blackberry bold or black berry look alike?

Tweet

Actually i dont own a blackberry or a look alike one. This is just a question raised into my mind when our company started to give Blackberry bold to company managers. Suddenly a Blackberry look alike fon offer 50% sale last 2 weeks ago. The promo was indeed effective, "sold OUT" on that day. Then my officemate wants to buy a new phone and is confused on what to choose, the orig or the look alike? My other friends advice him to buy the look alike one because their are lot of service centres scattered in metro manila than buying a blackberry which they said hav no service centre in phils. until now, he hasnt bought one yet? i need your suggestions for me to tell my officemate buy.
