Hi all

I want to buy new phone,because I am not happy with my current ( samsung s3)
and I am thinking about some blackberry os7 or older,because I don`t like touch screen and laging of androind. And I had nokia e72,and I didn`t like that too.
I heard that bb shuting off a lot and have similar bad sides as android,but I never had bb,so I need some help with that.
I dont use applications,sometimes whatsapp,so I am thinking bb or some feature phone.

Any advice or experince would be helpfull.

    I use Blackberry because they are cheap to run at home and abroad. I spend less than £20 for six months of data usage in the UK and £7.50 covers a month of data usage abroad.. covers WhatsApp and emails etc

    You can also pick up an older Blackberry for not too much. Example

    One of the cheapest ways to run a Blackberry is to buy a SIM then set up a plan, top up £20 and then to add the 6 Month Blackberry Booster

    That will cover your WhatsApp/email usage for six months.
