blackberry is love

[elyse]

After months of waiting and thinking over & over again, I finally decided to get Blackberry Bold. It's a belated birthday gift from dad. At first, I wanted a Blackberry Bold, but because it was so expensive when it first came out (around Rp. 12.5 million), I was thinking of getting a Blackberry Curve 8320 + iPod touch instead.

So 2 weeks ago I came to the Blackberry Shop at Ambassador mall to buy BB 8320 sunset. But after seeing the real thing, I got turned off by the design & the fact that it doesn't have 3G & HSDPA (meaning, I can't use it in Japan). My mom, who went with me, successfully convinced me to get BB Bold instead for those two main reasons.

I gotta say... I'm so happy with it. I do realize that BB Bold still have some problems with the initial firmware, such as the short battery life (because the phone is always seeking for wifi & 3g reception when they're turned on). But I'm sure the problems will be fixed with the new OS upgrade(s).

I'm extremely happy with its ability to be online 24/7 (whenever I'm at home, I switch to my dear computer, of course), therefore I'm always in touch with my emails, and my messengers are always on (YM, MSN, GTalk). I've always known that what I need all along is the ability to get online anytime I want to, especially to check emails, update my Twitter, check movie times, and google something. I used to get online via GPRS on my Nokia phones, and it cost me a lot of money! With Blackberry, the BIS is Rp. 180,000 monthly for unlimited data plan. Nice, isn't it?

In total, I spent a bit more than Rp. 9.5 million for the Bold itself, 8gb micro SD card, anti scratch screen protector, and the awesome red skin case. It's a crackberry now. I'm officially addicted! ♥
