Most awesome Alarm Clock ever
Here, I am back to start bitching about another #fail gadget I own. Nearly a month back my mom gifted my father a Blackberry Curve 8520 on their wedding anniversary. Me happy, my mom happy but it was not the same with my father, my father hates phone with so many buttons, but he promised that he will start using the phone in a day or two but that day never came and that’s what made me decide to experience Blackberry phone and its (awe)some services. After getting permission from my mom, I got a new Tata Docomo connection with Blackberry service by spending Rs 900 + some talk-time value. This is how my journey towards Blackberry experience started.
First day:
I kept my iPhone aside and started playing with my papa’s all new Blackberry and all it’s services. Keyboard gave me some problem at first as I was used to a touch screen device but it was ok after few minutes of usage. As usual habit of geek, I tried to exploit as much as I can for near about a month.
Experience:
The bad part-
After using the phone for more than 10 days I realized, this phone is not for me as I didn’t got anything more, most of the services it provided was already there present on my iPhone. Now you may be asking me about the Push mail thing, really iPhone does in a better way, I get push notification(Boxcar) on it as soon as mail arrives to my inbox, after which according to the priority of the mail I open mail App. And the Blackberry Messenger is a good concept, but it was hardly any useful for me as most of my important contacts were using Nokia or iPhone( and Textie was the way to go) . Other than these two features Blackberry had no other feature to woo about. The Blackberry App World is a joke in front of Apple App Store, it has hardly any useful App and in India I had only access to the free Apps.
The good part-
Only one thing that impressed me was the Alarm application, it was by far the best App that Blackberry has ever invented. The App looks great and works great even. “Bedside Mode” is another awesome feature I like. I have been using this Alarm for near about a month and it works perfect. I should admit that it is the best Alarm device I have ever seen till date. I have never missed my morning walks and all credit goes to the Alarm App.
I must say: ” I have spent nearly about Rs 15K on best Alarm device in the world”.
My say:
So, if you have ever used iPhone in your life and you have some more money in your piggy bank, then go out and get this best Alarm device made ever, this makes you wake up earlier and makes you slim even. Or else never look at a Blackberry device ever.
And to all Blackberry fanboys: “Get a iPhone, get a life”.
