The funny thing is that I’m sitting here typing this on my iPod Touch (4th gen) and I have a blackberry (curve 8520) I do have music on my phone but the big thing is that s schools (at least mine) don’t allow cellphone usage even for music. I def love my bb and I have already converted a ton of my iPhone friends into devoted bb users. I don’t really like texting anymore… It’s so annoying because you can’t see when they received and writing a message back plus, it’s a lot quicker in response. I can believe apple hasn’t copied bb yet.. All in good time I guess

I am writing to comment on this blog as a whole. I follow Rimarkable on twitter religiously. I have sat quiet long enough on what I perceive as alot of BlackBerry negativity by some posters as well as Robb himself. RIM is taking a huge bashing lately especially when it comes to the latest and greatest “other phones” out there. While I am fully aware that there are a plethora of Johnny- come- lately devices on the market that are amazing pieces of technology. They each are remarkable in their own rite. Consumers and business people alike will adopt Android, Palm, etc and grow to love them. Each device and OS has great benefits and negatives. It is the nature of the beast. I would like to see RIM update a few things as well. THere is always room for improvement in any technology. But when it comes down to brass tax, BlackBerry is a communicating machine. It is reliable and true, outdated or not. I suppose RIM knows exactly what the “competition” is and what consumers want. They continue to produce quality and effective devices and services all the while keeping with their mission of helping businesses and consumers alike manage their lives. I know I can multitask, by texting, calling, emailing, writing notes, manage my calendar and contacts, and catching up on breaking news, and sports scores nearly simultaneously. This is done effortlessly and easily. I don’t have to click, swipe, swipe, click, shake, rattle or roll. A few clicks and roll of the ball does it all. And it works. Now, the last time I read the title of this site it is “Rimarkable”. Let’s see news and information about RIM shown in a positive light. We each make choices in what we use as our wireless device. If you want the latest and greatest Android phone, by all means go get it and enjoy it. Hell, start a Weblog called “Droidmarkable”. But this site is Rimarkable. Let’s share and enjoy how remarkable our BlackBerry’s are and let the others try out the new technology. Me? I’ll be sitting right here addicted to a tried and true companion that never fails, seldom freezes, and helps me manage my 80 hour work week while staying in touch with family and friends in style.

I’ll bet teens love BBM for a couple of reasons. First, it’s unlimited to any Blackberry regardless of carrier. If they were to send/receive text messages instead of using BBM, they would probably go over whatever text message alllowance is on their plan and then they’ll get in trouble with their parents. Second and more importantly, teens don’t want their parents reading their text messages and I’m guessing that it’s harder (if not impossible) for parents to get transcripts of BBM messages but I’ll bet they can get transcripts of text messages from the carrier. At a minimum parents will be able to see who their teen is texting and what times they are texting them. But with BBM the parents won’t get any of that information.

Yes BBM Rocks, I also have a BB Bold and a iTouch and i just both. My contract is up on my Bold and with this new BB Bold Slider and the New iphone i have some serious choices to make. I don’t want to leave BB because of BBM, but that new iphone is suppose to rock. Its not just kids that have both units grown man do to. LOL

BBM is RIM’s only “social” feature and it’s probably the best one on any platform period. RIM needs to license it TODAY and get it on every phone possible. Other companies are realizing the benefit and creating BBM like messengers (like pmessenger) and putting them on iPhone and android. If these catch on as a good alternative for IM, RIM will have missed the boat again and failed to capitalize on their best asset.

I’m surprised that RIM hasn’t made more hay about BBM. With all the features it has (and the security and privacy it allows), RIM could easily sell it as a sort of on-the-go secure alternative to Facebook, which would then sell more Curves and Bolds. Hell, I’ve convinced at least six of my friends to by their BlackBerrys because of BBM.
