Windows Phone 8 is the 3rd Largest Ecosystem after Android and iPhone OS

blackberry is already bankrupt. They wrote off over 1.5billion worth of BB10 devices recently.

Nice commentary. A blackberry is still the best and most efficient business phone. It meets all business needs for a smartphone and the new BB10 is efficient and easy to use. It has its niche and its not the same as the Niche for Android. BlackBerry's utilizes data efficiently and maintenance costs are affordable.


As I said earlier, it all depends on what you want from a phone.

Windows Phone, Android and iOS are the ONLY good for business Operating Systems/Devices.

on ur desktop, mobile and smartdevices the numbers attest to that.

y`all just creating threads, find a way to get past airtel`s limitation first, tongue, between, my blackberry seems to be giving me enough right now, check through all threads on BB10, and see if you`ld not fall in love

even though the op is right on some of his points, I think he's taken this too far. I'm an Android user who has used and/or operated all mobile phone os and I quite agree that BB is worse than even Java os, but opening a thread in order to bash another user's choice is just too far.

Re: 7 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Buy A Blackberry (2012) by sats: 6:24pm On Dec 01, 2013
@op let's b objective abt dis, shall we?
1. Just becos one top politician said bb sucks, dat means bb sucks, I can as well say because tinubu said lumia 2320 sucks hence it sucks, cmon
2. Limited apps? well, Limited enough to serve me needs
3. Customization? Well, am ok wit wat it offers, nothing fancy and unnecessary
4. User interface not good? If its not good enuf for u doesn't mean its not good for anybody, bros chill
5. Bbm vs fb chat? Ow hilarious is dat? If u kno wat instant gratification means, u will kno y no msg app matches d bbm, u android and ios couldn't even wait for it to b oficially launched ... Won ko je rush rush b indomie
6. Browser not good, doesn't support flash? Bros, don't say dat besides BLACKBERRY Z30 pls, show som respect, Z30 came out 2 mths b4 ur post, u dey fall my hand o,are u sure u r a geek?
7. Design not good? U kiddin me, I saw sth impressiv on d BlackBerry Curve 9320 - d speaker is not obstructed - whether its on its bak or facin up
Ow abt d classic poor battery of BlackBerry? Well av u used d Curve 9320 with 1450mAh battery? It lasts all day just so u kno
D main selling point for me is DATA!
All u android and iOS users always rushin bb dataplan for ur devices, ow lame is dat? Airtel will block it in a few days? Let's see ow u manage, oh let me gues - rush to glo bis, dey say it works for android
I do agree that android and iOS is beta than BlackBerry, but pls don't come here and put in our faces like our bb devices can't hold its fort
