AnonD-133243, 19 Sep 2013Obviously it's time that BB go for sale now. Nice to hear that.
Even more hilarious if there was a buyer announced.
I still stick to Android as Android has so many choices to choose from eg Samsung - LG - Sony - HTC - Huawei.

I was an avid fan until the BB9900 and 9790 gave me tons of issues including sudden battery drain etc... and the worst camera ever on a flagship is the 9900 Bold.
I gave up on them.

After much downsizing the company will be left with the Chief Executive only. One man show.

Your products are highly priced. You don't offer anything different. People have now switched to whatsapp from BBM. You know what to do, but don't take that path. You'd prefer downsizing instead. If you continue in this way, soon you'll shut down.

Dear BlackBerry,
You produce a very good phones but it has a lot of restrictions that turn me off. And it's overpriced. I suggest that you lower the price and abolish some of the restrictions and maybe, we ex- BlackBerry users we'll come running back into your arms again.

The most idiotic decision for RIM to develop BB10.
When RIM turned into Blackberry they should have opted for Windows Phone OS. Since BB is enterprise targeted it would have worked out well. a terrible mistake...
Even now, Microsoft should buy Blackberry and Dell and merge as DellBerry to concentrate on Enterprise users.

Layoffs arent always a good thing. I really hope the people (real people with real lives like you and me who comments on here) get good compensation as well as a decent job soon. Its not easy out there and everything of the best for them.

BLACKBERRY what a name, what a brand. The first person to be thrown out should be the CEO. It seemed when phone industry was booming with new ideas BB was sleeping thinking that they are still unique with bbm. what a pity they had name they had fame they were a superbrand once, they just didnot capitalise. its still not too late, otherwise BLACKBERRY will only be remembered for sometime and will not exist and eventually will be forgotten.

Blackberry,
I salute your OS. Nowadays, you don't listen to customers anymore, that's the reason sales is going down. You only listen to your guy and that is a bad strategy. You have to change your old attitude. Your tiny keypad phone is nothing to be proud off. Typing emails in a tiny phones is not a thing to enjoy, Ive been there. Keypad phone is short of dedicated numerical buttons which a minus. Right now I have 6 android phablets. Imagine if you produce different size of touch screen smartphones, I will be buying 6 blackberry smartphones and I am one of the millions out there. Your phone size at this moment is just tiny, below 5 inches and they doesn't tempt me not even a tiny bit. Make something 5 inch or bigger, I don't mind buying your blackberry smartphones. One thing to keep in mind is that your phones must be superfast inorder compete. Your Z10 is good but still small just like iphone, I am not the kind of person who likes to zoom text in a phone. Remember I am just 1 in a million, there are also millions out there who thinks like me too and these millions are also your potential customer. I don't think any of your executive reads this forum, however is there happens to be, please think about the what I just commented. Good luck. I hate to see another OS going down because they can't keep up to customer demand.
