Classic review

LimoMike

To each their own Mr Reviewer.

I love my Classic already. Its exactly what I needed, like an updated Bold 9900. The only thing I didn't like was being forced to give up my Blackberry email address.
I have a nice Android phone for multimedia, this one is my business phone and it is a powerhouse for my uses.

Sincerely,
@Mpls_LimoMike

I'm pretty sure the point of the review was that it's a great business phone, but not the best multimedia phone, which you just said. He didn't say it was a bad phone or that you don't need it. He wasn't tearing down the exact phone you need.

Relax, it kinda sounds like you're personally offended by this review.

Well, yes, if you don't mind carrying two phones all the time, then of course it's great. I can't imagine doing that myself. I know people who do, but I don't think they would if they had a choice. I don't think anyone should have to. That doesn't seem like a high bar to me.

In my line of work two phone lines is a must, and I actually have a 3rd phone.
IMO there is no one phone that does it all, so having a couple different good ones is having the best of two worlds.

What *exactly* do you NEED with Blackberry, that an iPhone or Android phone can't already do, mimic or otherwise do better - let alone provide you with a vast array of other content?


I'm being sincere here for a moment. I had the Bold 9900 - I had it bridged to a Playbook. The phone looked classy, and that was about it. Beyond texting and emails, it wasn't that great.


On an iPhone I can more quickly text, email, browse the web, play games (even though I don't - I *COULD* though) - mus...

On my Blackberry Classic I also can quickly text, email, browse the web, play (a few) games (I don't play them on my Android phone, like I care about some angry birds). It doesn't have stereo speakers but headphone quality is fine. It plays high-quality mkv videos perfectly, and has a better camera than my HTC One (m7).

For content, Blackberry OS 10 carries most of what I use; it has the Fly Delta app, it has Soundcloud, it has the Plantronics app for my bluetooth, its got Facebook, Twitter, You Tube, Maps, Weather, a calculator, Adobe Reader, Docs to Go, and a speedy browser!

Would I like it to have a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 64-bit system chip, of course I would.

If Blackberry would get Square onboard with a credit card reader, I'd...

Why yes, yes I did. I compared personal preference and "taste" to a phone. Canada Dry being the LEAST popular (refer to market share) and the other two being the big boys and giants of the industry.


He simply prefers his Classic and can't just admit that. He has no evidence behind it - other than subjective opinion.

If you gonna do a comparison you use the same type of procuct so it shoulda been something like RC Cola or someting else cola not Canada dry

I really was trying to remember the name of the damn cola to be honest - but it slipped my mind (knew it started with an "R" though) - anyways, Canada Dry popped into mind as nasty, disgusting and unpopular in contrast to Coke and Pepsi, so attacking gingerale I did!



Really though - It wasn't the best analogy, but I was slightly drunk, so eh, I get a free pass.
