SAY NO TO BLACKBERRY

The present craze maybe to buy a Blackberry as the favourite BBM is an overwhelming favourite of all, but m experience says quite the opposite. Nothing beats Nokia for that matter. Its battery life is unmatched, the phones are sturidier than the bricks used to construct Government buildings in India and extremely resistant to heat, stress, water and other forms of damage. However, the best part of it is like a Maruti car it can be repaired any where and any time. The components are cheap and affordable and unlike the other phones it can be trusted. My Blackberry has given me untold miseries over the Last one year. The software is flimsy and gets corrupted ever so often and the phone stalls like a cheap Chinese toy the moment you try to run more than one operation simultaneously. The battery life is really shabby, lasting less than #3 hrs of non- stop usage. The worst part is the hardware is really fickle and prone to damage. Guys, this is the Sheldon Cooper of mobile phones. Everyone's favourite, yet no one knows why. Everyone wants to see it yet it hasn't delivered yet. Now, to top all my other woes of the touch pad not working and the software getting corrupted, the phone itself refuses to switch on. On taking it to the service centre, they had a funny way of putting it. The phone is water damaged they said as the litmus paper placed inside had changed colours. When informed that it could have happened due to sweat as well, they just turned it around and asked me to go back to the old service station as that service station was apparently better. When informed that there was no other service station in Goa, they just gave up. Now,I'm just praying that the phone starts as all my data is in the phone and would get lost otherwise. Fingers crossed and swear to buy Nokia next time.
