My husband LOVES his Blackberry - I think he refers to it as his 'crackberry' since it's so addicting! Great article, David!
I've been using a Blackberry since their first model that was really a beeper/pager that gave you emails. I supported them in the IT dept for about 10 years. I love them. It's not complicated. If you text message on your phone, and know how to do it, I would suggest that you get the flip top model because it's most like your old phone. I have found that most cell phone users find the regular model more cumbersome. ie. my wife does not like to use it as a phone because it's wider, etc. In any case, usually the wireless carrier will let you return it in 30 days, no ? asked. I can help you out with questions of issues if you want to give it a try. On the other hand, you may like an iPhone better. Again, make sure they will let you try it and bring it back if you don't like it...any kind.
I thought I would get a blackberry but when I went to look at it at the phone store..it just looked to complicated!
Thank you for reading and commenting!
I shall check all of them soon.
