can't believe it's been 2 years since we started guessing the date Blackberry (NASDAQ: BBRY 9.88-0.08 (-0.80%)) would shut down for good. we had a lot of laughs discussing the failures of the bad phone company in 2012, and again in 2013, but somehow they've stuck around despite our derisive remarks each year. looking forward to seeing what mistakes the company makes this year and the good jokes we come up with!

Ford Motor Co. is converting its staff from BlackBerry smartphones to iPhones, serving another blow to the Canadian company as its new chief executive officer John Chen tries to reinvent its brand.

Ford will replace BlackBerry smartphones with iPhones for 3,300 employees by the end of this year, the U.S. auto giant said. Eventually, the goal is to switch the entire workforce to the iPhone.

[…]

“At this time, it (the iPhone) is the best solution for the company,” said Sara Tatchio, a Ford spokeswoman.

Ford, which has more than 200,000 employees around the globe, also posted a job advertisement for a technology analyst whose “primary focus” through early-2015 is global deployment of corporate iPhones.

Ford follows a number of corporations, including Home Depot, Cisco and Dell, which have switched away from Blackberry over the past few years.

[…]

“Knock on wood. I feel pretty good about where we are in terms of the turnaround,” said Mr. Chen in an interview with Reuters.

It's already the same width as an S5, but look at the weight.

If BBRY had matched the height, thereby increasing screen ratio to something sensible, like 4:3 (albeit the wrong loving way), it would probably be a good 2.5 ounces heavier.

the blackberry classic is heavier than the iPhone 6+ and the sarnsung galaxy s 5 note 4 edge
