I sell phones as my day job. I've owned am iphone 4S, numerous Android handsets, and am typing this on my BlackBerry PlayBook.

To this day, the one-two punch of my PlayBook and my Curve 9320, I've been the happiest with my devices since as long as I can recall.

Sure, it's not cool to have a blackberry as a 22yo, but the phone is still the best handset I've used for keeping in contact with people. The bluetooth sharing of the unlimited Internet to my PlayBook tablet, and all costing $40 a month prepaid is just the icing on the blackberry cake.

I like my devices. I'm productive, and entertained. The iPad Mini and iphone 5 combo is tempting, but I can't justify the price for only a slight increase in functionality.



Given that my baseline plan is $120/month, I can see why Black Berry still has a market....(Voice $45, Texting $15, data $60)
