(try walking over your BB's qwerty!.. Should I conduct that experiment for you if you allow me, on your BB?! :P) This saying that "touch screens are fragile, so hey go for physical qwerty keypad" is really re-thinkable! Wanna give it a try again? :P :D :D<br />Rather this line of mine you can recall after 25 years from now and then may be appreciate:<br />"Touch screen is the future of interface for personal computing."<br />Bar-phones have already become dated, and even qwerty are being paired up with a touch screen!<br />If we deduce as per your saying, than Apple will soon become bankrupt! :P (Their iconic products like iPad, iPhones live only on touch interface! ;) ) <br />Even the capacitive touch (Its not latest, much better touch screens are already available!) is greatly responsive and sturdy not only for typing but for gaming & net surfing as a breeze as well! In fact your interaction with your smarty becomes much more sophisticated, productive (eg. Multi-touch) and fast!! :)<br />WhatsApp can NEVER compete with BBM, it is not in the same lines & is really far behind the race than BBM! (As BB do compared to Androids & Apple ;) ) But as I said BB is a synonym for proprietary RIM servers, except that it is not that smart! :P<br /><br />So topic is- "BB vs smart phones"<br />maybe- "Why BB is over-hyped only due to RIM servers"<br />or maybe- "Why BBM is over priced ;) "<br /><br />I am glad you took the criticism with an open mind! :) ( :P :D )Akshathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077034218529815635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352471799662089025.post-41276275617257247012012-07-16T19:15:11.592+05:302012-07-16T19:15:11.592+05:30Mr. AR.

You can be rest assured your post has not at all hurt my feelings or faith :P<br /><br />Agreed touchscreens are not fragile and latest developments are making them sturdier. But when you compare them to the devices sans the touchscreens, comparatively they are very delicate! (recent personal experience: a friend's Samsung galaxy was slightly stepped upon by another friend which resulted into internal crashing of the LED into pieces! sigh!)<br /><br />and as far as i remember the original topic of the debate was whats app versus the BBM. <br />as for the loopholes there is no 100% hack-proof app. the man over the machine fact prevails which brings utmost sigh if relief for the humankind :P what matters is the degree of security levels. :)<br /><br />as for the main topic bbm versus whatsapp, bbm was the inspiration, wahtsapp a mroe refined version. and i wont be surprised to see many such kind of app and messenger services in the next few months. <br /><br />as for BB bashing, we should realize that these beings are huge businesses out of which some will succumb today whereas some will soar high tomorrow. being & providing up-to-date technology is definitely required (or is it a superb marketing tactic that is fit into the common man's head??? :) :P ) and popularity and the current fad matters the most to be the market leader.<br />Tada :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352471799662089025.post-2458556267570259032012-07-16T17:12:34.130+05:302012-07-16T17:12:34.130+05:30Miss.

...Miss. DH I think u commented on a wrong post?! :P<br />Warned already, it was not intended to hurt anyone's faith or feelings! :P :D<br />No touchscreens are not fragile! (Please Google Capacitive screen, iPhone touch screen etc :P) Ive been using them since class 11. :)<br />I bet you can't break one with your bare hands, how hard you may press! The latest in advancements in touch screens make them the only interface to be used in coming future! (That's what Apple, pioneer in smartphones, clearly understands! ;))<br />BB is just synonymous to RIM's proprietary servers, as for smartphones race, it lags 'far' behind! (Don't believe me? Try an iPhone or Galaxy yourself for just 7 days! ;) you might get a new opinion on touchscreens as well maybe! :P)<br />So to be precise it is smartphones vs RIM servers! The only fragile hope of BB left! As for smartphones it is still to learn a lot! :P<br />And the difference is not just Apps! Its the drastic difference in OS quality and Hardware power as compared to Apples and Androids! User experience is greatly affected by the smartness of your smartphone! And not just RIM servers. :P ;)<br />Though BB can be brought for just around 10k bucks, I am not sure when will I go for it... ;)<br />And yeah for your precise observation on that news regarding hacking of RIM's servers, I would like to appreciate your investigation, but maybe you missed the point!<br />If RIM can hack their own servers, why can't Google, Apple, Microsoft, or a Chineese nerd?! :P<br />The point is: "There is a loophole!"<br />And no technology is perfect!, all have loopholes, which can be exploited to hack it! :)<br /><br /><br />Even BB had to join touchescreen camp, remember? (Now BB has come out with a range of touch-phones! ;) )<br />Debate is endless I feel. :-|<br />Androids and Apples are Linux based and are much smarter to be virus infected! ;) :D<br />And if you still don't believe why I say BB (Oh! RIM servers) can not give the experience of Apple or Android or Windows in terms of smartness(and I am not trying to bash BB!) you can also research as to why BB revenues are getting down drastically and Androids or Apples are eating it! ;)<br /><br />Toodles =))Akshathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18077034218529815635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4352471799662089025.post-82247778536789936702012-07-16T17:10:48.199+05:302012-07-16T17:10:48.199+05:30Now that was a complete BB-bashing post! ;) It was...Now that was a complete BB-bashing post! ;) It was good to find out certain tech-facts stated by you. It was well pin-pointed that how BB could be enhanced by better OS, app-world and the likes. I agree with your suggestions, Mr. Techie :D<br />But,the link to an article where in RIM guys had to hack in their server (wherein you showcased that BBM servers are hack-able) Reason: they were co-operating with the London police in order to track the person who started the mob & spread the whereabouts of the event through BBM. thus they hacked in their own servers :)<br />Moreover, recently, there was an issue between the RIM users and the Indian Government regarding the privacy and its probable mis-use, had a huge debate going on.<br />I agree all tangible devices are hack-able. But what matters is the amount of security it brings along. Because it does not allow the cross-application, an entire community is formed of the BB lovers,which gives them a distinctive edge ( Superb RIM marketing gimmick). But yes that clubbed with the amount of security nothing like it. remember, BBM is the only messenger which is not internet(data) based! Thus brings in more amount of security. ( a lotta malware & harmful viruses have the possibility of attacking your device and leaving you with a complete-washed out phone.)<br /><br />The reasons for liking a certain type of smart phone depends from a person to person. There are people who don't prefer the touch-screens ( remember how fragile touchscreens are) there are people who cant make do without touch screens! :D to each his own. <br />But yes, on a whole, RIM could definitely make do by reducing its subscription charges as compared to the other devices and the use of application. <br />but my love for my BB still continues! :D ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
