WHY YOU SHOULD OR NOT USE A BLACKBERRY PHONE

With all the innovative trends going on in the phone market and with most of the headlines surrounding Blackberry less than positive these days, one can’t help wondering if sticking to or buying a Blackberry phone is a good idea. This article will hopefully help answer just that.

The Blackberry phone traditionally was targeted at business professionals only, they were not initially priced or developed for the everyday mobile phone user, but with the phone market competition becoming stiff, the Blackberry had to evolve to accommodate a wider market especially the young and social group. However, today the market is getting even tighter and recently the average Blackberry lover is having a hard time with android and iOS users for sticking to or even buying a Blackberry.

In my opinion, I still believe the Blackberry is still a good phone to buy or use, but it all depends on your needs and expectation as a consumer. I am going to give my reviews based on the following consumer markets

Social and Curious Consumers
If you love to chat and keep in touch with loved ones, organize events and outings, and stay connected to the social media 24hrs a day, the Blackberry is a very good choice to make when buying a Smartphone, it has a whole range of social apps for you to choose from. It comes preinstalled with the BBM messenger, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and Yahoo. The Blackberry can keep you busy all day. Its QWERTY keypad and button design will make chatting experience quick and fun.
The most important thing for me when it comes to using a Smartphone is communication and that is where I strongly believe you can't beat the Blackberry. Knocking out a tweet or Facebook message on the Blackberry takes seconds and I haven't found another OS that can offer me that ease of use and simplistic management and the phone also comes preinstalled with cool smiley faces and additional smiley packs are available free at the app world. If you are much of a chat person, be sure to take a charger with you, just in case you need to recharge your battery.

Busy and Productive Consumers
If you are a business oriented person, who loves to be up to date with mails, you should consider buying a Blackberry phone, this is because of the ease with which you can reply emails with a Blackberry. And yes you get your emails delivered almost instantly whenever a mail hits your mail box.

In terms of productivity applications, the Blackberry has a wonderful selection to choose from and with many now being BBM connected sharing information (advertising) with fellow Blackberry users is just a click away. From using a Blackberry as a business tool you are bound to get a lot compliments from customers that cannot believe how quickly you respond to email queries. in terms of customer service this goes down well and people appreciate a quick and reliable response.

Up-to-Date
if you love to be the first to get information and stay current with the news, weather and events all the time, the Blackberry is still a phone worth buying, with RSS feed support recent Blackberry phones will certainly allow you receive real-time updates on your favorite blogs and web sites. You can add RSS feeds directly from a web page or by using the Social Feeds application. With the Social Feeds application, you can stay up-to-date with your social networks and view your RSS feeds in one location

App Junkies/Game Lovers
If you love to experiment and toy with a lot of mobile apps or you just love to play cool games on your mobile phone, buying a Blackberry phone might not be a very good idea. This is because the blackberry OS has limited apps and games (For some reason, there are not many app developers out there that are interested in developing apps for the Blackberry OS). Besides that, a typical Blackberry phone does not have the necessary hardware to support or process HD games. I would recommend an iPhone for that or a high-end Nokia product for app variety.

Just the Basics
You know you belong to this category if the only thing you do with your phone is make/receive calls and receive/reply text messages. Users in this category can still fit in with a Blackberry, its threaded SMS view makes reading and replying text messages easy and simple, and the call log is easily accessible from anywhere in phone interface by just pressing the dial call button. With the universal search feature, you just need to type in any item you wish to access (from a contact, to text messages, to settings) and the phone brings it to view. The downside a lot of users in this category might find the phone a little complicated and confusing, but if you give it attention, in a short while, you would have mastered the basics of the phone.

I hope this article has been very helpful. As for me, I remain a Blackberry lover and I don’t think we would see the blackberry fading out of the phone market anytime soon, especially with the release of Blackberry 10, scheduled to be launched early 2013
