Crapberry part two + 02 rubbish
In my previous post about Blackberry and RIM I forgot to add the following insights:
- My Blackberry crashes regularly so I have to frequently reboot it by removing the battery, a 5 minute procedure
- The keyboard often doesn’t work so I can’t actually use it like a phone and actually answer a call
- Their batteries have got worse and worse over the years and now seem to need recharging more regularly
- I hate Facebook automatically synchronising with my work calendar so it fills up with the birthdays of people I haven’t seen since 1969 who asked to be my friend five years ago
I have also been told that I-Phone’s have always synchronised with PC’s since launch whilst Blackberry’s could only do so late in 2011, and even now, still can’t do this.
PS: My Blackberry collapsed on Sunday, weighed down as it was with the entertainment software that stops me using the device for what it used to be truly great at: a work device. So I called, O2 my provider, and they sent me a replacement device on Monday morning. So far so good. Except the device they sent me stopped working today because the battery doesn’t work. That’s three fatal problems with my device in six months. No wonder they’re going out of business…
