So, I have a BlackBerry PlayBook. I really like it. It's a really good device. What I can't stand about it has absolutely nothing to do with the device itself, but with the people associated with it on BlackBerry forums, along with just about any other BB user. It's driving me NUTS! So many hypocrites...OMG! I don't wish to say something about myself, but those people on that specific forum(the largest one) just about sound like a bunch of blind people who make absolutely ANY kind of excuse to fit their argument. I go in there for some tips and general advice, and I end up getting sidetracked from conversations dealing with something VS. Apple. It's ALWAYS against Apple, and Apple ALWAYS is the bad guy. And for those few people that use devices from both companies...it doesn't go so well for them.
3 recent examples:
-"You don't like BB? Of course you don't, you use an iPhone!"
-"Don't like BB? Just some more Apple sheeple!"
-Sales rep states the PB isn't good, so he responds with "let me guess you're an apple jock sniffer aren't you?" Sales rep says he owns an HP TouchPad.
They themselves use BB and hate Apple. Are they that blind to not realize the hypocrisy in this?
I literally can't find ONE topic without someone eventually starting crap about BB vs. Apple and their users.
I like the PB, but the community seems to be filled with a bunch of morons! As good as the PB is, I want a community where I can go in for advice, feedback, and just about anything else worthy of talking about, without reading a bunch of crap from these people, and because of that, I can't see owning this much longer
knowing that there are actual worthy communities that aren't files with consist at hypocritical crap.
I don't understand how someone could be so full of themselves to think it's their way or the highway.
They all seem like a bunch of 10 year olds.
I have a feeling BB isn't going under just because they are slow to adapt, it's their user community just as much. Sad, because they can actually make a darn good device.
I would state what the forum is, but it's not nice to state a forum within a forum.
Just had to vent for a bit.
I like this place. A LOT. I actually think we get spoiled by the tidiness, and etiquette setting of Mac-Forums.
