http://www.therecord.com/news-story/4456119-chen-doing-good-job-at-blackberry-watsa-says/ Well no poo poo he's happy. Watsa is going to profit the most when BB is sold. quote:Financier Prem Watsa says some of the biggest names in technology, like Facebook and Twitter, are headed towards disaster because their stock prices have soared too high. Oh right...stock price. Can someone please quote me a stock from for RIM From 2006? EDIT: The article says that all time high price was around $150. Facebook right now is only $62 quote:"There's nothing underlying the value of these companies," he said, referencing a chart that outlined names like Netflix and LinkedIn. I'll give you LinkedIn but Netflix? Oh wait...no netFlix app on BB. quote:In a letter to shareholders in March, he criticized Facebook's decision to purchase mobile phone chat program WhatsApp for $19 billion US, calling it "the poster child for the excesses that prevail in the tech world."  Did they forget that Chen said he would sell BBM for that much? http://www.theverge.com/2014/2/25/5445822/blackberry-ceo-john-chen-speaks-about-bbm-sale-and-focus-on-enterprisequote:"John, in five months, has done so many changes. We're very impressed," he said. "He's hit the road running." huh. You mean firing half your staff, selling all your property and closing down offices saves you money? Go figure.

http://www.cbc.ca/news/business/blackberry-may-exit-handset-business-john-chen-says-1.2605287 BlackBerry Ltd would consider exiting its handset business if it remains unprofitable, its chief executive officer said on Wednesday, as the technology company looks to expand its corporate reach with investments, acquisitions and partnerships. quote:Chen said his long-term plans for BlackBerry included competing in the burgeoning business of connecting all manner of devices, from kitchen appliances to automotive consoles to smartphones. I wonder what it will be like to do a battery pull on my fridge. quote:"We are not going to go up against Whatsapp. We are going to be more focused on secure communications, secure messaging," he said of BlackBerry's BBM platform. So much like the iPhone, they are ignoring a popular consumer brand and focusing on BBM which no one wants. quote:"We are not going to spend any more money to maintain the latest version of Angry Birds," Chen said, referring to a wildly popular consumer mobile videogame. Tools not toys!

i saw a z10 in public once and it just looks like a cheap movie prop knockoff of the htc one, esp cause the bezels are way bigger than the htc so it looks like a smartphone from 2009 wait oh my god it looks like the droid x, a smartphone from 2009

say what you want about the droid x but that loving thing must have been indestructable cause i remember seeing a lot of people with them that were in terrible, terrible shape. my boss had one that straight up was bent in a 20 degree angle and even tho the screen was cracked everything still worked

aquaintance of mine still uses the z10 she got in 2013 unsurprisingly the purchase corresponds to the moment her career went from "precariously improving" to "declining sharply" due to a series of terrible decision on her part she's at "i don't want to be seen with you" now so idk who she's using her blackberry to communicate with

quote:Wooden pager rotating machine a few things to note: 1) bbry still developing a proprietary radio protocol stack in tyool 2014 2) they clearly had some pretty clever people working for them at some point 3) this guy pulled his 'chute at the right time 4) their first product was so lovely that it lost reception when you tilted it the wrong way, and using the keyboard unseated the sim. blackberry has always been poo poo.
