Default Why is everyone so obsessed with BlackBerries?
They're not the biggest pile of piss ever - they're decent - but it pisses me off when everyone on the block has one in their hands? Why? Why are BlackBerries so special? Aren't there better? (Yes, there are.)

The only reason BlackBerries have become popular is because everyone has suddenly discovered BlackBerry messenger which is basically free texting.

BBM is the only good thing about a BlackBerry. Bar that they're the ****tiest phones in the market.

iPhone adding iMessage and the fact that iOS and Android both have apps to free text makes BlackBerries very pointless as well.

It's only until the next new gadget comes along then they will all go mental for that.

Well, those 'phones are among the best. What irritates me the most is people who get so worked up about BlackBerries, thinking they're the best.

I dont give a crap about the latest gadgets. Never have. As long as I have a phone that works, I dont care. I would never pay £200 for a phone just to be 'in'

Agree 100% - I hate all these new smartphones with all this social integration rubbish. A phone should be a phone, not some high-tech mini computer.

Also getting so annoyed with all these chavs on the train going on about "BBM" like it's some massive revolution

What pisses me off the most is that BlackBerries aren't even all that. I like smartphones but why BlackBerries? They're not even peng.

I need my Blackberry for work. In that way, it is very useful.

Had one but didn't like it, overpriced to the max! Can't wait for my contract to end and to get an iPhone.

I've had about 5, used to love them but started to really hate them when the chavs started to obsess over them, and I rediscovered the iPhone

Someone posted this ages ago which made me laugh

Same here. Phone/text on the go is all I need. Not even fussed about cameraphone bollocks. I have a camera for that (funnily enough)
