So my user name CrackedRosco comes from my what I thought was my complete loyalty to BlackBerry combined with my French Bulldog named Rosco. I've had pretty much every BlackBerry including the BlackBerry 10 Devices such as the Z10, Q10, and Z30 (all GREAT devices I might add).
So starting with the iPhone 4s, each time there was a new iPhone I would give it a whirl because of all the great things said about the device. Well, each item after a day or two, I'd be right back to one of my faithful BlackBerries because they just worked for me.
So that brings us to today. A few days in to using the iPhone 6. I grabbed a 64GB in Gold and am using the Brown Leather Apple Case and I think the Khaki on Gold appearance looks really sharp.
It just simply made sense to finally switch. I own an iMac, MacBook Pro, iPad, and iPad Mini. With all the features across the Apple devices for sharing it makes things so simple.
I will say this though. I'm not a big app guy so this didn't matter for my switching decision. It really was the ease of use with other Apple/Mac products. It has its other bonuses such as a much better camera than any of my BlackBerries and iMessage is nice as there are not many people left on BBM (although it's a much safer messaging platform with better things available then just messages, etc). I also truly believe BlackBerry was on to something with the HUB. It's a truly dynamic was to put all messages in one place simplify communication. Unfortunately, the apps contained within the HUB where less than average. And lastly, BlackBerry email is what it is. It's great, period. No matter how I configure my iPhone settings it can't compete with the Push speed of all email on BlackBerry, but I'm all right with that because what I now see as all the other potential advantages. I looks like Apple may have just won another one over.
