Thread: Hybrids?????What??????!!

I've got a fever, and the only prescription is more leaked OS's...

But since that will never happen for the 9530 I've got a question that has not been answered to me in a while.

Q: Are Hybrids really a game changer?
Explanation to the Question: Is there really any change in performance, battery life, Internet speed, etc. etc. that I should try them out??

I Do not mean in any way to bash the makers of the Hybrids, I still say you 'creators' are doing a great job with splicing together different files. I know I do not have the patience to learn what files do what and where. So please, do not take this as an attack. It's just that, there are SO MANY different opinions on them and I do not know what to think...
I simply would like an explanation directed to me... thank you for any explanations.

I have to say that each hybrid that does come out does improve the performance of the bb. With myself, it all started with increased battery life, then proceeded to a notable difference in performance speed. The we got into shrinking an os which improved memory. Then our hybrid geniuses decided to start throwing everything into the same neat little package. Now we have improved memory, battery life, performance speed and in some instances, faster bb browser, although I myself think its just a faster performance as a whole and not the browser.

In a nutshell, the storm I have today is no way shape or form like the storm when I first purchased it. Think of it like this, you buy a shit box for a car, and over time you add to it, fix it and finally end up with one that everyone wants.

Personally, I think the best hybrid out there is OneofaKindPC, but I must say lyricidal is really nipping at his heels. Sorry guys, one of you had to be second.

Each Hybrid that is "created" will bring a new mix of functionality to certain users. This is the beauty of a hybrid. Some will work perfectly on your device, with your habits and what-not, and others will not work well for you at all, but will make somebody else's life an utopia.
Hybrid makers have my respect, I neither have the patience, nor the technical ability to mix certain files to make these things run.
If you read the write-ups on the hybrids, you'll find where they are strong and where they fall short. If the shortcomings are a non-issue for your application, try it. If you haven't found one yet that will work for you, there is probably one that will be perfect tomorrow.....

Thank for the input guys! I guess I was getting a little ansy about something I do not know much about, haha.
But thank you for putting in some ideas. I will definitely be thinking differently about the hybrids this time around!

Thanks!
