BlackBerry yang tepat untuk anda

BlackBerry di Indonesia bertumbuh dengan sangat luar biasa. Sampai CNN pun memberitakan pertumbuhan BlackBerry di Indonesia. Dulu membeli BlackBerry adalah suatu kemewahan sekarang telah menjadi kebutuhan. Di tambah lagi dengan adanya BlackBerry Gemini 8520 yang cukup dengan merogoh kocek Rp2,7juta saja. Service provider Axis pun telah memberikan BlackBerry Internet Services dengan harga terjangkau: Rp100.000/bulan/unlimited data.

BlackBerry Type apa yang seharusnya anda beli? Ini adalah pendapat pribadi saya.

Hindarkan BlackBerry Bold 9000, walaupun BlackBerry type ini di asosiasikan TOP-of-the-Line BlackBerry, tetapi Bold 9000 ini memiliki beberapa kelemahan:
- Bentuknya yang besar membuat tangan kita lelah untuk percakapan lebih dari 5 menit.
- Memory application yang kecil 100MB. Apa itu memory application? Berbeda dengan Device Memory, application memory itu khusus diperuntukan untuk meng-install aplikasi. Karena memory application Bold 9000 hanya 100MB maka jika kita meng-install terlalu banyak application akan membuat Bold 9000 berjalan sangat lambaaat sekali. Solusi: harus menggunakan QuickPull (reboot/restart BlackBerry tanpa harus cabut batere) atau cabut battery setiap hari.
BlackBerry Javelin 8900: Kecil dan enak untuk di genggam dan tidak membuat lengan lelah untuk percakapan lebih dari 5 menit, memory application yang besar 256MB. 2G, WIFI dan GPS.
BlackBerry Gemini 8520: Paling sesuai untuk kocek terbatas: Trackpad yang lebih nyaman di banding dengan trackball, memory application yang besar: 256MB. 2G dan WIFI. Tidak ada GPS.
BlackBerry Bold Onyx 9700: TOP-of-the-Line, harga turun terus… Good deal!
BlackBerry Storm 9500 dan 9520: Hindarkan beli BlackBerry ini walaupun ada yang jual bekas dengan harga bagus dan mulus. Ketik tidak enak dan kebanyakan pengguna BlackBerry Storm 9500 dan 9530 menghibur diri karena sudah terlanjur beli.
BlackBerry Storm 9550 dan 9530: Perbaikan dari BlackBerry Storm sebelumnya, jauh lebih baik, tapi apakah anda terbiasa mengetik dengan virtual keyboard (layar sentuh)?

Pilihan saya:

Untuk level pemula: BlackBerry Gemini 8520
Untuk level menengah: BlackBerry Javelin 8900
Untuk level tinggi: BlackBerry Bold Onyx 9700

Virtual Vs. Physical

If you are a Windows Mobile or an iPhone fan you love touchscreen and virtuality. If you are a Nokia or a BlackBerry user you may love physical keyboard. Both symbolize how you prefer to learn your user experience. For years, notebook and desktop computer experience offer a full physical experience through mouse and qwerty keyboard. Slow but progressing, more and more tablet PC and smart-phones adding virtual experience: touchscreen.

Does virtualization gives more productivity? Will virtual keyboard and virtual mouse gives us the edge or simply a visual fascination?

Physical Mouse and TrackPad	Virtual Mouse (Microsoft Version)	Video: Microsoft waves goodbye to the mouse
You arm is at ease, only your wrist moving. It doesn’t require much energy, no matter how big the screen is, only your wrist and finger do the work. Extremely precise and accurate. Not much callibration needed.	In a small screen such as smart-phone, only your finger is moving, but for a large screen such as tablet PC, your elbow will do the work. In a more then 32″ plasma or LCD monitor, your arm will do the work. Moving your elbow or your entire arm requires much more energy them just moving your wrist and finger. Not precise and accurate, it needs constant callibration.

How BlackBerry Conquered Indonesia. Is Android Next?

admin — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 01:15:34 +0000

I was an avid Nokia Communicator (Smartphone) user. I’ve been using Nokia Communicator since Nokia 9210 to E90. The last Nokia I’ve used was Nokia E71. I’ve migrated to BlackBerry Bold 9000 in November 2008 and hooked to it ever since.

There are many reasons why I like to use BlackBerry smart-phones. These are some of the reasons why BlackBerry has captured the heart and mind of many Indonesians.

It took me about 3 minutes to startup my Windows notebook and took me another 2 minutes to fire up browser and to login into my GMAIL account. Getting my email on my BlackBerry is as just instant as looking at my watch.
Checking my email on my notebook need a place to sit. Checking my email on BlackBerry can be done standing up and walking.
If it took me about 5 minutes from starting up my notebook to login to my GMAIL. Chatting with my friend using Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk will take me another 2 minutes, totaled 7 minutes just to check email and to open chatting application.
It took me another minute to shut down my notebook. So every time I’d like to check my email and chat will require me an additional 8 minutes. Not cool!
Checking email and chat with my friends through my BlackBerry can be done instantly.

Nokia should launch Nokia Messaging like BlackBerry Internet Services with fixed monthly fee, I would think about getting back to Nokia. But wait… maybe not. Symbian S60 is slow and can be quite unresponsive. I would like keep my BlackBerry and buy an iPhone 3GS and an htc Hero to try the emerging and intuitive user interface (UI) of Android.

BlackBerry is a solid and secure smart-phones but a boring one. Android, however, just like GMAIL, slow but sure, has already being groomed by htc, SonyEricsson and Samsung. Who’s next?

Buh bye Nokia….
