You are right. I think the fact people overlook is that there are a lot of teens who own blackberries. I am a substitute teacher and see them all day long in the middle schools.

I don’t like to download any application because of limited memory of phone. I’ll prefer a web application like http://fonet.mobi which has lots of features and I can access the web site either from phone or desktop browser. I always goes to myspace mobile site.

I don’t think this is a surprise. BlackBerries have slowly but surely (and quietly) infiltrated the consumer space. I would bet that the huge majoirty of owners of Pearls are not business folk. (i think the Curve is probbaly half and half).

And with the Storm being released, a new Curve around the corner, the pearl flip that recently came out…we’ll probably see more of this.

I just hope to see blogs like TC and others actually pay attention to this. I’m tired of the articles of useless iPhone applications. I want to read articles of useless BlackBerry applications damnit!

I really dont understand how this comes as a shock to anyone. Myspace is way more used than Facebook will ever be. Facebook is more professional but Myspace is way more fun and way more addicting. Hell, I was waiting for a Myspace app from the moment that I bought my Blackberry.

The proof is in the pudding why do you think they have a record label and all tv shows, musicians, movie stars, etc, etc all have Myspace pages? It’s the easier better social network.

Michael, you will be pleased to know that we are helping with relieving the suits of their briefcases. At Exsafe with the Blackberry version, the user has access to all of their office content- documents, spreadsheets, notes, pdf etc, via our secured and managed store in the cloud on the Blackberry anytime, anywhere. No more lugging of laptops around! Open to suggestions on eliminating the ‘Tie’

I can see why this is surprising to TC. As an avid reader one can only take so many facebook and iPhone posts, especially about apps that have really no value. I guess we get used to lack of BlackBerry posts because its a Canadian company on TC. Im a crackberry addict and have both fb and myspace accounts I must say the myspace app is much more intuitive and the photo album viewer is very slick!.

BlackBerry is already the business mobile leader. What is amazing to think that its about to be the consumer mobile device leader. Stats like this really start to confirm this.

….oh and twitter too. basically no one in new york that doesn’t actively follow startup tech has heard of it.

agreed.

reading techcrunch its easy to feel that iphones are the end all, and blackberry is just a cute business class product. i’m in a top university and i’d say the breakdown among 20 year olds is 85% blackberry 15% iphone. the whole east coast is blackberry. most of america is myspace.

arrington’s buddies are iphone and facebook, so that’s what the rules are in the TechCrunchUniverse

The argument that BB users are just a bunch of supposedly uncreative biz types is clueless to begin with but it is funny to hear this. I had the same experience – gave my daughter my old iphone and though she liked it she ended up asking for a curve!

In Los Angeles I see as many Blackberries as iPhones among the hipster/entertainment set, the same people who formed the original userbase for MySpace. There seems to be a trend toward iPhones as old Blackberry service plans age out.
