Angry Birds on Blackberry (hilarious)

[Alaerian]

I know it depends on where you're from and how old you are but I only know 1 person over the age of 20 with an iPhone. Everyone else I know and want to message ha a blackberry.

I'm 29. A friend I work with is 29. My aunt is 36. My sister is 26. My cousin is 31.

These are just a few of the people I know with iPhones, ranging from the first generation (mine) up through 3GS.

I know not a single person (that I know of) with a Blackberry of any type.

I live in Waterloo, Ontario. Does that shed any light?

[marksman]

Btw, I'm 33yrs old and that may be why I don't see many people at all with an iPhone.

That is not likely the reason.

 

[deeesea]

What irritates me the most is that some people believe "iPhone or NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY BE BETTER AT ANYTHING!"

It's hard for some people to realize not everything has to be compared to or used for the same function as an iPhone.

I love my iPhone and my BlackBerry because I simply think they accomplish different tasks better..

There needs to be more open-minded people like you in this forum haha. Too many fanboys (who believe it's apple or nothing) around the forum.

Its great and all that you guys love your BB's and BBM but what are you doing posting and reading an iphone section then?
Dont try to convince yourself your BB is better, sooner or later you will get an iphone

I would say a majority of people with BlackBerry's don't even install additional apps they just use what's natively on the phone because they use the phone to get things done instead of play with fart apps all day.

HEY HEY HEY!


Why do you have to bring fart apps into this? They did nothing to you!

 

[SoraLimit]

+1.

Except for me it's more like 99% of my friends. Blackberry had its turn wit the younger crowd now I rarely see a younger person with a blackberry. All I see are iPhones. Blackberry's are going to continuously fade out to the younger crowd because it's not a portable gaming system or a good iPod. Seriously RIM, when are you going to see that brickbreaker is getting old. Blackberry is more for the business type older crowd. I see everyone talk about BBM as being the greatest thing since sliced bread. I really don't understand it. My unlimited text messaging plan does just fun texting anyone and everyone I want.

What's weird is that I see Blackberries and iPhone equally. However, I barely see Android.

Angry Birds needs a serious retina display update. They had like 3 updates since the launch of the iPhone 4 and no graphics update. Lazy developers.

According to Pocketgamer, Rovio already sent an update for Game Center and Retina Display and is waiting approval from Apple.

What if 99% of people dont have BBM, then how does that help me? OWNED

dumbest thing i've heard.

what i'm trying to say is, this is an ALTERNATIVE to texting... and it's a great thing. people who haven't used it shouldn't even be in this discussion.

I know it depends on where you're from and how old you are but I only know 1 person over the age of 20 with an iPhone.

I'm 48, and left BB for the iPhone. My friends who have iPhones: 47, 36, 31, 44, 53, 46 years old. Brother-in-law is 37, left BB for the iPhone (twice). One friend is 52 and has a Droid. The only one I know who has a BB is 51 years old, and has it supplied to him through work (mandatory that he carries it). Number of friends who use BBM: Zero. When the BB was my primary phone, my brother-in-law was the only one who used BBM - all the rest of my text communications were through SMS/MMS.

Maybe it does depend on how old you are - I don't personally know a single person under the age of 20 with an iPhone...but then again, I don't hang out with any people under the age of 20.

 

[shandyman]

..also the ease of use for push email.

push email on the iphone is easy to use too.............

Many people who I know work in professional jobs and we all know the popularity of BB in business.

I suppose if you don't run in circles with people who have professional business jobs then you may not know many friends who use BB. About 20 out of the 30 contacts on my BBM list have BB because that is what they use for work. And about half of those people work for RIM.

I suppose if most of my friends worked at wall mart or in the service industry they. May not have BB either. I'm not sure what the non-professional sector uses....probably a phone that plays games would be important to them.

 

[rdowns]

Seriously, are you guys like 6? BTW, my father can kick your father's ass.

Agreed..

I do have to say though, everytime I hear about this BBM thing all I can think about is "Bowel Movement", what a horrible name to give it. I'm not a tech geek at all, I just like great products that work, which is why I got an iphone 2 years ago. I know a lot of people, 2 of them have Blackberries, and they remind me of those ugly phones I used to see lots of people using like ten years ago, I don't know, why not put wooden wheels on your car while your at it? To each his own, I just don't get why anybody would buy a Blackberry over an iphone, any Android phone, a Nokia, etc. Kind of like buying a VCR or a 8 track.

 

[budfoot]

The death-knell to blackberry will come with a RIM outage. Who in their right mind developed the entire device, BES, and OS with a single point of failure is beyond me.

Blackberries are great. Until the NOC goes down for a week and no one anywhere with a berry gets emails, texts, BBM, or anything else.

I have 30 people on my BBM list. And in all seriousness I would switch to an iPhone for the media options but I would be so annoyed with losing BBM and also the ease of use for push email.

As someone said earlier.....YMMV. For me the perfect world is my BB and my iPod Touch.

I also have the iPad and my MBP too!

Btw, I'm 33yrs old and that may be why I don't see many people at all with an iPhone.

Maybe you need to get out more?

My wife and I, sister in law, brother in law and his wife and many other friends have iPhones and we are all over 35.

Wow what a concept, apple fanboys on an apple forum. I don't suppose there are many blackberry fanboys lurking around the blackberry forums or the android fanboys lurking around the android forums. If the fanboy attitudes bother you, then you could always leave. Just a suggestion from your friendly apple fanboy.

 

[RossMc]

Most people I know with a Blackberry are now using Ping Chat instead of BBM as it allows conversations to others with a Blackberry but also with people who have an iPhone as well.

.

The Curve and the Pearl had great penetration in Canada while iPhone was making waves in the US in 2007/2008. By the time iPhone came out in Canada, Rogers was charging an arm and a leg and a significant number of people were already using BBM and didn't make the move.

Canadians are largely a blackberry consumer but its slowly changing with iPhone4. Doesn't hurt that RIM employs alot of people in the GTA/Waterloo area.

Senseless release of a game for a business platform on failing/antiquated mobile provider. Have fun in here guys.

Who said BlackBerry is better? Go back and read what was actually posted... I carry both a BlackBerry AND an iPhone.. I LOVE THEM BOTH but for very different reasons.

BlackBerry and iPhones are radically different handsets.. Doesn't mean one is better than the other, just means they are different.

I'm trying to be open minded about it, but, clearly I'm in the company of "Apple or nothing" folks..

For the record, I own a MBP, Mac Pro, MB, iPad and iPhone so clearly I like Apple products... All I'm saying is, people need to be a bit open minded and accept the fact that some devices do "some things" better than iPhones..

Single point of failure? Yeah I'm sure RIM has 1 server sitting in Ontario that all blackberry's go through with no redundancy.. Get real.

If I followed your mentality, I could say ALL phones have a single point of failure being the carrier (ie, AT&T, Verizon, Telus, Rogers etc). If say AT&T went down, millions of phones would be dead in the water.. OMG, how can we have such a single point of failure in the system?

Well, to be fair, I can think of no full AT&T failure, but there have been dozens of Blackberry outages. There were two back in December that had long downtimes, one in March, and then I stopped paying attention.

While as you say, it's obvious RIM doesn't have one server running the whole show, that doesn't change the fact that RIM is a single point of failure for all Blackberries nationwide. If RIM goes down, so does your device. Not a good situation.

I wasn't talking directly to you but in general bud. Go back and read my post
You already got an iPhone so you're not in the group I was talking about.
