BlackBerry .. NO!

      Ever since the Blackberry came out everyone was asking me to get one. "What's your BB pin?". They'd ask often. "You don't have a BB?". Amazingly no, I don't need one. "You're into social media & you don't have a BB?". Making me feel like a technology retard. Well, no I don't have a BlackBerry & never in my life would I want to get one.
      I must admit I was intrigued a lot of times to actually go get one of these shiny toys, especially with the cool flashy covers that came along. But after I see the quality of life those Blackberry users sink into I step away & hug my cute gold Nokia E72 which grants me my freedom at any time & doesn't make me feel like I'm his trapped genie or something. It even allows me to blame it sometimes for not being able to get online or even better when it messes with the SIM card & people can't reach me sometimes.
I love how it self adjusts itself so it doesn't tick me or annoy me.. I love how it simply gives me my space & doesn't intrude on my time away from work.


      Turning away from the relationship I have with my phone. This is not a review, I'm probably going to get attacked by these companies when it goes into their monitoring systems. I just wanted to circulate this piece of advice. If you think working hours aren't enough, if you want to frustrate your OFFLINE friends who are waiting for you to make your next move at that board game or say what you feel about their story but WAIT after you reply to that insignificant email I would advice you to get 1 of these stupid devices. It will surely deprive you of your final offline moment where you could actually enjoy some fresh air without those mobile waves damaging what's remaining of your brain cells!
