Ai ai ai. Cant chat to my friend in Madagascar either on WhatsApp. :(

My my, how the mighty have fallen...

Not good for market shares, nor the the future of blackberry
 
I've been a bb fan for nearly 4 years now. I don't care if RIM's servers are off for a week. I don't mind waiting. Android,IOS..yuk! Once you go black... ;)
 
Hey BB users ... do you have your functionality back yet? My Whatsapp is working fine.

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.

Well BBM is epic dude, we have much more than bbm

1. email without worrying about the size of the attachments
2. browse all month long without having to worry if we have gone over our cap and will get a scary bill

The funniest thing is hearing the email or sms alert in a meeting, everyone looks at each other wondering who got a message :D.

What are we missing mike? Email, internet, bbm not sure what else we need. Generally our laptops should cover the missing bits. We have whatsapp as well plus we can even sms amazingly :p

What does the iphone or android offer? other than a high bandwidth bill. I laugh when i see 200mb bundles, 200mb is so last decade, we got uncapped.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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 ;-))

How can we follow international trends when 100mb bundles cost more than uncapped? :D. 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.

Is there a difference between iphone and android users, cos it seems like they always feel the need to say what phone they have. I'm happy with the few apps on my BB and don't need the millions required by iphone and android users to make me feel that i have a superior phone. It does what i need it to do, not what you they need theirs to use.
