How Many of You Have Blackberries?

**JasonKey** · 05-2-2007, 09:20 PM

Looking at some interesting functionality in Blackberries, and am curious how many of you folks have one .. if any

Thanks

Jason

Oh man, I thought you were talking about the actual berry. I was like "what kind of question is that? Is he on crack? Does he grow blackberries in his basement?" I'm actually kind of relieved you're talking about a little palm pilot/cell phone.

**Doug31** · 05-2-2007, 09:25 PM

I was thinking berries as well, but thought that couldn't be it since he said, "A Blackberry," but I seriously had no idea what kind of bBlackberry he was talking about lol. So, obviously, I don't have one.

Ever since I heard about one of those whore celebrities [I think it was Paris Hilton or Jessica Simpson?..] having a Blackberry, I have had no desire to own one.

They seem unnecessary, anyway.

She had a sidekick.

Also, a celebrity owning a product deterred you from getting one?

Better go sell your car.

And your house.

And your clothes.

Perhaps I should look and see what other types of cellphones folks DO have.

With no comments saying folks DO have them, I guess I can take it that most of the FFR crowd doesn't have one.

Interesting ....

**stretchypanda** · 05-2-2007, 10:37 PM

My dad has one, and I think Guido's brother has one.

I've got a SYNC.

Perhaps I should ask, who is going ga ga over an iPhone?

banditcom · 05-2-2007, 11:04 PM

I have the Samsung a990. Verizon.

Though they aren't making anymore now. Wasn't a big fan of a Blackberry-type phone. I have no use for one at the moment plus carrying that sucker around would be a burden to me.

I have the Blackberry Pearl, and it's @#^$ing garbage.

Don't buy a Pearl, don't buy a Blackjack, don't buy an iPhone.

Buy a perfectly functional $50 phone, and believe me, you'll be happy you didn't spend any more.

The old phone I have still works great and functions perfectly fine, while my $400 Pearl is ridiculously complicated for simple functions and has numerous problems. So what if my old phone can't browse primitive HTML or tapdance while banging a hooker? It has a working alarm, is quick and easy, and is cheap. I'm not a cheap kind of guy, but I find it far more worth it to spend next to nothing on a phone and instead spend all that extra money on components for a new computer... $400 is a lot in parts. Just built a computer for somebody, and Fry's had a sale going on: CPU+Motherboard combo, $425, 2.8Ghz Dual Core AMD Athalon 5600+ with an ASUS Crosshair motherboard.

The state trooper driving New Jersey's governor's car when it crashed has a Blackberry. He was also having an affair with another policeman's wife, and had just found out the husband knew a couple days before the accident. HOPE HE DIDN'T GET A TEXT FROM THE GUY THAT WOULD DISTRACT HIM FROM DRIVING.

AriesMalvis · 05-3-2007, 03:13 AM

i was thinking about getting one...
i have a sidekick 3

and while im not crazy about the iphone
i might want that one...

Izzy-chandess · 05-3-2007, 03:53 AM

I have a RAZR... not like that's impressive...

g4z33b0 · 05-3-2007, 07:29 AM

My dad got one for free and gave it to me, I tried it for awhile and found it too big and useless. Maybe they are good for adults who want to be constantly working, but my cell phone is just fine.

madmatt621 · 05-3-2007, 08:50 AM

Hey Jason, I believe you have enough info to have a poll next time.

sexaypickle · 05-3-2007, 12:17 PM

The Blackberry sucks, it's only for those business men that want to use their phones as computers, and have all their business, personal, and whatever emails in their phone. It is waaaaay too complicated as just a phone. You can't set personal ringers(well there is a way to, but it is so ****ing complicated, I just gave up when I had it) I took it back and got the Dash.

OrganisM · 05-3-2007, 01:02 PM

Keep in mind that there's different models of the Blackberry.

I have the far more compact Pearl.
