Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

They are all just crap; and now that they've made the OS way to discombobulated for all the old-boy lawyers in my firm, you can add 'too complicated to use easily'. In my firm, there has been a stampede over the last 2 years to ANYTHING but BB. Personally I prefer iOS, but this dinosaur, BB, has had its day, missed the boat, and lost all relevance in the world.

Time to face the inevitable, BlackBerry: fold up, sell off your patents, and go the way of Nortel, already!

So how do your really feel about Blackberry?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Note to self: If BlackBerry too challenging for lawyer, find another lawyer.

I think the OP was a plant from Samsung:razz:

this dinosaur, BB? you mean the Z10? wow my kids in 3rd grade were able to use it with out issue.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Is that a question or a statement?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

I do alsi think if it still in competitive scene on gadget in 5years.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

BlackBerry is here to stay. Largest MDM in the world. Most secure MDM in the world.

Even Samsung with their Knox had to seek BlackBerry guidance on security.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Your sheep, in your blind stupor over a dying breed, missed the point completely: of COURSE a grade 3 could use a Z10 better than an adult: if he/she could NOT, then they would have to be retarded. Totally brain dead. What I was referring to, eloquently, I might add, was that old-fart lawyers, who grew up with typewriters, and secretaries who ran to make coffer, those users, they are the ones being alienated. At least on the old devices, with the keyboard and less-flashy OS, techno-phobes could do EVERYTHING they want to do on a BB: check and respond to email. Period. Everything else, iPhone and Android do MUCH better; BB should do what THEY are good at: security. They got to greedy, too lazy and complacent, and look at them now - in their death-knells. Good Riddance.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Let me see if I can summarize.

BlackBerry is dead. They should make phones for old fart lawyers. They should focus on security. Those are three different opinions you've espoused, and BlackBerry is already doing two of them. Perhaps you've heard that the Bold 9900 is back in production, and the Classic is coming next month. Perhaps you've heard that BlackBerry signed an agreement with Samsung last week to provided end-to-end security on Knox enabled devices.

I'll believe you're not just flame baiting when you acknowledge that BlackBerry is indeed alive and well; that they are making devices for every customer, including traditional corporate types; and that they are the biggest MDM company on the planet. If you deny any of those, you're denying facts.

Also, "you're."
Also, "coffee."
Also, "death throes." You can't be in death knells.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Also, to answer your original question - not only do I believe that BlackBerry will be around in five years, but I believe that I will still be using a BlackBerry device, probably on BES19.

Seriously.

BlackBerry will outlive the inept lawyers, but sadly the trolls are always with us.

Well, aren't you just the most FABULOUS peach: thank you sooo much, Sweet-tits, for pointing out typos. In your sad attempt to beat the BB drum, YOU latch onto anything you can - alluding, as it is, that I do not know how to spell these words, or don't know basic grammar. It's called a TYPO, because I typed it quickly, stop and go, and my slender fingers tend to fall between the letter's crack occasionally (when not falling between my silky thighs, that is). Also, there IS spell check, you arsehole, so that just proves my point and makes you look like the fool you are.

The ONLY thing BB's will be doing in 5 years is getting kicked under an open door to be used as a wedge. They are crap, have almost always been crap, and now that REAL phones have emerged, (Apple, Android), the BB party is OVER. They are already dead, just don't know when to lie down.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Working in the mail room of the old fart lawyers really has you angry, eh?

Stay in school and don't do drugs....

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

fourstringfuror has sweet what?

oops I fed the troll

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

So what does a sheep sound like?

Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Wow, I sense... uh, lol

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

The best thing to do is Ignore Mr. Sloppythights. For some reason he decided to post stupid stuff on the forum and must be very lonely working in the mail room of the lawyers office.
The level of hate is amazing.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

LMAO !!!

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

LAMO !!! ??????????? not sure what your referring to.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

From the ease of use it, OS system than the Blackberry a lot of convenience, but in any case, the stability of the system is due to the BlackBerry OS

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

All I can conclude so far about BlackBerry is that it's not for people with slender fingers who have poor spelling and self-gratification issues.

I'm not bothered by that conclusion.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

SilkyThighsSteven seems very bitter and we need to give him a break. Anyone with the handle he has needs help a lot of help.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

LOL, imagine if SilkyThighsSteven got tangled in my knottyrope?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

My eyes just burned out with the thought!!!!!

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

hmm that makes people mad/angry that a lawyer is using the BB or someone has a typo on the BB..5 yrs ago there was no Samsung, Good, Apple and if someone really can forcast for next yrs then they sure can make big bucks.. look at the sweaty palms of APPL they are also scared that once BB used to be top top and now is almost gone .. but I still have enough BB in my closet and have no love lost for them.. love the device and oh its 'productivity' most people dont know what that is .. now did i tough the nerve?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Uhmmm, wut?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

I must recheck my closet, maybe I have a few in there too.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

hahah. this guy is funny!!!! all the way to BlackBerryForums to make fun of BlackBerry.

He needs to start picking his fights better.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Every once in a while we get to play with an OP who has issues with BB. Keeps things interesting!!

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Great stuff! I knew there was a reason I should check in here once in a while!

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Just the trolls and BlackBerry hardcore holdouts left now.

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Hmmmmm holdouts or lonely Blackberry users?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

I think Blackberry will always be around, with or without our opinions. Look, 'mXit' is still around, although not as popular as it was, but its still up and running after all these years. :)

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

mXit moved away from a University social app to more educational, health care and agricultural and community applications sharing app and with the executives leaving and multiple sales it's still there. the difference with Blackberry is the executives seem to have their heads up a dark place and make decisions too late.

What is Nortel?

Re: Does anyone REALLY think BB will be around in 5 years, seriously?
 

Nortel = a misguided management team. Sound familiar?

beyond their accounting issues they failed to see the future of the industry. They discounted the move to optical. too little too late.
