In the last 5 years,i have used over 30 mobile phones and with time i have gained experience and knowledge about mobile phones and infact my taste for phones changes,as we all know technology increases daily and new mobile phones are created.And now the latest phone which is the most rampant since mobile phone came to existence is called blackberry.every you go in the world today,the most used phone is blackberry why?i know that it has a special feature which no other phone has which is the ability to chat with one another through the blackberry messenger with the help of the pin to exchange with one another.apart from that i dont see any other special feature about the phone that no other phone has.so why are people so freaked out about this so called blackberry?

Most people I know would agree with me when I say.. Nothing is that great about the Blackberry!
Once you have a Blackberry for a while you get addicted to Blackberry Messenger. There are so many problems with Blackberries though. I always have to pull my battery out, I've never had a phone that is so unreliable. I love bbm though. I think if more people started switching to iphone, and less people had bbm, I'd probably switch to a new phone.

Well, one of the biggest reasons we like ours is the tactile keyboard. On-screen keyboards just cannot compare to a real keyboard. There are fewer typing errors, as your finger or thumb is pressing an actual switch, not a representation of a key on a resistive screen. And you don't get fingerprints on the viewing area. If you wish to browse the web, you can within the constraints of a phone.
Then there are those of us (myself included) that believe a phone is well, a phone. It can get you on the web in a pinch, but an single or dual core phone with a 840x480 resolution is no match for my quad-core laptop with 1920x1200 resolution. We won't even compare a phone to my desktop with dual 1920x1200 monitors.
Sure a phone is much more portable than even the lightest laptop or tablet, but all the scrolling and waiting you have to do to view a webpage, I can wait till I get home.

My husband have had two blackberry, now he changed for a my touch tg which is GREAT I love it each of us have one.
So I don't know what is the especialy of blackberry but he still talks about the blackberry and his cell phone fell down two weeks ago and the screen got broken and he payed 100 dollars to fix it, febore to pay that quantity he was sdaying about to buy a blackberry, I think is because he said that his blackberry fell down a lot of times and never got broken.

I have a BlackBerry and I love it. It has the ability to back up your data to Blackberry server so if you lose or damage the phone, when you replace it you can retrieve your data. It also has the feature of it you do lose your phone, you can go online to the Blackberry site and track where your phone is. If you cannot get your phone back, you can wipe the data out of the phone via your computer. My Blackberry, through T-Mobile also has the ability to switch to WiFi if my signal strength is very low. I always like BlackBerrys.
