There are a lot more of closet fans out there than you'd think. Just make it known that you're a fan and eventually more people will come to like it and you.

As I learned, just be interesting and ur good...
We were made to share something interesting about us in english today and... well how is "I beat the Elite 4" better than "Lived in Japan for 4 years" or "I parachuted off a mountian" or "Stayed in a haunted house"
With my interesting, I kinda said something about my hair (which was dyed a pinky red color the day before school started, to make a splash)

That's weird. I don't know anybody who uses a Blackberry here in the States. Everyone either has an iPhone or an Android, and the iPhone users think that Apple is superior and the Android users hate iPhones. It's assumed that people who have Blackberries probably use Internet Explorer and eat glue.

What's weird that that's literally the exact assumption that some of my classmates have!
"Blackberry users? You didn't hear that people of that nature eat glue and are insist on using Internet Explorer?"

This is people from rich families, so yeah XD BBM is the thing here. People get BlackBerries just to use BBM.

Nah, it really is a waste to get a phone just for Blackberry Messenger. I mean, why not use MSN or AIM or something instead?
There's AIM and MSN for the iPhone and Android phones, too...
Or you could use WhatsApp.

Or you could use an app called touch. Use it. I use it. Oh and it's not like really posh school that rich people go to. And anyway, according to me, APPLE RULE DA WORLD OF PHONES AND STUFF. I had I iPhone, buuuuuut I sorta lost it. But I have an iPod touch instead (like everyone else in my year). Blackberries? That's more of a typical phone for work people, rather than kids. My dad told me something about which type of people had which phones, and I'm telling ya, the people with iPhones had the better jobs.
I've decided I'm not gonna tell anyone about my liking for Pokemon. Cos ill make it kinda obvious.

Haha, Blackberries are NOT dead (unfortunately). You do actually get a lot of business people still using them, over here anyways. I think it's about 30% business men and women with the high end blackberries and 70% college kids (the kind that don't get any GCSEs or at least that have large friend groups where everyone uses a Blackberry for BBM - the kind of people that go around in groups where everyone wears the same thing - ironic considering Blackberry's new atttempt at advertising "if you have Android or iPhone then you're a crowd-folowing sheep whereas if you have a Blackberry you're an individual"!). They're pretty common round here actually.
I personally like Android best but I try not to hate on iPhones, even though they do piss me off sometimes. My opinion is that the Android interface is best suited for me and the iPhone interface best suits iPhones users. It just pisses me off when they say things like 'the Android interface is too complex, the beauty of the iPhone interface is that it's so simple and anyone can use it and the design is most pleasing to the eye, it's like scientifically proven' when, for me the iPhone interface is confusing compared to Android (why does your back button change depending on what I'm looking at? Sometimes it's 'back', sometimes it's 'done', I never know what I'm looking for! On my phone has a dedicated back button - always back, whatever you're doing, like a B button on a gameboy, very reliable) and I think the iPhone interface is awfully ugly. Not everyone is going to like it - that kind of thing is subjective and that's fine, but that's why it's annoying when SOME iPhone users try and tell me that their iPhone is so clearly superior for reasons that can't be proven.

Lol, I have the exact same issue with Androids... my aunt let me fiddle around on her Android for a while. I was completely lost. I was like, "Why is it automatically giving me words on top of the keyboard? How do you get to the menu? Can you download apps on this thing? Why is C+P so hard to do? Where's the forwards button on the Internet? How the hell do you work this thing?" XD

I currently have a Blackberry but if I had to choose between Android or iPhone, I'd easily choose Android.

I completely agree with you here. I have an iPhone and I really like it; I tried to use an Android once, too, Flame Mistress, and I couldn't figure it out, either. But everyone's different and so different phone layouts suit different people.

I'm pretty sure Blackberries aren't dead, but I usually see more adults use them than any people my age. I remember when they were really popular (I've had two of them before!) but now it seems like iPhones are taking over.
Not that I have a problem with that, I love my iPhone
Anyway, I started school last week. My first class is just an elective and it should be enjoyable but I'm so cranky in the mornings :/ But I know I'll get over it soon, once I get used to waking up early.

Yeah, I guess so. As someone who's been using an iPhone since the age of 8, it's natural that I feel more comfortable with it XD
YOU HAD IPHONE WHEN YOU WERE EIGHT!!! I'm 11 I have a freebie phone that my mum got when she got her iPhone 4s. My family is totally apple. Apple computers, mac books, iPhones, iPods, iMacs. The only thing we lack is an iPad.
As in terms of phones, I want a Samsung Galaxy SIII. Which I think is android.... But then I also have an iPod touch.
So either iPhone or android...

Oh, no, my dad let me play on his ^^; I did get my first iPhone when I was 10, though. My whole family uses iPhones, but we don't have any other Apple products.

Same with me - my family has iPhones, but we use PCs with Windows. I can't believe you young'uns with cellphones in middle school. I didn't have a cellphone of my own until I got my driver's license at 16. Before then, if my sister and I went out with friends, we took this little pay-as-you-go freebie phone that we were only allowed to use to call our parents if we needed to be picked up somewhere or if we had an emergency.
