Why do we have to take advantage of everything we get free or go for seconds and thirds and fill our hands with what ever we can carry if its FREE?
Why do we go crazy when we even hear the words Unlimited or Free?
Is it in our genes?
I am going to drift FAR off topic, let me poke a little fun of a phone which you can find in almost everyones pocket these days - Blackberry.
I know fully well this next part will invite a lot of "hatred" from blackberry users and they might ask why does it bother me, so my answer is, No, it does not bother me that so many people use it, its their personal preference, my next paragraph is simply my thoughts about it.
As everybody has realised, "Blackberries" have taken the market by storm.
Its a craze right now, and owning one, shows you're popular and "social"
Tell you the truth, if you have a blackberry, there is really no point in meeting the people on your BBM list, because when you actually meet them, you barely have anything to talk about.
Why?
Cause you're always in touch, always "bbming" and "PINGING" eachother, sending pictures, songs and videos. Take a look at your garden when you get the chance, notice once kids reach the age of 12 or 13 and they get their blackberries, the swings and slides remain unused, they're sitting down on their phones and most of them have forgotten what its like to play, get dirty or just be immature while they still can.
College teenagers, If someone needed to find you and kill you, all they had to do was take a look at your status, cause bb users are always uploading what they're doing at that moment.
So much for secrecy, if a stalker wanted information, they wouldn't need to meet anyone to get to know them, check out their Facebook, their blackberry status and boom! Known them for years!
This broad phone with a keypad which takes time to get used to, and bare minimum features, sells faster than Viagra at a Victoria's secret fashion show.

Why?
Because Blackberry has studied the Indian mentality and used it to their advantage.
Pay a certain amount (usually 300) and get BBM and internet FREE.

An interesting story to shed some light:
On brining up the popular argument with a friend of which phone is better, we listed the features,
I use a Nokia C7
He uses a Blackberry Curve 8520
Obviously, my phone won hands down as far as features went.

The amount he paid anually for his bbm, put his phone way above my phones price range.
Realising his phone was very badly out ranked by mine, he desperately tried his last defense:
"Your phone does not have UNLIMITED texts and FREE sending of pictures, songs and videos"
I responded, "You pay roughly 300 rupees a month for that, and that does not cover call charges"
He said, "But still, you pay 300 rupees a month and its all FREE and UNLIMITED"
Smiling, i replied, "Sure, if you're that stupid, I have a great deal for you, give me 5000 rupees and I'll give you a pair of aviators FREE"
I rest my case.

We NEED to get out of this train of thought and SOON.
