Speaking add a returns and repairs advisor for a large telecom network. This makes me happy. I despise blackberry. Performance that's usually 1 year+ behind the rest of the market but with premium prices. Also bb os with legacy code that it's over 10 years old addend heavily based on java seems to contribute to an unstable, ever freezing environment.

I feel like they are the phones I book in most for faults.

      They should listen to what the people wants.. As far as i know and im a consumer also, they should make their phones faster and user friendly in terms of activating the services.. Its a battle of how fast your phone is and its more of the features not the actual usage..

              Seriously serves them right with all the bad products we had from them. Not a single blackberry device I had ( 17 ) didn't hang and needed resets and gave me hell while using. Even the Porsche design was faulty as HELL. Battery life is the worst ever among phones. I think they have a jewel called blackberry that has the best potential in the phone market due to the amazing operating system, but this jewel is still in the rough and the os has room for improvement bigger than earth. Fix hanging problems and device freezes, add reset bottom ( removing battery is way NOT COOL) improve battery life. and make a model for the thick fingered people ..... You will never lose. We love you RIM but you have to show us love back.

                  This is no rude shock:When they decided to become complacent, the competition left RIM choking on their exhaust.When the competition priced their gadgets reasonably, except HTC,they didn't.For the price of an ordinary BB I can get myself a Galaxy S II and change .And RIM still expects miracles?

                    Unfortunately they are doomed. I hope RIM can sort it out very soon.

                          Blackburry :(
                          I hope they can get out of this, but I don't see any way out in which they continue to be an OEM without someone acquiring them or some of their assets.
