A tale of a Desi Blackberry User

You still do not know why your mobile network service has the 399 INR BB ‘Internet’ Plan and ‘Internet surfing and downloading’ is not in the features. What the..!!!
You end up having an inflated mobile bill which is almost 70 percent due to the Blackberry Internet Service plan and 30 percent due to petty phone calls. ( statistics may vary from person to person).
It is a pain to enlighten people the non-BB users about a Blackberry Plan and why you pay multiple times more to get the same 2G services.
You still do not know what is the point of paying for additional 3G BB service plan package on top of your already pricey 2G BB service plan.
You need to convince a lot of people why the blackberry is the smartest smartphone but deep within you know that an android is way better and cheaper for the same specifications and Iphone is way cooler.
At least a couple of your BB messenger contacts are people you don’t really want them on your list but you accept their friend request to increase your already negligible number of friends on your BBM list.
You tend to update your Facebook status only and only from your Blackberry even if you are sitting right in front of your computer just to get those 5 white dots on black cube below your status update. Its cool no!
You send long mails and big attachments from your phone although it is way easier and faster from the computer because its cooler to have the “ Sent from BlackBerry® on Airtel /BSNL/Vodafone” below your mail. Feels like a Big shot.
No We don’t care if you are at this place or that or having a good day with your friends, but we will check your updates nevertheless. You can blame it on the irresistible red notification flash LED .
You decide to devote your time to something without distractions, yet your eyes keep checking whether your green LED has turned to ‘red’.
Why is Blackberry Maps even there on the phone in India?
You see that hot chick with a Blackberry and you wish you had her PIN.

But in the end we are the Blackberry Boys! We are the Blackberry Boys!!
