according to research firm Gartner, blackberry's share of the global smartphone market has fallen to a rounded-off 0.0% after shipping just 207,000 phones last quarter.

entirely coincidentally, blackberry is suing nokia over patent infringement claims, specifically seeking payment instead of blocking nokia's usage of the technologies.

not sure that qualifying statement was needed tbh.

a coworker of mine uses a blackberry by choice, every email has "Sent from my BlackBerry - the world's most secure phone" or some similarly cringey as gently caress phrase. not a great idea to expose yourself as a blackberry user if you're meant to be selling people on new things.

This isn't Blackberry trying to recapture a market. This device is a goodbye to their faithful; a chance to keep their beloved keyboards and move to a new platform. This their last device, that's what they've said. The name will live on but not actual Blackberries as we have known them.

It's a thankyou to the people who love the company.

I work with a guy who uses a blackberry and his email signature is "Sent from a BlackBerry 10 device! That's right a BlackBerry! Do you have a problem with that?"

the four loving shapes of things on the earpiece bezel, that is the worst part, the super busy dots instead of a slot, what I'm guessing is a LED indicator, proximity sensor, and selfie camera, all different sizes and just hideous

more people shoplifted Blackberries and returned them for store credit than the number of people who bought them

when i got my last phone, at&t was running a promotion where you would get $40 in at&t store credit for every blackberry you brought in, regardless of carrier it was from or the type of it, it just had to be able to power on long enough to verify the screen worked.

and you could get a bunch of blackberry bolds or whatever for $10-$20 all over the place, so i got a bunch of those pieces of poo poo, turned them in, and ended up paying very little for my phone

possession of a Blackberry is clear evidence of shoplifting a Blackberry but it's a victimless crime and so shouldn't be punished
