My Blackberry had been giving me some problems lately. For some reason whenever I pressed the “a” button once, instead of just one “a” coming out, multiple “aaaaaa” comes out.
Imagine how frustrating that is when you’re sending messages on a daily basis. “Baaaaaaby I’m coming home right now. Whaaaaaaaaat do you want to do aaaaaafter dinner?”
The problem was getting so severe that I was tempted to buy another Blackberry but I love my current Bold 2. It’s a great phone and I have no urge to change to anything else. So what I did was I visited my friend Eric of Blackberry Housing. He’s the go-to guy in KL when you want to get your Blackberry pimped. I visited him in his new office in Bangsar and in just an hour he got it all sorted out for me. Turns out the problem with the “a” key was just a really small problem. Beneath the keypad there was some residue that made it conduct the signal sooner than the key is supposed to. Once he wiped off that dirt, everything was back to normal.
In the process he stripped apart my Bold 2 and this is how your Bold 2 looks naked.
Such a small device…. yet so powerful!
And this is how the back of it looks.
I remember how the old mobile phones used to look soooo much bigger and yet the phones today does so much more than they did back then. Ahh technology.
After Eric fixed my “a” key I also decided to pimp my BB. I was spoilt for choice but I ended up with this one which was a little bit of a mix and match.
Notice the blue along the front borders is a bit of the glossy shiny kind. The back for this particular case was also of the same kind of blue but I decided that if the back was all shiny blue my phone would look totally “Jeng”.
So I opted for this one.
I love my new BB now. It makes you feel as if you changed to a completely new phone and all for less than RM200 bucks.
