i like that bb10 makes it such a pain in the rear end to set up an active-sync account that we regularly have people asking if they can set up pop and smtp on their exchange servers just for bb users. this has been a solved problem for literally everyone (well, maybe not android) since 2008, how are you still making it this complicated?

there was a period around 2006-2008 when bbry was the accessory of choice for celebrities. qwerty keyboard + rly good messenger + decent hardware design (compared to poo poo like winphone treos and the motorola q) made it the thing to be seen holding or pecking away at. when paris hiltons phone got hacked, it was a blackberry. once the iphone hit 3gs and got some apps and wasnt only available on a single overloaded network that changed but at the peak of its powers bbry was a desirable fashion brand

yeah sidekicks were cool because they were texting machines with a full keyboard (and I think unlimited texts), and they also saved your pictures in the cloud. then sidekick was acquired by Microsoft and all of the good people immediately left and formed a company called android

FMguru posted:but the people who stayed behind were driven by superstar executive roz ho to build such amazing hardware as the microsoft kin 1 and microsoft kin 2 you forget that before that they also managed to wipe out the sidekick cloud without having a backup, losing lots of user data. Microsoft then made the sidekick people switch from FreeBSD and Java to windows CE for the kin, which is what made everyone leave.

in a way i admire their devotion to the kitchener-waterloo area but it's impossible not to laugh at this bullshit quote:Through Quantum Valley Investments Mike Lazaridis and Doug Fregin, founders of the “Smart Phone” industry, have been focusing on the commercialization of breakthrough technologies in Quantum Information Science. By doing so they are continuing to further their shared vision toward the development of the “Quantum Valley” in the Waterloo Region of Canada.
