Do you remember those grey boxes about the size of an unused bar of soap? There was a tiny screen at the top displaying a line of…..numbers? Can you guess? The PAGER! Yes, the old trusty pager: people would call a number to reach you then type in a number to be sent to your pager(what geniuses), then once we got the page we had to either find a telephone booth, use your work/home phone or if you were really ballin’…a really big cellular phone. My love for Motorola started way back in time, where if you weren’t a doctor you’d get an arched brow tossed your way for having one. Drug dealer? Not hardly. Tech junkie in the making? Hell yeah! My loyalty to Moto continued all the way to 2009. That’s way more years than I’d like to admit. Phew! There was the occasional affair with NEC, Samsung, LG, Ericcson, Nokia, but Motorola was built tough and made for me. Clumsy? No problem. The first few bumps, drops and bruises were free.
As the new frenetic telecom upswing was born, it wasn’t long before I ditched the pager and bought a cellular phone. The evolution of mobile communications has been fascinating – and sometimes head-spinning to say the least. I’ve had cellular devices that were as big as a bowling ball bags and some that fit neatly into that small 5th pocket on my jeans. Cute, yes. Functional? Well that’s another story.
Lately, my current weakness has been smartphones. And being the loyal little lady, I managed to stick with my favorite brand of course. Good ol’ Moto. Nextel i930, Moto Q and Motorola Q9h Global... At each juncture of my mobile madness, I would say my device truly surpassed all others. Nothing compares to these way advanced features! I was so wrong.
After years of lusting after the right device that could do everything except use the bathroom for me, The Holy Grail, I am excited to say that I’ve crossed over. Yes, I’ve divorced Motorola and after almost ten months, I haven’t looked back. The scroll keys, frustrating upload/download speeds, confusing and unreliable media options? Things of the past.
I have stepped into the crackberry realm. Now when I say “This device rocks!” I mean it. For real. Write it down: Blackberry Bold 9000. Now THIS is pure gold. Every aspect of this device packs a punch. First and most important is the trackball – what did I ever do without it? How did I function with only a scroll wheel in my life? With the Bold 9000, I can manage my exhausting world and entertain myself effortlessly from the palm of my hand. I now have everything I need and everything I don’t necessarily need. Seriously, how cool is that? A media player with phenomenal sound quality and enough space to hold my insane music library, a gig of device storage and expandable storage option, video capture, functional and reliable internet access that looks like a mini laptop browser, email, email and more email. iPhone, eat your heart out! Blackberry is coming and they’re coming strong. I must confess, I’m not one for the touchscreen but I do like apps and guess what?? I got a qwerty keyboard along with a screen that looks like a handheld version of my flat panel (the quality is bananas!), and Blackberry App World!!
This is a union that will not be broken. I may have caught on a little late, but I’m Hooked!! If you are a girl on the go and you’ve grown weary of untangling cords and searching for more than one device at the bottom of your handbag, the Blackberry Bold just might be for you. Give it a shot. I doubt you’ll be disappointed.
