Is BlackBerry a Black Eye?
The New York Times has an article discussing how BlackBerry users are so embarrassed about their devices that they hide them when in public. Now I've complained loads about my BlackBerry but that means I admit to the world that I have one.
The folks in the Times' article are worried that Android and iPhone users will think less of them. Poppycock! These are the same folks that have to a fancy, new car when their old one was perfectly fine, and have to have everything their neighbors have. Shallow.
If your BlackBerry works, use it. I hate mine but I've had the option to get a new phone for free from Verizon for eight months and still haven't pulled the trigger.
In the meantime I'll use my BlackBerry openly, mainly for e-mail but less frequently for voice. I'd browse, but the Internet is pretty much useless on the darn thing.
Am I too good or too rough on the Blackberry? You tell me at [email protected].
