I always said that we live in a country that has its own world. Technology here does not progress except when it comes to fashion or chatting. Other than that we do not care about anything else.
I am an iPhone owner and I did not do it for the “coolness” but because the iPhone provide everything I need. Chatting is not something I need. My iPhone provides me with the ability to read my work and personal emails through their application. It has many amazing applications to help you in your day to day life, and also it has some games which I usually play with my wife and friends. It also has chatting applications but I stopped using MSN and all the chat applications 2 years ago.
Now, Kuwaitis have this thing when it comes to “free” chat and fashion and I really did not know that blackberry was made for fashion. Hanging your blackberry around your neck with classy cases does not make you ALL that. what is makes you is someone who is trying to show off something that approx half of has it.
Also just a few days back one guy told me that he BB-pined a girl. BB-PINED A GIRL. seriously?? SERIOUSLY? So now instead of using your mobile number to “hook up” it is using bb pin? I read once in an article from the UK how people used their “bluetooth” to hook up in the gulf region. Remember that period? imagine when they kow about the blackberry hooking up.
Although up to date stats show that blackberry sold approx 29 Million handsets and the iPhone sold up to 22 Million. I believe this is due to many restrictions from Apple (hope you see it Steve) on their iPhone. Out of those 29 Million I think that 80% are used for business and the others for “hooking up”.
Well I hope one of the three operators in Kuwait start selling hte iPhone because many people are taking advantage of the situation and selling the new 3GS model for 380 KD and that is only the 16GB !!
