Are blackberrys good for facebook?

[Joe]

I want to get one mainly for bbm but also for texting and phoning and also using facebook a lot and was wondering are they any good?

Blackberrys are brilliant for BBM, texting and phoning but I hate the Facebook app on my blackberry and my friends all agree that its terrible. The messaging on it is poor and the news feed its much better either. You can post stuff and post pictures and everything and you can chat to people its just not as good and simple as you would like it to be. Mine also lags quite a bit.

I used to have a blackberry and it was great for texting and chatting in general, not with bbm because that was like any other chat application but it was still okay. Facebook was alright on it, it was usable but it was sometimes slow and laggy.

I now have an iPhone and I prefer it much more, it has limitless applications for chatting and in my opinion the facebook app is flawless. I love it much more and the text messaging interface is my favourite. One thing that didn't get me at first was the touch screen keyboard but then I found out about iphone keyboard cases and I fell in love, now I have a physical keyboard and it is a perfect phone.

On older models the Facebook isn't so good nut on the newer models they are ok but could be better. There's a new line of BlackBerry's which are apart of the new BlackBerry10 series. There's the Z10 which attracts iPhone and Android users, the Q10 which attracts those with BlackBerry Bold 9900s, and the Q5 which will attract teens who like trendy phones. You can actually do more with the new BlackBerry10 devices. I have a Z10 and always been a BlackBerry user. With the BlackBerry Z10 (Q10) you get what's called BlackBerry Balance which allows you to do business and play without having them interfere with eachother. If your phone was to ever be stolen or lost there's an app called BlackBerry Protect which allows you to track your phone and keep it secure (security is the top priority. Even Obama has a BlackBerry).The UI is smooth to the touch (BlackBerry Flow) and allows for easy software navigation. It's OS system uses a QNX Neutrino microkernel OS that enables the use of Flash and HTML5 capabilities also known to be embedded in systems around us such as social networks, cars, hospitals and space shuttles to name a few( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGW76JB90Ro) which uses the C++ computing programing language. It allows the option of Internet thetering so you could use it as a modem. The features of the hardware are limited. When you look at it you will realize there's no home button. This phone allows for you to only use touch with multiple swiping gestures that takes time to get used to. This is the main feature that makes this standout among other phones such as the iPhone. Typing is much easier where with it you don't even have to use type. All you need to do is start with the first letter and the phone will do the rest on it's own (predictive text), just flick up the word of your choice.The camera has a timeshift feature that allows for you to choose the perfect shot and has a cool story maker app that allows you to make PowerPoint like videos combining videos and photos alike with background music added. Internet (4G LTE) is much faster than other phones. If you're not familiar with BlackBerry Messenger (BBM) well here's your chance. This is the main reason why teens buy or have BlackBerry's. This allows you to exchange your pin number to friends (those with BBM) and communicate with them but also has video chat (similar to FaceTime on iPhone but for BlackBerry) and screen sharing. The only thing this phones lacks is apps which it only has 700,000+ apps with more being added but allows for you to sideload android apps. There are so many things this phone has that many others don't and is considered the best phone in the market. Don't get tricked into buying something that you might not like and end up being stuck with your choice. Do the research on the specs of each phone.

Explaining the Difference:

The difference between iPhone and BlackBerry

To operate an iPhone you have a home button to push. You push it to turn it on and to get in and out of apps as with the BlackBerry Z10 you have no home button which means you have to use your fingers. To operate it you swipe up, left and right and to get out of an app you simply swipe up from the bottom.

Fun Fact:

Out of 600,000 phones the DoD uses, 470,000 are BlackBerry's, 41000 are iPhone's and 87,00 are Androids so BlackBerry wins in best security. (watch this ad: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dY1ecfWT3GQ

* BBM might have been the reason to buy the older BlackBerry's but that's not the case with the new BlackBerry10 devices. This platform bought new features to the table and a whole different mobile ecosystem with no lags, malware, and better security all with QNX. They already gave people on the other platforms the opportunity to witness the BlackBerry10 OS from their phones (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4l0SNyyP...g&index=1)
