BlackBerry Addict
Here’s a collection of BlackBerry models I’ve owned. I buy and sell phone pretty often, sometimes just because someone is selling really cheap, and I could buy and resell it for a small profit, plus I could give the device a test drive. However, mostly it’s because I’m a little fickle-minded. Also, part of the reason is I really do enjoy using BlackBerry devices, and would like to try out different models. I actually got my very first BlackBerry slightly over a year ago. It was a Bold 9000, I used it about 5 months before upgrading to a Bold 9900. I used that for around 5-6 months too before I started to fool around with different devices.

Mobile Affair
Lots of things to be excited about in the new year. One of which, BlackBerry 10.
I have been device hopping for more than half a year, in the process, I have used WP, iOS (previously used it for a few years), Android (for a couple of hours), and of course multiple BlackBerry devices. By multiple, i meant like 13 different models of BlackBerry phone. 14 if you include their tablet, PlayBook. If you count the same models, when i have sold, only to buy back the same model later, it would probably bring me up to 30+ BlackBerry smartphones.

A PlayDate with BlackBerry SG.
I was invited to attend an event by BlackBerry Singapore, organised by Edelman Singapore. Of course I was plenty excited about it, being my first BlackBerry event and all. It was aptly named “PlayDate”, which basically was an introduction to PlayBook OS 2.0. Of course, I do realise that PlayBook OS 2.0 was launched around 3 months ago. I updated my PlayBook within a few short hours after RIM officially pushed it out.

PlayBook OS 2.0 thoughts.
I updated my PlayBook to OS 2.0 once it was pushed out yesterday evening. It was exciting watching the download and installing bar progressing and watching the PlayBook restarts itself.
