With respect to taking photos, it�s funny how people who have never used BB10 say the camera is bad and yet whenever I send a photo to any of my friends, they all ask "what phone did you use to take that picture?"

The discerning reader will note that this is not necessarily a positive question.

agreed. certainly a company that rebranded from "Research In Motion" to "BlackBerry" is all about being super serious and their names are super serious

the truth is simple: they got tired of all the rimjob jokes

read it (or at least read the second half), found it frustrating with its lack of analysis as to why rim kept making wrong moves. too busy getting in all the stuff the laserdilz and sillyballs told him (which was valuable and im glad he got those guys on the record for posterity) to really try and form an explanation as to why rim fell apart the way it did

a couple things i noticed

- holy shitballs was the storm a disaster, and entirely because laserdilz insisted that no one likes typing on plain flat glass

in my work at an e-waste recycler, I've seen dozens upon dozens of Storms, and every single one had a broken screen click mechanism

Last month the company released its most innovative product in years: the BlackBerry Priv. This new phone solves nearly every issue that contributed to the firm�s epic collapse, namely a lack of apps, a clunky user interface, and outdated hardware. BlackBerry may have found its version of the iPhone in one product.

now introducing the blackberry priv. solving all blackberries' previous issues by replacing them with an outdated user interface, clunky hardware, and a lack of apps

Talked to a guy using a Passport for work. He was dual-wielding it with his iPhone, because he "could edit Office documents on it and you can't beat having a keyboard for emails"

To be real here: if having a hardware keyboard was so incredibly desirable and productivity-enhancing, why hasn't there been an Android phone as of late with it as a starring feature, to clean up on the "serious business" market?

There has, and it's called the Blackberry Priv.

Unlike the Typo keyboard, which communicated with the iPhone over Bluetooth and extended the length of the device to unwieldy proportions, Samsung's keyboard case snaps on top of the phone's display, effectively blocking half of the screen. The phone recognizes the keyboard and adjusts its user interface accordingly, shrinking everything to the top half of the screen. Keypresses are sensed by the screen underneath, eliminating the need for any batteries or Bluetooth pairing hassles in the keyboard itself. You can pop the keyboard on and off pretty easily, and if you want the full glory of an unobstructed display, you can snap it to the backside of the phone for storage.

I met a traveller from an Canadian land,
Who said—“Two vast and useless buildings
Stand in Waterloo. . . . Near them, on the green,
Half sunk a shattered smartphone lies, whose screen,
And hardware keyboard, and sneer of cold hubris,
Tell that its CEO well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the bezel, these words appear:
My name is Blackberry, King of Phones;
Look on my Security, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of those colossal Wrecks, boundless and bare
The lone and level wastelands stretch far away.”
