Yeah agreed. Not a fan of BB at all. I suppose they have their place (BBM).
Well, I don't think a blackberry is that bad. Specially if you know lots of people with blackberries as well. Then again there's whatsapp which makes all smartphones able to talk to one another cheaply.
It all depends on your needs bud. If that phone can do everything you want it to do then by all means get it. It's not like it's a bad phone. There are better but then again you pay a hell of a lot more for them. It's basically all about your needs.
My gf has one and apart from it freezing (I think this is coz of all the millions of themes and stuff she loads on) it's a really solid phone. I know other people who are not as appworld crazy as her and they have no issues.
im stuck at the mo my upgrade is available but i want to wait for the Galaxy S3 as the HTC one X is a bit of a let down for me ( non removable battery and no sd card = face palm )
Reminds me of the one time I forgot to make a backup before I jailbroke my iphone using another rom to "restore" to...meaning I lost all my contacts, messages, photos etc. Was so angry with myself. Having a backup solution is vital. And having a removable battery is like being able to pull the plug on your computer if something goes wrong...who hasn't done that?
