I gotta bone to pick with Robin Monique!

"I gotta bone to pick with Robin Monique!"

Dear Robin,

Lately you’ve been doing a lot of whining about how badly you want to get rid of me. Your ass has been downright rude. All over Twitter talking about how my applications are sucky and that you’re so called “over” my sexy touch screen capabilities. I know you daydream of Blackberrys with all of their supposed “awesomeness” and the “miracle” that is BlackBerry Messenger. So next month you’ll have the opportunity to trade me in and upgrade to something you think is so much better. But before you do, let me remind you of a few things:

  • I worked just fine until that evening you decided to tipsy text/Tweet while drinking that sticky pink shit. Remember? You spilled X-Rated on me which is why four of my main buttons no longer work. Don’t think you can really blame the folks at Palm for that one.
  • You keep talking about better applications. You barely TOUCH the applications that I have! When was the last time you did anything other than text, Tweet, internet browse or make a phone call from me? Miss me with all that ish about being a “young businesswoman” I can count with one key how often you’ve used me to read a document or a spreadsheet.
  • That BBM ish that everyone keeps praising looks no different than my threaded text messaging feature. So it moves faster than text? How effin fast do you need to receive information???
  • All this BlackBerry talk is nothing more than you trying to keep up with the Joneses. You just want to be one of the “cool kids” who exchanges pin numbers instead of phone numbers. So you’re going to spend money that you really don’t need to spend so you don’t feel left out of crowd? You suck for that.

Here is a thought: Pay the $50 deductible to get me replaced, get a cute little case to keep the new me protected, keep the sticky liquor away from me, read up on what you can do with me and shut the hell up already. You keep talking all this BS and I guarantee my internet browser will suddenly get as slow as hell.

Sincerely,

The Centro

    Girl tell yo phone to sit down! BBM is a gift from God. It also lets me know when my msg was sent and READ. On my last BB I had 45 BBM contacts. That’s quite a bit, but I have since downgraded. Not to mention you can have group BBM convos and the ish is just EXCLUSIVE. You must have a BB to be down with me like that.

    I use a lot of my Apps on my BB. Sprint Navi (Which I’m sure you have on your centro) is AMAZING! I got Pandora, TwitterBerry (Soon to be TweetGenius), Facebook, AIM, GChat (which both cun run at the same time on the BB unlike the iPhone). The BB is amazing. Seriously. Why do other phones exist?

    LOL. I got a GOOD chuckle out of that. I think my AT&T Tilt would say some of the same things to me. I’ve been eyeing that iPhone for a minute (after swearing to NEVER succumb to the hype)… and I may have to make my move in June whether I can upgrade or NOT in this bish.

    I so loved this!

    As a re-formed BB lover, I can tell you that your Centro is right! I too wanted to be part of the cool kids. Then I got in and now I know that the only cool thiggs about being in the group are these:
    a). Access to full QWERTY keyboard
    b). Access to BB messenger (which you pay a bulk load for… read the fine print)
    c). PUSH email.

    Truth is … the price for the BB is just way too high for NOTHING!

    And the fact is … I, and by extension you, can get this and more for less. We just have to do our research. Plus, all the REALLY COOL kids do not own BB’s … they FUCK the established status quo :)
