my workplace is in the process of replacing all their old blackberries with the z10.

we are moving to this hotelling system that relies on people connecting to our network outside of the workplace. everyone will be required to do this by tethering their z10.

this is what happens with every secure system. the people who use it don't give a gently caress and just want their jobs to be easy. see also: healthcare

it's not just in the public service there's plenty of middle managers in the private sector in ottawa who carefully lay their blackberry next to their personal cell phone on the table when they sit down at a meeting

i have to say, the IT systems at my local hospital (independent) are pretty impressive to watch. the nurse communication systems and the wyse terminals and automatic walk up logins all seem to work well and nobody is bitching about tech. contrast that with the sutter health branch nearby where they all have a bunch of dust-filled dell boxes running windows with some hacked on login manager and everything is poo poo.

sutter is huge and they have a lot of non-integrated stuff at each of their locations. in all large hospital orgs like that they stuck most of their it staff on the never ending emr implementation and they haven't even considered what hardware/software each location has to connect to the emr. that's like phase 11 of 10. also sutters logo is so bad.

BlackBerry is opening its software to competitors like IBM and Citrix Systems Inc., giving corporate customers more choices in how to manage their fleet of BlackBerry 10 phones.

BlackBerry will give other mobile-device management companies direct access to smartphones that use the BlackBerry 10 operating system, the company announced Tuesday. Before this, companies were only able to use BlackBerry software to keep track of their employees' BlackBerry phones, install software on them and wipe them clean if they were lost.

BlackBerry launches low-cost phone for Indonesia

BlackBerry has launched a new low-cost phone "exclusively for Indonesia", one of the few markets where it is still a key player.

The BlackBerry Z3, Jakarta Edition will go on sale from 15 May for 2,199,000 Indonesia rupiah ($191; £113).

It the first phone to be launched under new chief executive John Chen.

Once a dominant player in the sector, BlackBerry has struggled in recent years amid increased competition from rivals such as Apple and Samsung.

However, it has continued to enjoy success in Indonesia, making the country a key market for the firm.

"From conception to delivery, the BlackBerry Z3, Jakarta Edition was designed specifically with our Indonesian customers in mind," Mr Chen said in a statement.

According to the firm, the phone - which was first announced in February - also comes customised with local apps and content.

The latest phone is also the first one to be launched after the firm agreed a five-year deal with Foxconn, the Taiwan-based maker of electronic products and components.

In February, Blackberry reported a net loss of $5.9bn (£3.5bn) for its latest financial year.

However, it recorded a smaller-than-expected loss of $423m in the three months to 1 March, compared with a loss of $4.4bn in the previous quarter.

Mr Chen, who took charge of the struggling firm late last year, has said the firm was on "a path to returning to growth and profitability".

Ya the marines buys almost everything from skillcraft. Skillcraft must have a factory of blind women reassembling old blackberries to sell, and until they run out they cant take bids for any new contracts unless they meet some arbitrary standard and or are from the nephew of a general. Special gov price for extended support is all going to middlemen instead of blackberry too
