Isn't because it is sour, or I'm bitter.
I am this close to ditching the berry. By far this phone is the longest one that I have had, a good 2 years 7 months. I've dropped it multiple times; the battery casing fell off, the battery pack flew out, disfigured exterior. Despite these, it never failed me once, working tirelessly. I don't think I even had to restore it to factory setting any once. I can list many reasons why I should have gotten a new phone months ago, yet I didn't. For one, I really like physical keypad, among other stuff.
But now, everything seems to be going wrong. I seemed to be always needing to charge my battery, it can barely last a good 8 hours with regular texting. I literally see the battery bar dropped after a convo haha. The keyboard that I've grown to love is always giving me repeated letters with a single press, especially S and R. There seemed to be too many a thing on the phone that is slowing it down, hanging every now and that I have to do a hard reset. I've actually ran out of space to install apps on the phone. The camera was never the best in class, and the picture quality left much to desire. The scrolling gets jammed once too often after such a long time, think non-optical mouse ball and you'll get the idea. And if I were to be really anal, the fabric on the back casing had developed a 'cancerous tumour' (coined by my friend). It actually meant that there exist an air bubble in the middle of the cover and the rate of detachment is growing like a tumour as the air bubble grows :P.
Well, I've said all those to make me less guilty in ditching the berry for a phone that I've repeatedly told myself that I would never get, a touchscreen phone. Hell, I'm not even getting the other fruit. I'm potentially going Korean, yes looking at you S3. With that I'm ditching the physical keypad that I've love, the chance to simply be different from others. RIM why you so chui?! You are walking the path of Nokia, albeit on a smaller scale. Sigh. To be honest, if the 9900 were just to have an auto focus camera in it, I would have gotten it already. RIM why you so chui?! I'm going to miss the push mail in a way also.
I actually surprised myself with how long I've stuck this, despite being a sucker for technology myself. Might have hung onto it a tad too long. So perhaps this was a delayed decision that I should have executed long ago. (Still trying to justify the potential jump) Well I guess going Korean while waiting for RIM to tide it over may seem like the best option now. So OS10, will you be the savior, or would RIM have drown by then. We shall see at the end of the year.
Though I'll be off diving in 2 weeks time, I've got the urge to jet off a little much further. Europe + late next month sounds very tempting.
