Just HALF of 10m iPhone, Android BlackBerry BBM app downloads activated

FAIL

Installed and Dumped

I only installed the app because I was sick of not getting replies to SMS because people had no credit left (I have unlimited text which I never use so god knows what others are doing with texts, maybe eating them)

So after peeing about making an account and then begging my contacts to accept me, all I kept getting was stupid two letter messages and updates about what mp3 someone was listening to. Quite frankly, my nieces taste in music is her own affair and I don't need to know.

Then, the final straw was that my battery was draining so fast that I thought I had a case of amnesia and forgot to charge it that morning. Enough is enough, BBM has gone in the bin, as no doubt the company will be very soon.

Sony e-book reader to debut in UK tomorrow

Thumb Up

Don't buy one then

Since childhood I have loved books, but they went out the window when I got my Palm.

Now going into my ancient years (37) I am going blind trying to keep up with the flicker and size of a PDA and I for one cannot wait to get hold of this one.

As for the comment about the refresh being 'half a second' and this being some how bad? Exactly how do you turn the pages of a book?

If you want a PDA or Mini Laptop then get one, but if you are a book fiend that is tired of lugging around anologue tomes then this is a nice addition to your library and about time too!
