I’m going to pick mine up on EE
BlackBerry Suck… Think the new phones look crapper than ever… They are really desperate –
Apple , Samsung, Nokia , HTC & Sony are better…
BlackBerry are just awful.. BBM is just plain dreadful. Don’t like their new phones – I had 3 BlackBerrys and hated the phones… Couldn’t get rid fast enough.. They was beyond awful…
iPhone5, iPhone4s & SamSung rock!!!
Blackberry had the check to say apple was out of date.
IOS is out of date and i think you mean “cheek” not “check”. This is why iOS 7 is copying BlackBerry and Android… BlackBerry will release 6 modern devices this year and will likely get a licensing deal with their BB10 OS to capture the entry level smartphone market. What did Apple do other than keep older 4S on market?
When for years Blackberry had bin selling the same old thing over & over again… And using dated Technology.
Bout the only things you could do is send out status on Facebook, Tweet or use BBM (which wasn’t that good) – when apple, Samsung & other phones where light years ahead of BlackBerry coz you could use FaceTime & Skype… While the only thing you could do with CrapBerry is text & that was it… And they have the cheek to call apple.
I owned 3 BlackBerrys couldn’t sell them fast enough.. I still remember falling for the hype of BlackBerry 7 – which was beyond awful.. It’s not going to be long till they wear BlackBerry10 out.. They are already starting to do that now.. People will get bored & fed up with blackberry… May be not right now but very soon – they are already making a mistake bye making more models of the the z10…
Ok fair play the z10 looks impressive
Your living in the past and nobody really cares what you think, love BB10…
You’re living in the past BlackBerry is cool and relevant now and will lead into the internet of things (m2m) and recapture the business world with BES10!
