Which 'Apps' do you need? Is your life so boring that you need a mobile telephone to enliven it?

I use a Blackberry for my business and their are plenty of apps if you are willing to look, just they run their own app world, so you wont get them from google play etc.

I bet 'Black Barry' is relieved his services are not required.

Blackberrys are business orientated phones; pretty good as phones and for messaging/email, but nothing great otherwise. (I've got a Blackberry Playbook too, and it's uninspiring.)

Still, way better than Windows phone (which has a crap UI trying not to be an iPhone, and an app store which doesn't work).

i also have Playbook and its OK, but nothing to write home about, they could of made improvements like the promised OS10 and Skype, but instead they have discontinued the Playbook.

Yes even Microsoft have stated the Windows Phones are a flop

BB will last they are placing all their resources onto their new smartphones with OS10, they just seem to forget the amount of their customers on BB phones on OS7 and PB users, so many of their long term customers will just go to other providers.

Strange their attitude, they have great support as my PB that i got reconditioned off ebay stopped charging after 2 months, contacted BB and they collected it sent it to their repair center in Germany and returned a new PB all within 4 days

I hear you can get a "telephone app" for it, which lets you talk to other people
Sounds like a good idea, but I doubt it will ever take off...
