It will take off.

Or you could get a smartphone instead on the same monthly fee with a real browser, real applications and KiK messenger which is the same as BBM only cross platform therefore better.

I have tried telling people this. But I get told I know nothing about technology, and should get a Blackberry.

Also, KiK maybe a better alternative - but only if people you know actually use it. Around me it is 'BBM BBM BBM BBM'

Pingchat is also a flop around where I am nowadays.

A lot of people I know have BBs and they admit they only bought it for BBM and wouldn't nessecarily like the phone without out.

There's a lot of point to buying a phone for BBM. There's no point using an IM which no one else uses and let's face it David you're no trend-setter.

Bit of a buzz kill that these won't be released for ages, may as well of announced it along with hopefully the iPhone 5 in September.

No there is no point in buying it for BBM because you're paying smartphone rates for a piece of plastic with no browser and no apps. I don't have to be a trend setter nor am I trying to be. Do you not know what KiK messenger is Jord?

Also after reading this http://www.engadget.com/2011/06/06/a...l-the-details/ I will not be purchasing another Android phone once my contract is up. Needless to say I wont be purchasing a Crapberry either :P

An iPhone with a hard keyboard = dreamy

I think iMessaging will be pretty neat to the fact,

I like the new iOS 5 with the features espically the new notifications system.

Mac OS Lion It look's good. But I think it need's something else, something more.

I like the iCloud and the way it works, about having all your music on all devices, the fact its free is great.

Though can some one explain this $25 iTunes Match thing?

I think it means if you don't buy your songs through the iTunes store you have to pay 25$ a year to have it stored in the cloud or something :rolleyes:

I like it all, I probably will get the iTunes Match thing but then again I get everything off Spotify so I DUNNO we'll see how that pans out really. I'm content with what I have... but yeah omg iOS 5 looks gorgeous I may actually forfeit my jailbreak for that. iMessage looks awesome, albeit a Blackberry Messenger copy but hey it's Apple, they're only going to do it better than RIM did. Same with notifications, only gonna do it better than Android did. They're ******* experts when it comes to userf-friendly software, and even better with hardware. I am proper excited.

Btw I'm expecting Mac OSX to feature iMessage in the next iOS update, it will deffo be there because it's a bloody good feature to tackle the likes of AIM & MSN. So funny looking at the Engadget comments and all the BB fanboys realising they've wasted their money on a terrible product which I hear regularly clears your contact list. Not that you'll have many people who want to talk to you if you own a Blackberry lol.
