what happened to the real blackberry thread? anyway this is from bgr soquote:Good news, BlackBerry fans: your favorite phone maker is reportedly developing an absolute beast of a smartphone that features killer specs that crush anything else on the market right now. The bad news, however, is that the phone apparently won’t be competing with any smartphones on the market right now. Instead, if BlackBerry does decide to launch this screaming high-end handset, it apparently won’t debut until sometime in the summer of 2015. future phone is amazing compared to currently released phones.

Shaggar posted: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 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.

Just-In-Timeberlake posted:nobody is doing this. it would be like a presidential candidate putting out an attack ad against Abraham Lincoln. they can't say the press, analysts, and everyone you know is badmouthing blackberry because they've seen what a good phone is, so they have to invent a boogeyman. if you asked apple or samsung to name their top five competitors I don't think blackberry would make the list.

ford has a lot of employees but most of them are blue collar factory workers that don't get company phones. it's not like a huge bank or medical supplier where almost everyone needs email to get their job done. but lol at any enterprise that isn't already well into the migration away from blackberry.

Skulduggery posted:no but really even if you work there you'd have to be pretty dense to think you're not on a sinking ship consider that blackberry must be handing out stock like candy to employees, and while it's still absolutely in the toilet, it has made some big relative jumps lately which might be worth a lot of money to them.

Cold on a Cob posted:stop posting reviews of my dillz pls quote:Over the last month, numerous strangers have approached me to ask about my dillz. They are always men. The women I’ve shown my dillz to — including female colleagues, my wife and her friends — seem vaguely horrified by the thing. Even with two hands, my dillz feels like something that fell off the bottom of an old fridge. I assure them that they’d get used to it in a few days, if they give it a chance. But the starkly boxy aesthetics scare them off.

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.

ahmeni posted:it's really surprising you have to manually reset the blackberry these days, you'd think their qnx stuff would be able to reboot itself mid flight like those cars that would accelerate infinitely I'm sure the kernel is fine. figuring out that user space has wedged itself into a condition it will never recover from is very difficult to do, so the kernel doesn't know the system needs a reboot.

I'm fairly certain that blackberry only exists now as a way to transfer value from the shareholders to the creditors (who chose the CEO). they are only pretending to be working on products to avoid lawsuits. hey blackula, do an investigative report on this

qirex posted:I know that but it's at $10 now which just seems so overpriced agreed, but it is also more volatile. a rumored buyout could shoot it up on any given day and combined with a short squeeze it could spike it up temporarily for serious pain for you. this is a better idea: Munkeymon posted:don't short - trade options but when they go private or taken over by Canada you'll lose your bet. and like I said before, I think the lenders are stripping blackberry for its assets. they will spin off a division holding patents, real estate, and whatever other things of value they have and give it to the lenders and then declare bankruptcy. I wouldn't put my money anywhere near that company.
