I may be joining you at CrackBerry, due to peer pressure (something im generaly immune to) i will be getting a BB, my mum is getting a new one in October so i asked her to give me her old 8900 Curve so i can use it for BBM, all my friends are using WhatsApp because of me
its getting out of hand lol, so had no other choice, as i definetly am not waisting my upgrade or saved up money to buy a BB, although i came alarmingly close to getting a Torch through a friends "contact" but it just didnt make any sense, and id be screwed if it was faulty.

Eish, i hope you're able to sort it out soon, if you can try find out if there is a SSS Cellular in Cape Town as they are the ones who repair the SE Phones in SA, things should go quicker if you go straight to them.

My problem is that I'm a QWERTY addict and I have not too many choices when it comes to P1i-esque devices.
I also find that the P1 keypad is the best I have used on a phone thus far, my 9700 just doesn't compare. SE screwed up by dumping that keypad, it truly is amazing once you get used to it.
I am waiting for RIM to confirm or even deny that the 9900 will be upgraded to QNX cause that is what has made me think twice about getting it even though I love its specs (for a Blackberry, that is). If they say no to it getting QNX then I will wait for their QNX enabled Bold Touch. I loved playing with their tablet and I felt the new platform offers better usability than OS 7.
I have a feeling you are not going to like using the Berry, I know I am getting one for the keypad and touchscreen but if it has QNX I will start enjoying Blackberry.

Hard luck, Hobbs. If it's any consolation, think about you getting back an X10 with Gingerbread. It will feel like a new toy.

Hopefuly they dont do to OS7 users what they did to OS6 users as they said the entire range of currently available BBs wont get OS7, hopefuly QNX wont require more than 700mb RAM and 1GHz CPU, i doubt it will though, not even Android is that bloated.
I have a feeling you're right, tried thdm 8900 for a few hours yesterday and i just didnt like it, ive been spoilt by the X10s huge display, smooth touchscreen and excellent 2.3 UI, it was like i had taken a step back, but BBM is my only motivation, the X10 will remain my main phone until i upgrade to another Android next year, probably the Nexus Prime or the dual-core SE, either way my next phone needs minimum: 4.3inch 1280x720p display, 8MP camera, dual-core CPU and 1600mAh batt.

Lol, I'm not the least bit surprised. Blackberry is dull and unimaginative and if you have used other OSs then you will not like what Blackberries have to offer.
There are contradictory statements from within RIM it seems. One of their guys said that QNX requires dual-core processors while the other said from 1GHZ to dual-core so I'm waiting to hear a clear statement from within RIM.
If it is from 1ghz then the 9900 is ready but if not then I guess I will have to wait.

Just returned from SA. What an awesome time in EL and Jozi.
So Steve Jobs resigns from Apple. Eish, how do you replace a guy as good as him at the helm of Apple?

Can't believe the RIM's Playbook has just been released here in SA! I have played with it a month ago, a colleague who is a Blackberry fan bought one in the US a while ago.
@Hobbs
I just started thinking about the last time I sent a phone in for repairs and am shocked to realise that I have never had a phone break down on me. The only time I sent one was the Ericsson R320 which wasn't broken but needed a software upgrade back in 2001.
I'm sure by the time your X10 comes back you will love Gingerbread.
