Are you a crackberry?
My first Blackberry was the Curve 8520, the entry level Blackberry. It was the cheapest in the current Blackbery range of phones and I bought it with a Maxis smartphone promotion.
Not even a month after that - probably 3 weeks or so the phone was broken because it fell out my car while I was driving. Well actually it was on the car roof because I forgot that I left it there and drove off. Haha...
Then, I decided to opt for the Curve 3G or 9300. I installed the new OS6 - and its an awesome phone if you are about to start crackberrying. The 3G speed comes in very handy if you want to go through your Twitter or Facebook pages in no wi-fi areas. Also, the specs are slightly better so I can load a lot of things in the phone. And run more apps simultaneously.
Since I'm the only one in my gang in the office to own a blackberry, I received plenty of sarcastic remarks from my colleagues. Mostly because they are all I Phone 4 users. I'm like the only bb among the Ips. In my team of course. Overall - the whole department - I would guess that everyone already owns either an Iphone or a Blackberry. The combination is somehow ideal.
At the same time, I have also developed some interest with the Android platform or OS. I particularly liked the HTC models compared to the Samsungs, especially the Galaxy Ace. I have yet to get my hands on a Samsung Galaxy S and cekidaut.
Fyi, just a few nights ago, I had the privilege to have dinner with Ieta and her husband; Aqie.
We were very close back in DiGi. Also because we've had the same irritating boss which I prefer not to name here.
Anyways, Ieta brought a Galaxy Tab with her and I was given the opportunity to play with it for a while.
The clarity of the display, the screen orientation switch, and smoothness are all just impressive features of the Tab. The size is nice, only thing is that it won't fit in my pocket.
One setback I found about the Android OS is that over time you will still have to wipe or format the device, because the graphics will start to slow down. Well, to be honest all smartphones requires a wipe once in a while.
Here's why.
Memory used by the OS will eventually have junk files which the OS itself cannot clean. Over time, this will start to accumulate and affect other applications on your phone, and when the time comes you just need to format it.
As scary as it may sound, this actually applies to our most common Operating System - Windows. Despite defragmenting memory, cleanup and security softwares a format or wipe is simply inevitable.
I have wiped mine once while using the Curve 3G and it became so much better afterwards.

A friend of mine in Bangsar was selling off a Blackberry Torch for his friend. I remember him mentioning it a few weeks back after seeing the box on his study desk.
I had a look at the condition and it was brand new. Well it was probably only used for a week. Probably less. Haha.
With this fateful event, my options changed drastically.
Initially, I was contemplating to get a Galaxy S or Iphone 3GS. Something that would complement my Blackberry Curve 3G. Also, to play some games haha.
But after seeing the Blackberry Torch and with the good offer I got, I took it right away. He he he...
With that, its not an Android or Iphone pursuit anymore - at least not for me at this point in time. However, if I had the money, probably - I would get a Tab, Playbook or Ipad 2 - which is my new wishlist. Hopefully someone will buy it for me as a birthday gift. Muahahahaha.
My 2 rupees.
