Before I ramble on about why I love my perfect little BlackBerry, let me be clear about a few things. I am aware that I will lose this battle and I’m okay with that. I know that to some, BlackBerry’s are old news and that iPhone’s are on the (continual) rise. Now that that’s all cleared up, I can now safely say that I love my BlackBerry so much.

 
In my life, I’ve had only three cell phones. All of which were flip phones. As you can tell, I really don’t care too much about technology. When I look for a new phone, I look for a phone that is easy to use, I can text and call people, put my work schedule in a calendar, and check Facebook and Twitter.

 
Let me take you back to where this all started. My rebate was quickly approaching and I apparently needed a new phone, though I was content with my Sprint Katana (told you, old school). I began my research and nowadays, the only phones out there are either huge or teeny tiny, and somehow, all involve touch-screens, apps and literally anything you could think of. Obviously, none of these appealed to me. Until I finally ran across the BlackBerry. Up until that point, I thought the people that had BlackBerry’s were workaholics and all business. I was proven wrong and found they were really cute phones and you didn’t have to have some business mogul job to have one.

 
Another major reason I love my phone is that there’s no apps or games. I’m not 12 years old, I don’t have time for games. The only app-type thing I use is Pandora, Facebook and Twitter and I use all of those sparingly. I know that to others, I don’t use my BlackBerry to the fullest extent. I don’t use BBM, it is utterly ridiculous and just a fancy form of text messaging. I just use the basics. I could not care less about the fancy, high-tech things in life. I just want to be able to call, text, tweet and post statuses.
