Lol this month so far I used 500kb. And that it drains battery life is also moot. Just put the phone in battery saver mode.I find it hilarious that a phone needs to be connected 24/7 to the internet in order to receive IMs![]()
I got issues again.
What is intertesting, is that it seems
that only developing countries are
efected. Makes one think how impotant
is this market for RIM.

Who said anything about that? The point is that without BIS, Blackberrys are mediocre devices. Once there are other mobile uncapped products available, the only thing that BBs will have going for them is BBM, and even that is split 50/50 with apps like WhatsApp gaining popularity.
What do you use?

BB users are constantly telling me how much better their phones are than my Android phone and how i'm stupid for not getting a BB like the rest of sheeple around.
Who the hell cares what phone you have? When people tell you a Blackberry is better and you should get one, tell them to piss off or whatever you want. Don't bring your anger online and try to tell people how crap a Blackberry is? Seriously, how old are you? If you don't like a product then don't use it. By saying how crap a BB is and how good android is, you're doing basically exactly the same as the person who told you to get a BB.
I have a BB because it has all the features that I NEED. I know it's not near as good as most other phones, but it fills my needs. I don't want a ton of ****ty apps that I won't use anyway and for R60 a month, it's a steal for the amount of data I use. So each to his own.
You still need to pay for BIS to use Opera Mini!
Without BIS/BES a BB can't access the internet
Yes - I tried to access the internet without BIS - no go.
Yes - I owned a BB (don't tell anyone ;-))
What is the purpose of your post? That Android is much better. You just as bad the people you say are trying to push BB down your throat.
Android users always complain that the people in SA aren't following international trends, ie buying android and iphones, yet they call people who go against this trend sheep? Who are the real sheep here...

How can we follow international trends when 100mb bundles cost more than uncapped?. Crazy stuff. The only trend BB users follow is whatever saves us money. So if you show me a droid device with uncapped internet bring it on until then BB is the most viable solution for the majority of us who don't have wifi spots on every corner and who don't like to waste money on expensive bundles.

When you see an article on mybb about blackberry you can be sure an android fanboy is gonna come try and tell you why YOU need an android. Can the BB haters give it a rest, we know we have other options, a lot of us have experienced the other options. We prefer the bb package. get over it.
