Coming from the lines of O2 and Palm Treo smartphones, Jebus got hold of his very first BlackBerry in 2009. It was an instant love affair. It wasn’t just the typical smartphone for him, it was everything else that he could have ever wanted from a smartphone. Naturally a stubborn person, Jebus was very eager to tinker the BlackBerry, thus he frequently read BlackBerry blogs and forum discussing and arguing everything about it. It finally hit him, since he was totally hooked, Jebus bought and crafted bbmanila.com as his own BlackBerry blog and musing space around March of 2010. From then on bbmanila.com ranked top on search engines for local BlackBerry searches and the user base became huge with bbmanila.com Facebook page facebook.com/bbmug

With constant BlackBerry software and technical issues posted on the Facebook page – Jebus decided and being a huge BlackBerry fan who wanted to share the BlackBerry love, created a simple forum as an extension of the blog at bbmanila.com/blackberrysupport. It has then become the hub of all sorts of discussions on troubleshooting BlackBerry concerns for BBManila users. You can find him in the forum as the “all knowing and obnoxious” Jebus.
