BlackBerry isn't dead, they just need to find a new manufacturer partner to produce their phones. The most likely reason why TCL ended the partnership was because BlackBerry wanted to have too much input on how the devices were designed, which is a good thing for us because it means they care about the phones that are sold in their name and will find a better partner next time. I have a spare KEY2 still boxed and sealed for when my current one eventually wears out, so I should be good for a few years while they get it sorted!

I’m back in that same hospital in May 2012, my daughter is having surgery. I noticed, not a single staff member is using a BlackBerry; everyone is on iPhone. I did see one BlackBerry; it was a vendor, a guy who either sold or repaired medical equipment. I distinctly recall that being the only BlackBerry whereas the last time I was in that hospital BlackBerry was the standard, now it was iPhone.

At the launch of the iPhone, no IT department was poised for BYOD, in fact, they didn’t see it coming. The iPhone drove the executives to the IT departments to just “make it work.” I was working at T-Mobile at the time and BlackBerry was one of our best business sellers. It began an absolute destruction of the BB ecosystem, as IT departments raced to figure out alternatives to BB server.

I HATED ATT and missed the high quality seamless Verizon service that worked deep in basement lecture halls but the iPhone made it worth it. I remember the extra iPhone fee too. With Apple devices everything worked so easily that sometimes I felt stupid for trying to do things the Windows way like downloading drivers or typing with a delay.

Having worked 20 years in the industry through the introduction, adoption, death of BB especially in Enterprise, a comp,ex answer made simple is this. BB - let’s lock down everything, BES software, minimise data consumption, more biz, less fun etc. It’s strength was control, it became its weakness. iPhone - Enabled more multimedia, fun, allowed users to do what they wanted when they wanted more, easier to use, apps, less restriction and polar opposite approach. THEN they caught up on Enterprise and Mobile Device Management tools etc.
@avgonyma14 жыл бұрын
This is the most accurate analysis I ever heard! I am a BlackBerry fan, but not uncritical. And not primarily because of the keyboard, but because of many engineer minded features. To this day the BB10 OS is superior to anything currently existing on the market, except that it's dead. Despite packing many features into the BB10, it was basically unfinished, it did have some heavy bugs, which caused me a headache and ultimately pissed me off. (That was when it was all going downwards and they didn"t bother to keep up). But besides them not keeping up with smartphone trends, I also noticed in 2010 that not only did they shoot themselves in the knee, but to me it felt like someone had started some rumors that they are dead long before they actually were and people were just repeating the mantra without being informed. A seller at AT&T in 2010 was just advising me to buy either iPhone or Android (which at that time only had a 5% market share and also not many more apps than BB did). He did not try to sell the BlackBerry Storm which they were also selling. Argument: apps. I currently use a BB KeyOne, but needed a year to get used to the imperfections of Android and I still hate the system to some degree, because it is inferior (because it's not a coordinated OS but a platform where anyone can drop whatever they want on). Even Apple is better (and similar to BB, in that it's a centralized system). But I hate that one for lack of freedom and too much simplicity. But I am not the average user. I basically want all features (business and fun),but prioritize ease of use (shortcuts, gestures, many many less steps needed to execute anything), intuitivity (in BB10 any setting was in all locations immaginable, while in Android I need to Google it to find it.), reliability (texts, phone volume etc), multi-tasking (hard on Android), .However, most people prefer all the non-serious/fun stuff (videos, social etc) and not the business one. And that is what everyone else was focusing on.

I entered this market just at the end of the iTunes phone at Verizon. I almost went that rough until I (with the help of a friend) held the first iPhone in one hand and a blackberry in the other. It was over, my decision was made in about 60 seconds. iPhone and I’ve never looked back. Android (Google) has done a great job coping the iPhone, and now make some of the best phones you can buy, but none of them that could or would make me leave my Apple ecosystem. I now own i, everything from my iMac/Apple TV/macbook/ iPad /iPhone / Apple Watch/ and just about every Apple subscription you can subscribe to, and it all works like a charm.

phillip perkins sometimes a walled garden that provides cohesion is better than an expanse of possibilities that don’t. Data continuity, deep third party app integration across all devices with familiar, simple UI is why Apple is where it is. The market speaks for itself. To what really matters to people. Stating that Apple owns us is silly as that can be said for any manufacturer of any product you consistently buy. I’ve used everything. Windows, VMs, multiple Linux distros, Kali, Android OS variants, smart watches of all kinds different media servers etc etc and nothing comes close to the Apple ecosystem in providing a holistic, connected UX and UI so you can just focus on getting stuff done. Family sharing is also great. Single purchases that multiple ID’s linked to yours can use / enjoy If you need windows a Mac can run it. If you need more power remote access into a computer from iPhone or iPad. Futzing around with multiple IDs for Windows and google different app stores, apps on different dev cycles if they even exist at all. Tired of all that crap. Life is getting to busy. Until you have really given it a chance to add value to your life. You will not understand. Would I have liked just to have a surface pro, surface phone, surface watch and Xbox sure. But windows is behind. Google can’t get their OS out yet, chrome is a joke, dex is very neat but can’t compete with full desktop OS, plus needing a monitor and dock always. Great for only certain use cases and static locations. Other companies do certainly have some gems but altogether the secret sauce is not there.

Funny thing - I had an iPhone 4 in 2010 (first smartphone) and at first was blown away by it. After a while I got bored with it and in 2012 got a BlackBerry Bold 9900. I loved its complexity but it was embarrassingly slow. So when BlackBerry 10 arrived with the Z10 I eagerly bought each one as it came out. I loved the smooth interface and gestures. I had people asking me “is that an iPhone?” and proudly said “no, it’s a BlackBerry!” But time marches on and it was getting obvious that the big apps were never coming and BlackBerry had slowed down development. New features stopped coming and BB10 was just getting security and performance updates. I loved the Passport. It was the best phone I’d ever used. But when BlackBerry went to Android I looked around. I saw iOS 9 and 10 and wanted in. So back to iPhone I went and I’m still here. And while I miss BB10 I see enough of it in iOS that I don’t regret my decision. Looking forward to the next iPhone.

the first smartphone (so they say - Steve Jobs) was BlackBerry Curve 9300, 6 months later the worldwide BB messenger servers failure happened, and on the second day of the second fail, I was testing the new iPad 3, after using it for a few hours, I wiped and restored the BB to factory settings, put it to sell. Later that year got the iPhone 4s white. It was nice to have a BB until you tried apple, just as Steve Jobs said when on the days around the iPhone announcement "the software is at least 5 years ahead of the competition" - It really showed. Probably it was two things that closed that gap. 1. the passing of Steve Jobs, undoubtedly Apple didn't died, just entere into a stupor, that they went out around 2 years ago, completely understandable. 2. android and the other brands had this time to catch up the work they haven't done yet, due to the rush to put something "look alike" to the iPhone external and internal appearance in the market. Probably the BlockBuster and BlackBerry cases are too alike. Never even give themselves the chance to think about change and new ways to do things. They only allowed themselves to think that people will always want and do the same thing in the same way.

At the start of ecosystem race between apple, google, microsoft and blackberry i thought bb10 will be a solid third option over windows. but it seems that both users and devs consider 2 is enough 😅

People bought black berries literally because of bmm being free messaging on a data plan... they were better phones out including the iPhone but people weren’t going to leave bbm for them... it’s really what’s app that gave people the flexibility to cross message for free so no one felt obligated to buy black berries anymore... that was my understanding of how they died

The market has been like this for over a decade Doubt Apple Bash Apple Meme their products Then love their products Then copy everything they do. And start over...

Bardhok so true. Most of time, toxic android fanboys are always being dickheads, saying shit whatsoever but still most of android companies are copying iphones’ design and so on.

The only blackberry I ever had was the black berry curve 8520 I was in the 8th grade. Man I loved that thing. Couldn’t get on the internet with it but I felt very professional. Everybody else had the iPhone 4-5. And then I got a galaxy s2 and I was like “blackberry who 👀” then I got the iPhone 5c and from that point on, Ive been an iPhone user. I remember when the key one came out though and I really wanted it but I never got it. I was really hoping for a KEY3 but I guess not. I would’ve loved to see blackberry survived. It’s like each year, the phone market place is growing narrower and narrower. Now it’s just Samsung and apple with google and other manufacturers trying to catch up to them

work gave me one of those touch screen blackberry things (well, i was running the BES, so...) and I had an iphone 3g personally. The BB was a pita to type on but did have copy/paste, so depending on what I needed depended on which I’d use. However, generally the iphone was just funner to use. Before that point, I had a palm treo 650 (there was a windows version too) and either it or the nokia’s were the best thing on the market iirc. Now, I use a pixel (2) as a primary phone, an iphone (8 plus) as a fun phone (social networking and media consumption happen there - no contacts or email hit that phone), and I recently gotd an ipad pro. I like the android as a primary phone, I won’t get another iphone if it has a lightning connector (due to lint messing it up, it appears they totally botched that engineering), and the ipad pro is replacing my laptop (i may get an iwatch as a smaller screen accessory to it when I retire the phone if apple is still building them with lightning connectors - unsure yet). ps - most devices, i’ve got a tech/feature wish list for. I haven’t really come up with that many things I don’t have in the ipad yet. more multitasking options is about all i can think of - being able to multitask w/ kb shortcuts, having an alternative to alt+tab for a visual cascade view, horizontal multi view, more pip options than the side window thing. but, that’s really it at this point - i mean, i’d like a springlock keyboard carrying case that doesn’t look like shit too, but idk how you can buckle a spring in 2mm or so, so that’s probably not happening.

Blackberry was a great product. They never were junk, the iPhone was just better. I wish Blackberry OS phones existed today.

I wonder will the price come down to get rid of old stock? Never tried one. Always had Nokia's. But always wanted to try one but they were too expensive

Blackberry should have built off bbm and shared it with everyone. They tried to keep it under lock and key and hoped people kept buying the blackberry because of it. That failed.
