Typical Pirks... When confronted, avoid, evade and distract.

"BBM, BIS and BES weren't on the other phones 3 years ago, so you're lying here."

1. I never said that the other phones had BB services, what I implied is that BB services are obsoleted by EAS and EAS is free at that
2. Do you really want to compare battery life on all phones? EAS is not a problem.
3. You never answered the issue with BB service costing $20 per month while EAS is free.
4. To your other post about BB being more reliable. There have been sevearl high profile BB outages where BB was out and all other were offline. IF you want to Cherry pick data, so can I.
5. Again, you never responded to what the brand new late 2011 model Blackberries have that iphone, android and even WebOS all had 2-3 years ago. Answer = NOTHING! (other than the obsolete BB service which is NOT a positive, its a negative)

EAS is not a problem thinks otherwise
You never answered the issue with BB service being more data traffic and battery life saving than EAS.
Show me BBM in a phone 3 years ago, or else you're a liar.
obsolete BB service which is NOT a positive, its a negative
If BBM is negative, why Apple ripped it off recently into their own BBM-like iMessage service?
BB services are obsoleted by EAS and EAS is free at that
Hehe, EAS is free for a reason - free products are lousy ones, and paid are better, such is the case with battery and data efficiency of non-free BB services.

my god man, you are either clueless, or just totally unwilling to admit you are wrong.

Thank you for not listening, reading, or comprehending a damn thing. Yes, I must be a liar for TWICE not saying anything at all what you say I said.

1. 89% of the smartphones sold in the world today use EAS and dont have battery issues.

2. Again (again) I didnt say BBM was in competing phones. I said its obsolete.Corporate/Exchange EMAIL, has been available for phones via EAS since Exchange 2003 came out, thus obsoleting BB serice.

3. EAS is not "free" per say, its part of exchange which is already quite expensive for the user CAL's etc etc. You just dont have to pay extra for it like you do for BB ... This makes BBM a negative... cow, milk, free etc, remember?

But thank you for proving how clueless you are. Its now clear that you are more interested in not being proven wrong than you are in facts or even openmindedness. Also, I know you have to have the last word so go for it , its yours.

Yeah of course if they have not as good battery life as BB phones they "don't have issues", is that right?

I see you don't even know what BBM is if you compare it to email. This is pretty dumb you know, to compare chat service to email :)))
