),
chat and browse the web should have been 10 years ago. But looking into 2010 and still calling that a hip mobile device would make me think you ha been left in the stone age. That's right I'm referring to the blueberry(blackberry for some). The RIM is a really solid company for thinking up and implementing the blackberry idea when they did so. Because as of when it was launched,l it made winMO look really bad and Nokia's symbianOS like a baby's toy. But in a world of fast growing technology, the blueberry (IMO) is two thousand and late. Times have passed and every phone out there can send and receive emails. Ah yes the ideal of so would add, and I'll say check back in 2005 and see what winMO was offering. OK let's just say they didn't call it push or it wasn't as effective as it is now bur then your mails still showed up before your boss broke your back or the super important client go on the plane.
Then the BBmessenger service, OK I'll give them that. The idea of creating a walkie-talkie multimedia based service so that BB user round the world could communicate free of charge (mind you a paid data plan must be active so I won't say free). They can send pics,videos and text at the click a button and all you need to know about person is he/her pin. I personally still think it's brilliant but with new cross platform services springing up it's not so "whats-apps". Mind you that's the name of one of the few I have tried on the iPhone.

The cross platform idea some is being able to communicate with other smart phone users running either the Android OS, iPhone OS or win MO. One really cool on to check out is Pingchat(only available on the iPhone presently), BuzzMe and whats-app. So talking about a singular chat client, that should become obsolete in the not so distant future. Think about it for a second, you have a blackberry with BB messenger and all your work folks have BBs' but most of your friends have either android, win Mo or probably the iPhone. So you are stuck with just your work folks when you are looking to have a good chat( that must suck) oh yes. You'll end up saying I have got my trusty Yahoo messenger. There now you are of you wonderful BB service. That said what does the BB offer.
In all the blueberry isn't at all bad, I love the idea behind it, the company in questing(RIM) . But when I get people talking down other devices because you have a full qwerty keyboard, email service and a messenger. I ask myself... Have they met the iPhone, or the HTC HD2? There are probably a lot more devices I could whip up and even the tingling sensation I get from thinking about the first windows 7 phone out matches any feelings or hearing about any blueberry device or OS update.
In all this post is not trying to water down the blackberry, it's just make the obvious clear at to why all the hype on suck a device , when there are loads of mobile gadgets out there that can deliver far more than the blackberry could and even with more multimedia and application feature.
