Why do celebs only use blackberrys and iphones

[Jesus Shuttlesworth]

You have no idea what you are missing. Just test drive a high end android/iphone or windows phone and I bet you won't return it before the trial period.

I've played with them all. They're all cool devices. But none of that cool shyt I was doing was a necessity. Just some shyt to play with. I need utility apps, not fart apps.

I contemplated opening up another line on my account just to get an iPhone because I knew I wasn't giving up my BlackBerry, especially my data plan.

When I get to the point where there is something I want my phone to do and it can't, I'll look more seriously for a replacement. But I really don't have any complaints.

That's why I'm asking though. Can someone give me an example of what I'm missing. The homie said voice GPS but I have that. What is so great about these other platforms that would make me forsake my baby?

I have Garmin on my phone for voice turn by turn and have google maps too. And it's a touchscreen. Camera? Meh, mine is fine. Not that important to me.

:kanye shrug: whatever works for you, but that doesn't mean all the extra stuff that smart phones do are unnecessary, like I said I have felt with all three and the iPhone allows me to do everything I want and then some.. Also i can't name one thing it really depends on what you like to do with your phone, like watching movies is better on smartphones and I have noticed the apps that are on other phones are better on the iphone

Basically the iPhone is a name brand with great quality. Anyone can buy an android cause the quality is sub par. Not everyone can get an iPhone. Why would a celeb drive a Kia when they can drive a Beamer?

Can you explain to me how anyone that wants an iPhone can't get one when they cost $200 fukking dollars on contract or are even free if you want an older model being sold right alongside Androids at the same pricepoint? Is there a special credit check outside of the normal credit check everyone is subjected to for an iPhone?

Its stupidity like this that gives all apple heads a bad name. Faux-elitism over a fukking telephone. Silicon, metal and glass. Seriously?

That's why I'm asking though. Can someone give me an example of what I'm missing. The homie said voice GPS but I have that. What is so great about these other platforms that would make me forsake my baby?

If you're happy, then you don't need anyone to sell you on anything. Enjoy your BB.

Nah I don't mean unnecessary. You do realize a BlackBerry is a smartphone too right? I'm asking what an Android or iPhone can do that a BlackBerry can't. I know about the touchscreen factor but my BB is a full touchscreen. I watch movies on my phone just like you.

To me, it is what it is and to each his own. I use a BlackBerry but I know iPhones and Androids are nice devices too. Most people shyt on BB's though that's why I don't even get involved with these phone wars. I was just asking for info not so I could say RIM gang at the end of my post.

Oh fa sho. I'm not trying to be convinced. I'm just asking questions about other products. Nothing wrong with sharing a lil info.

I have a bb 9900 and it has turn by turn navi. In fact blackberry traffic is the best turn by turn navi out there for a smart phone

The only reason android even blew up is because people at the time could not afford iPhones or did not want AT&T. So they got an Android phone as an alternative. Rich people could afford an iPhones. Stop acting like Android came out good and did not suck for the first few years.

Is someone bragging about having decent navigation on a Blackberry? WTF My Navi turn by turn directions are excellent....really made things easy last month in Miami.

they was price the same at $200. It was more because of the iphone not being available on all carriers.
