For everything blackberry, crackberry fulfills my needs. Everything from interesting apps, to functional accessories, leaked OS, and an engaging forum, CB have a lock on the RIM products.
If you’re a bb addict, I highly recommend heading over the crackberry.com – they’ll keep you posted on the latest news.
I love my blackberry. I’ve got my hip case for convenient Agent 86 telecommunications access. My dock for instant notifications and executive style desk chach-ka. My extra batteries so I can be without running water for 3 days and still have enough juice to check my email. With all of my OCD love for my device, it’s still not there yet.
1) Developers are your friends
RIM, I love you. How can you compete with Apple and Android when developers don’t like your API of developer kits? I’ve been loyal for years now and still the only thing you provide me with is a fastlane to thumb arthritis.
2) Focus on the Consumer Market
BBM is great. APP world is a step in the right direction. You need to spend a bit more time thinking about the consumer experience. You’ve got a lock on the business user, but the consumers are hurting. The facebook app is grossly under-developed, bbm isn’t being leveraged as much as it could.
3) Customization kills performance.
If I add a new theme, it shouldn’t cause my device to come to a grinding halt.
4) Battery Pulls Suck
There should be no excuse to have “battery pull” as an official stop-gap for all problems with your device. The unofficial fix-all is a sign of significant memory leaks and a non-scalable model. I want everyone to love your devices as much as I do. This is making is quite difficult.
I’m sure I can keep adding to this list. In short, I really just want a device that works well. Something that offers me a consistent and extensible experience as an iphone or android. A device that’s a corner stone to all communications.
I love my blackberry. I’ve had a number of iphones and a few blackberry models already. Blackberry Messenger adds so much value – namely no charge messages between contacts.
My main point of pain with my device is the limited space for applications. On one hand it wants to compete with the iphone by having a diverse application store and on the other hand it limits me to a tenth of the hard drive space to store these value added programs. Here is my main pain with this – I have an 8gb sd card, a 700+ mb built in hard drive and yet if I install more than 6 apps, the device slows to a halt. Plagued by memory leaks, I’m left scrambling for a few extra megs of space as a buffer.
The simple solutions – RIM – please either open up more space on the local drive or allow me to install apps to the external drive. You’re stunting my ability to expand my device and taking all the added value out of the device by limiting it’s extensibility.
No need to download a separate qr reader app. If you go to bbm, select scan group code, you can scan the qr code and it will link you to a website.
It was extremely fast and convenient compared to separate apps.
