My BlackBerry Back story

Back story:  my old, hand-me down, BlackBerry died in June.  Le mort.  It had a long and good life (years and years of life actually).  And, I’ll be honest, this summer I cheated on RIM with some meaningless, other smart device, flings.

I tried an android (which wouldn’t work with my e-mail thus my summer of late replies). He was sleek but took forever to start up (and who wants to wake up with someone lazy?) #FAIL

I tried an i-phone (which didn’t have an auto off at night – battery was constantly low).  He was good but his screen kept turning my “the” into “tge” which drove me insane. #FAIL

And in all my cheating…I kept comparing…and every new device kept coming up short.  BlackBerry can you forgive me? I was wrong.

I know all those other devices had big apps (but sometimes a girl doesn’t need big she needs fast, powerful and constant. over. and. over.)

I went astray and in my cheating I realized what I need most.  I need auto on/off.  I need a keypad.  I need vibration*.

*so not to wake the baby!  obviously.

I’m ashamed to say I texted around this summer.  But I’m back in bed with BlackBerry.

And if you want me to prove it – PIN me – I’ll vibrate – I mean my BlackBerry 7 will vibrate – obviously I meant the BB7 🙂

Disclosure: RIM provided a BlackBerry 7 smartphone.  This is part 1 of a review series.
