yeah we tried that and they're old as ball, like they're not even phone snapped.

admin wants me to drill through them but erm I don't think that's a great idea

same thing you should do with every old phone
wipe them from the handheld and donate them to a women's shelter

hey what's the proper way to destroy blackberries to make sure the data isn't too recoverable?

we have a pile at work that I've been tasked with disposing off

they're really loving old too

run the secure delete function from the security menu.

it does a complete overwrite of the device storage, which is why it take like 20 minutes to run.

then donate them to the women's shelter, you monster.

like I wouldn't give them to a women's shelter because heir abusive husband could beat them to death with the things and then I'd feel bad

BlackBerry�s square-screened phone to free us from our �rectangular world�

http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2014/07/blackberrys-square-screened-phone-to-free-us-from-our-rectangular-world/

quote:

One could argue that this is the idealized design for a touchscreen phone, arrived at after years of research and development and even more years of booming sales. BlackBerry would argue that all phones look like this because innovation is dead.

quote:

The Passport is a play for BlackBerry's "traditional" work-oriented user base, where the earlier BlackBerry Z10 and Z30 were efforts to break into the post-iPhone consumer smartphone space. Though the Passport may well be preferable for spreadsheets and word processing, that square screen will be much less useful for widescreen movies, and its wide, blocky design will entirely prohibit one-handed use.

This is a phablet for "professional" users.

As it is a BB device, it is not NSA ready.

Not to be compared to iPhones and Androids as it marches to its own beat.

Forget about trying to comparing it to iPhones, Androids, Windows phones as it merely suggests that you cannot think out of the circles and rectangles.

Unless you have been keeping up with Advance Design ideas, Z10, Q10, Z30 have all won Red Dot design awards.

I am quite certain that the Passport will be another winner of the Red Dot Design award, in time to come.

You want to spend time flipping phones side ways? Then this phablet is not for you!

If you are a busy lawyer, accountant, stock broker, doctor, journalist, engineer, VIP or another professional, this phablet will be worth a look.

If all you do is text, chat, and kill time on social media, this phone is not for you as you definitely cannot walk swinging one arm and type at the same time with it.

how the passport was designed

:butt:

"hey lets make another phone with a keyboard!"

:downs:

"but its going to look stupid when looking at a picture or video in landscape, which 99% of smartphones users do everyday"

:butt:

"make the screen square and then there is no reason to ever use landscape and we'll save on development!"

:downs:

"makes sense to me!"

ford chat

quote:

"Ford broke things, got into fights with other residents," said one source with knowledge of the mayor's time in rehab at the resort-turned-drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility in Muskoka.

"Ford stopped people from sharing their stories, which is key to a successful rehab experience," said another source. "Other residents felt intimidated. They felt he was a bully. He was always saying he did not belong there."

...

In the hallways and common areas, Ford argued, pushed and shoved other patients who were angry that Ford had "brought his circus with him," sources said.

they think he was still using drugs and alcohol as well.

EDIT: Rob Ford stays seated during World Pride standing ovation; Doug triggers ruckus at council

quote:

The spat started during debate over a recommendation from Integrity Commissioner Janet Leiper, who suggested council ask the mayor to apologize for making inaccurate comments in robocalls against Councillor Paul Ainslie .

�I don�t know if you don�t understand English� Doug Ford said to Speaker Frances Nunziata when she demanded he retract and apologize for comments he made to Councillor Shelley Carroll .

The Carroll comment brought Councillor Maria Augimeri to her feet demanding that the comment be retracted.

wow, a keyboard with half the characters i want to type so every sentence needs the on screen keyboard bringing up, covering more of the screen. and the only trade off is a huge device that doesnt really count as a phone, has a hardware keyboard permanently taking up space and no developers are interested in supporting it?

where do i sign?
