2. It started with a small town girl meeting a city boy on a midnight train.
They apparently didn’t know where to go but they knew what they
wanted. Love. BlackBerry fans have been around since its first release
in 2003. BlackBerry offers unique features that some of the current
smartphones still don’t have, like BBM or multitasking features. That
may dwindle throughout the years but some still “hold on to that
feeling.” The strong demand and attachment to BlackBerry phones was
once called the “CrackBerry.” This phenomenon led to the
establishment of BlackBerry as a reputable smartphone in the US. But,
even though many have decided traded in BlackBerry phones, some of
these users may not have wanted to detach themselves from that
heavenly feel.
TheiPhone 5release sure created the buzz for users to switch to
Apple’s latest addition to the iPhone series. But, some BlackBerry
patrons seem to have been immune to iPhone’s power. Some have
said that they stand firm for BlackBerry. Some have even expressed
their excitement for BlackBerry 10 after iPhone 5’s release. Some
members of CrackBerry.com’s forum site expressed their undying love
for BlackBerry. Here are some of the comments:
The starter of the forum thread, Sugarmouth sparked the conversation
when he said:

3. Gives me even more faith BB10 will have a better chance at
success. Apple is behind the curve! They literally announced
technology other OS’s have been using for some time. BB10, I am
curious.
Other members are ambivalent to the issue. Die-hard BlackBerry
pointed out iPhone 5’s flaws and why BlackBerry 10 is a cooler phone
than Apple’s, and why BlackBerry 10 is something to look forward to.
Even though many insisted selling BlackBerry, member SK 122387
sums it up pretty well:
The iPhone 5 has cool improvements… but there was nothing [sic]
blowingly cool…Sales will obviously be huge. Multitasking is still
that “in and out” that Thorsten Heins was talking about, which is
painfully obvious if you’re used to using a Playbook, but also use
an iPod touch running iOS5 like I do many times a day. iOS 6 looks
like iOS5, which looks like iOS4…but I’d say RIM is in a pretty good
position to be in, all things considered.
Yes, we are BlackBerry fans here, so we’ll defend our device until
we die. Along with the BlackBerry lovers however, even some
current iPhone users weren’t wowed by the new iPhone. The new
device does have some features, but overall the consensus is that
it isn’t a huge upgrade from the iPhone 4/4S. I think many iPhone
users won’t be making the trip to upgrade just yet.

4. SK 122387 even pointed out BerryGuy25’s comment:
As an iPhone 4S user, personally I can say that I am not enthused at all.
iPhone 5 did nothing for me and the biggest thing I wanted to know about
was the battery but I doubt it's much because the device is so thin. I want
a phone that's going to get through the day and my current device can't do
that.
It may be taken into consideration that most CrackBerry.com forum members
are BlackBerry fans. However, some are thinking of selling BlackBerryfor the
new release in 2013, and defend it.
