Exactly what 95% of the people in this thread knew would happen. The remaining 5% were blinded by, well God knows what blinded them.
This was easy to see. Blackberry is a beautiful example that should be used in future business courses about what happens when a company rests on its laurels. It failed to innovate and in tech more than any other field that is absolute suicide. iPhone came along and redefined the market, then Android. Meanwhile Blackberry is still cranking out postage stamp screen phones. As I mentioned earlier in the thread my last Blackberry took 4.5 minutes to boot. I timed it. That is despicable.
If Apple isn't careful they won't be too far behind.
BlackBerry to Slash Its Workforce by Up to 40%
Beat me to it.
It was fun while it lasted.
At this point, BBM seems to be more attractive to a buyer without the existing employees than with.
Hee hee, any other clever comments while blackberry burns to ashes, or are you still in denial? No need to answer that; we know the answer.Dude, I think she meant "new math". not that traditional stuff taught in schools.
PS: she also doesn't know the difference between price and value.

Who would sign up a Blackberry device on a 2 year contract when they essentially have put the company up for sale to the highest bidder? The company may not even be around in 6 months time.
Then she deserves it.People, surprisingly. Friend of mine JUST bought a Q10 two weeks ago. She hates it, but her old Bold was three years old and needed to be replaced. This was when news of failed sell offs, no buyers, RIMM clearly being dead was well known.
She said that the telecom co. will stand behind the phone even if RIMM doesn't. Guess she's right, but no apps, dead tech...
Then she deserves it.
The sad part is it's not like this all changed overnight. Blackberry had the full screen storm five years ago. It just couldn't catch up and could no longer lead.

They were too slow to fix their OS. If they had ironed out all the bugs on BB OS 5 on the Storm, it actually could have been a good phone. The UI and phone build itself wasn't bad for the time, and even the clicky touchscreen (though a little gimmicky) wasn't bad.
I've had an iPhone 4, a bold 9900 and now a Z10. The clicky touch screen on the storm was barf in phone form.
