has anyone noticed that blackberry still prominently features bb7 devices on their website?

They want to drop BB7 but 95% of their user base would evaporate.

So they finally see that BB10 failed and yeah, when you fire over half of your workforce, that tends to cut down on expenses.


Hey, remember when we were loosing market share and struggled to come up with something different? Let's go back and do the thing that almost put us out of business to begin with.


Those Crackberry guys will buy dog poo poo in a box if we tell them to.


Dad phones forever.

It's OK, I'm sure they'll discover a bunch of unexpected tax refunds to keep them going.

There will be a lot more "tax refunds" given by the Canadian government to keep BBRY afloat.

LOL if you don't think the Canadian government will give them money or mysterious tax refunds to keep them afloat.

lol BlackBerry figured out that the fewer phones they sell the less money they lose

They should just stop selling phones and party with their cash until it runs out.

i don't think they even bother shipping phones these days unless they're ordered, retailers probably refuse to stock them

Pretty much this. Every comment on the articles about the poor sales are "well how can they sell them when no carriers in town carry them? I had to order mine from BB".

many words

highlights: the storm was so bad verizon asked for $500 million in cash to make up for how lovely it was, lazardis honestly believed the clicky screen idea was good, blamed his product team for it sucking and spent 2008-2010 trying to make a good storm while balsille couldn't decide what to do and their company got eaten alive by apple and anroid

the storm was their most exciting product. you never knew what feature would randomly activate.

aw poo poo remember when Pepsi gave away all those iTunes songs? poo poo was cash and you could tilt the bottle a certain way and see if it had the free song or not

I did that with lemon ice Gatorade and got free gatorades it owned.
