Apart from BlackBerry‘s line up for BB10 devices, they have just announced a new phone running BB OS 7 – the 9720. The phone is meant to ‘spark the conversation’ as it features the makings of a super social phone and a lot more.

Blackberry’s only chance to avoid its imminent death is to adopt Android, the most professional OS ever! BB OS is so like Windows, both are old-school tech kaya walang appzzz ang gamezzz!

Hahaha magsama yung BB OS at Windows kasi parehong bulok at halos walang apps di gaya ng Android halos araw-araw may apps and games, lolz.

Dito sa car aircon repair business ko, nag-deploy kami from bulok na Windows to super-shiny na Android. Hahaha, mamatay sa inggit yung Windoze users losers dyan kasi halos araw-araw may bagong apps and games sa Android. Android is the only OS you’ll need if you’re a real professional!

PC users suckers losers!

Nasa magkano kaua ang price nito, the BB9900 ay nasa 10K na lang & free on plan 999 sa postpaid running OS7 din.

Masyado kasing mahal ang BB10 phones the Q5 itself nasa 15K pataas na, maybe its time to lower the price range of their products. The company is dying IMO.

I’m still using a blackberry pearl 8100 (circa 2006) up to now. It still suits my instant push email needs and bbm as well. Alternately, i also use a sony ericsson aspen windows 6.5.3 (circa 2010) for music listening. Both operating systems suit my personal needs, apps or lack of apps. For mobile games, I use ios.

This will be my next smartphone replacing my aging BB Curve 8520. I love dedicated hardware QWERTY keys on a smartphone. Okay lang kung old school ako at least happy ako.

Language programs IMHO most of them are cross platform like C, C++, C#, Python or even and Android App and SDKs.

BTW I’m posting this comment using Ubuntu Linux 12.04LTS.

I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s
both educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you’ve hit the nail on the head.
The issue is an issue that not enough people are speaking intelligently about.
I’m very happy that I found this in my search for something regarding this.
