This is sad. BlackBerry should immediately cut off the prices of their flagship phones to get a market share.

Moving to OS 10 should came early, it was so obvious that BIS isn't going to life beside android & iphone os, even symbian phone offer web browsing & e-mail service for free, no doubt they ignored the consumers demands, still until now a full BIS package is over 25$, really BB.
And to make things worse all the phones (OS 10)that were released or announced targets the high range, at this point OS 10 should be available for low & mid range as Nokia did with l520, this gives the consumer a chance to try WP8 and increase it's share in mobile market.
My sorry goes for the Employees that lost their jobs for terrible mistakes by upper management.

BB once is the popular smartphones with its BBM features.. Five years ago in my country, every people have BB to communicate each other using BBM.. I also addicted using BBM to communicate with peoples.. Now after Android and IOS become more popular, peoples gradually leaves BB and change to Android or IOS smartphones including me.. Why? Because Android and IOS gives more attractive features while BB is stuck with its hour glass lagging on OS6-7 back then.. It's so sad to see that BB is dying now.. Feel sorry for BB.. Your BBM was a great messenger apps that helping peoples in my country to communicate each other.. Farewell

Mr. R Sole, 19 Sep 2013Excellent news! Only news better than this thisyear is the ... moreWhy do you care if BlackBerry stays or goes? If you don't like BlackBerry don't buy it. Personally I sure hope they manage to pull through so that there will remain an OS for people like me who wants something different to Android, iOS or Windows.

they may lay-off 100% of their staff soon, no-one is buying anything sold by rim/blackberry, as usual they are 3 years behind what the world is doing,their out of date kit is very expensive, not very good, and has a crud os that needs loads mkre work on it.
they have been greedy pigs for years, rested on their laurels and thought bbm would always save them, time to wake up boys, just in time to die.
you deserve it, the ugliest phones ever, and some of the most pricey.
bye bye blackberry, you where rubbish.

Thats what you get by avoiding innovations. one big example is their FRONT FACING CAMERA. They only decided putting it this 2012 haahha.
