iPhone Users Switch To Blackberry But They Went Back To Apple's Smartphone Because The Blinking Red Light Haunts Them!

Tags

Blackberry fans out there will be happy upon hearing this news, iPhone users are switching back to Blackberry as the mobile phone brand makes a comeback in 2014. They said, "The Blackberry's flashing red light used to haunts me." A blogger and product user, Scott Mayerowitz  writes,

It easy for me to use my blackberry, typing with one hand composing message while hiding it to the table while eating, but that was four years ago.

Now, I am a loyal iphone user, and just bought my second phone from Apple. I get my personal and work email on it. I can also share my tweets and photos of my travels on Instagram. Handling my boarding passes and hotel reservations and all apps that help me manage my trips are on my phone too.

But this past week, I got back to my Blackberry ways to test the company's latest model, the Classic. This device is a return to its roots: this device is made for those who like the physical keyboard and don't like the touch screen features by other iphone and android users.

My friend heather Montminy tries the Classic when she saw me testing it. Montminy is a Blackberry user for twelve (12) years and carried two phones: an iphone for her personal and a Blackberry for work.

Going back to a physical keyboard this past week turned out to be awkward for me. Yes, I liked that while in another program, the device of Blackberry gave me banner to notify me of my email received. And the blinking red was yet honestly comforting but I am not that faster at typing with the physical keyboard.

And more issues to Blackberry, they lacks several apps I've come to depend on. Apps need to be tweaked for the phone's 3-5 inch screen.

Maybe if I never got the taste of the iphones and all apps available for it, maybe I'll be the first in line for a Classic.
