Many people will immediately connect with the topic above and may have experienced similar! Recently, I also faced similar decisions.
I am talking about Blackberry phone! Most of initial period of Mobile world till 2009, I was using some phones from either Nokia or Sony Ericsson. I was happy with voice calls and occasional texting. But in 2010, the mobile world changed for me when I started using a Blackberry! Initially, I make mistakes typing using their legendary QWERTY keyboard, but less than 6 months, I was so good in typing in Blackberry that, I could type 2 page email reply in less than 10 minutes!
Then in 2012, I tried with iconic Apple IPhone, but could not type well like Blackberry so, did not continue. Listening music was never my passion, so I gave up IPhone.
But in 2013, I got a 7″ Samsung TAB3 211 as I was finding my going obsolete. When people were talking about Apps either on Android or IOS, I had nothing to say or I was blank most of the time. And after using for 5 months, I find 7″ screen good to look at! I have also learned to type using touchpad which I could not do with IPhone!
And now is the time to upgrade my old warhorse Blackberry 9780 which served me very well! I am in a fix to decide which way to move, abandon all together QWERTY and joining touchpad wagon or continue with QWERTY! If I choose touchpad, my skill in QWERTY will go waste forever!
Such is the dillema and painful decision in life in order not to go obsolete!
