Everyone is no doubt on a Blackberry craze and it seems like it has come to blow the ever so respected IPhone out of the water here in Trinidad and Tobago. When one thinks about it, the ratio of Blackberry to I-Phone owners it is indeed overwhelming!
Not being a phone fanatic ironically seeing that I work in a telecommunications company, I have come to both admire and detest the complexities of these handsets, my apologies, SMARTPHONES. I do however like my fellow partner on GospelGlobe share the view that we must appreciate the more simple things in life.
Do you remember being in high school and owning your very first mobile phone? Does the acronym TDMA ring a bell? Do you remember the very limited features you had to work with on this bulky hardware?

These features were on non colored screens, only three games at most (most popular being Snake), calculator, text editor and the fun ended there! Compared to these newer phones with GPRS/EDGE, WI-FI, Bluetooth, FM radio, MP3/MP4 Players, Instant messaging, Emails, Barcode readers and metal detectors (huh!???), it makes things a thousand times more complicated for the average 'granny' and simpleton that can't be bothered by it all.
Though many may see the Blackberry, I phone, HTC and Droids to be the thing that's happening, they seem not to meet the most basic of needs like its counterpart...THE ME TOO!!!!
They can add blood sugar testers, lasers, pepper spray to these things, but it continues to be deficient of basic needs and I will highlight them below:
1. When all around you is dark
So you're out camping and the fire won't light, no candles are in sight, and only the glow of a firefly seems so bright! Whatever do you do? ME TOO TO THE RESCUE!
Smartphones don't have flashlights man! Ditch the new and go old school with a cheap nokia flashlight phone.
2. Low Bars
You’re in the gully and yuh know the bad man dem coming for you…It’s time to call to call the posse to handle this scene. The I Phone's not picking up anything…. Whatever do you do? ME TOO TO THE RESCUE!
Pull out that Sony Ercison dada! Make a quick contact to babylon and handle that scene.

3. Screen Freeze
You’re in the most boring meeting of your life and you need to get your mind on something fun. So you whip out the Blackberry Storm to BBM your panda….uh ohh the screen freeze up! Whatever do you do? ME TOO TO THE RESCUE!
Send a normal text homey! That’s what My Lime's there for. Conduct a serious talk on $5.00 or less.
4. Battery DEAD!
You're talking with the hunny and they were now about to tell you that three worded statement you love to hear, and before you know, two beeps sound off and the phone turns off the radio. Whatever do you do? ME TOO TO THE RESCUE!
Nothing outlasts a Nokia battery palos. Talk for more than two hours straight!
I can go on and on about so many other scenarios but it’s definite that nothing beats simplicity! While all the others are fully equipped with endless apps and cool features, in times of trouble we still have to rely upon the ever so frowned upon me too.
