pro tip: any competent hairstylist will tell you how to get your hair cut based on your bone structure and personal style. different haircuts look good on different people not just because of the quality of their hair but because of the shape of their face.

if your loving head is a perfect egg shape do not get a haircut that emphasizes that, my god. did he go to supercuts or some poo poo

imo passport looks cool as hell

its big but sounds like battery lasts 3 days which is worth it for the addicts

Balance tech is great because gently caress carrying 2 phones like every BB user

Blend looks like an auto-VPN to your phone? never seen it but sounds decent especially the security

hardware keyboard > all

square screen really useful for doc review

all in all I hope it isn't a total piece of poo poo and BB pays devs to build the handful of key apps everyone wants in a hurry o7

Colin Gillis, an analyst at electronic brokerage BGC, specifically expressed his view with a haiku � a traditional Japanese poem consisting of three lines of five, seven and five syllables, respectively:

August revenue
May fall below consensus
And pull the stock back

Gillis cut his rating and Blackberry shares BBRY, -6.76% to hold, about three months after upgrading them to buy. Turning to prose more befitting your traditional analyst, Gillis wrote: �While we remain positive on the effort of current management, the quarterly results that the company prints [Friday] may prove underwhelming.�

In thinking about it, this review could stand in as a metaphor for women in the workplace. Mrs Stern doesn't need a "work phone" she needs one that she can use to play on... and play at business. When given a power tool to use she finds that she is not comfortable with it. I'm sure this would also be true if she was given a power saw, a major court case, a billion or two to manage or a major story to report.

Mrs Stern, like her children, should stick with the iPhone. It is made for women and children to use. Easy to use and to master, the iPhone will not tax their intellect or their (limited) attention.

Typical MSM review of a BB technology. Apple can put cow dung in a box and said reviewer will be declaiming its cutting edge technology and 'cool' factor. I bought a Passport. Blows iphone and android away and is easily the best phone I have used. In fact ms reviewer the PP is a Phablet - meaning it is supposed to be larger than your little iphone 4 and the target market are high end professionals who use a lot of data, files, or need a productivity tool. Not housemoms and teenies who cling to their Apple bibles. Male professionals will love the PP. Females interested in 'chatting', snapchatting, and pretty colors will stay with their bendable iphones. Media is so far in the bag for Apple it is embarrassing.
