Blackberry down again
Yesterday the Blackberry network went down again – this is the third time since I got one that it has happened (twice this year alone). I can still use the phone portion of course, but anything data related is dead. First of all, I really don’t understand why it all passes through their network from AT&T anyway. I also don’t care, what I do care about is it working. Its infuriating.
What’s also infuriating is that my options are limited to move away from it. All other “smart” phones blow except for the iphone. I can’t do the iphone unless I go the “illegal” route and buy an unlocked version so I can use it when in various African countries. I have a friend at work who has done just that and he seems happy with it – but it does seem like a hassle. I suppose I could get an iphone and use my unlocked blackberry only when I travel but I’d much rather have one phone for everything – its all just so much easier.
Maybe the Android phones will come sooner than I’m thinking they will? I sure hope so.
