My Blackberry has been completely stable. Any apps I have wanted are available. Most of the advertised 10 000 apps for Apples are useless.
its well over 500,000 but whos counting..
Either way what used to be an amazingly useful business tool is nothing more than a constant headache of locking up, corrupting or completely erasing address books, randomly waking up and calling people, freezing to the point of a cold battery out reboot, and endlessly swiping unresponsive screens trying to get it where you want it. Its gone from a productivity tool to one of the biggest wastes of time we have in the company. I wish it wernt so but thems the facts. And i run nothing but the base factory apps. Cant imagine what it would do if required to think.
It'll be dead soon I'm sure
I think that is the appeal of Apple and Android... half million (or more) useless apps :)
BTW SVCJeff, what you are describing sounds more like a hardware issue. I would get your IT staff looking at that. I have never seen any blackberry or any other OS that unstable and I have managed many hundreds of Blackberry's over the years.
In reality the smart phone market has matured so much recently that you will find the hardware specs, features etc. are nearly identical from brand to brand. The only real difference these days is the look and feel of the OS. Most people are so hung up on the logo on the back of their phone that they don't realize the difference between the best and worst players is so small. I think we can agree to disagree on this one. Really the best phone is what works for you. However when testing new phones I try to keep and open mind and am constantly surprised by the brilliance each of the 4 brands put into their new OS's and features
