Past my dilemma over which smartphone to acquire, I have made my pick last year to a Storm 2 9520 Blackberry phone. After several reviews in the Internet I find it more seducing for me. Reasons why? (1) I just love the hardware (physical), it looks very professional and corporate for me. (2) The exclusiveness it brings to myself from the people in the place I am currently living and working. (3) I’ve got all my email accounts activated at one same time. (4) Camera is good, Audio is firm, Apps jived in with my interests. (5) It can get along with various computers to share and sync in with the files. BBM is phenomenal in sharing files from different places like mp3, videos and pictures in a maximum size of 6mb. Lastly, it can never get me wrong with its Surepress touchscreen.
No offense to Iphone users, I have high respect for your phone’s dominance in the market. I cannot deny the fact that speedy browsing is the most impressive factor for me and the facetime. I gave credits also to some of the thousand apps that was helpful and entertaining. But all of these could not get even to the reasons I have mentioned above.
Moving on, I am planning to buy a tablet in the near future to get with the trends of time. Paramount to that, is the comfort and fun it will serve me in moments of travel and the portability it brings when I’m browsing the recipe videos in YouTube while I’m cooking, music tripping and watching movies when I’m laid down in bed.
I only consider these two tablets because these I think are the best tablets in town. Starting from scratch, I leave behind the credits I gave to Blackberry phone before and start anew since tablets and smartphones are two different worlds.
Join me as I go along with these previews.
And the battle begins...
