7 things I hate about Blackberries


I was listening to Miley Cyrus's song called 7 Things (and no, this blog post isn't about her) and this made me think about my Blackberry. It appears to me that my Blackberry and I are in a relationship, pathetic fallacy much?.I actually treat it as though it were human. I named and it never leaves my side (except when I'm bathing). It was always there for me especially in my times of boredom. Our first encounter was indeed love at first sight, but then, like any typical relationship the flaws and incompatible would come to light as we tried to co-exist. So here is my ranting list about the 7 thing I hate about Blackberries :
  1. They freeze a lot- Ugh, this annoys me the most. I have to be constantly clearing the log and doing numerous amount of battery pulls.
  2. Horrible web browser (the native one)- If you don't have Opera mini web browser then there would be a lot of stuff you couldn't do on these 'smartphones.'
  3. Not so wonderful graphics for the apps- Maybe I'm being biased about this one but compared to iPhone, the apps aren't so 'vista' looking.
  4. For a smartphone, it's kind of hard to watch videos on it- As in most of the Blackberries can't really load videos properly.
  5. They are over priced- I guess they weren't priced for their functions but for their popularity. You can thank Kim Kardashian for this.
  6. Service required to utilize some apps- The Blackberry service is somewhat expensive and without it, you can't access the 'cool' apps like Blackberry Messenger, Facebook for Blackberry and Twitter for Blackberry.
  7. Last but not least, "the 7th thing I hate the most...you make me love you."- Yea, Blackberries are addicting and I hate that I'm addicted and always thinking about purchasing another.
Research In Motion (RIM) needs to do much more research to improve the Blackberry. I see they have a new Blackberry called The Blackberry Torch. There isn't anything new about except that it has Operation System 6 along with the RECYCLED features. They literally that gave it a vista look to attract their BB slaves. IMAGE is definitely everything.
