Regrets, regrets and regrets...BlackBerry could have been telling a different today instead of pitching, failing and still trying to find someone to buy their dieing company.

Justin Beiber offered to become the company's Ambassador when he was still an upcoming musician, just after he had released his "Baby" track which afterwards became a mega hit song that sent shock waves across the continent, BlackBerry laughed him off as . Years later RIM(as they were called at that time) is regretting why they never gave the now pop super star a chance.

"One thing we missed out on was that Justin Bieber wanted to rep BlackBerry. He said, “Give me $200,000 and 20 devices, and I’m your brand ambassador,” basically. And we pitched that to marketing: Here’s a Canadian kid, he grew up here, all the teeny-boppers will love that. They basically threw us out of the room. They said, “This kid is a fad. He’s not going to last.” I said at the meeting: “This kid might outlive RIM.” Everyone laughed." - Anonymous BlackBerry executive.

Shocking Justin Beiber could have rescued BlackBerry
After the Blackberry executive who presented Beiber was rejected alongside his present, BlackBerry went on to sign Alicia Keys as Creative Director that year. Fast-forward to now, Blackberry recently announced almost $1 billion in loss for the second quarter of 2013 while Beiber is still rocking crowds at concerts around the world.

Justin Beiber may not have saved BlackBerry totally from the mess the Canadian phonemaker is in right now, but the teen could have been the reason more teens would prefer a BlackBerry phone today.

RIP to RIM

Greet Madiba for me

He could still not have prevented the inevitable. BlackBerry failed because of their inability to keep up with other phone and software producers. Having a famous ambassador would never make me buy a useless product. If them like make them bring back 2pac make him come b their ambassador who nor good nor good. In these days of hot android and apple phones blackberry has gat no chance in hell

wat a joke.... MTN signed Saka as an Ambassador from Etisalat. to celebrate d mobile number portability (MNP). But 2 months after the MNP was launched, stats showed MTN was d biggest loser!!!!
Even if a company signs all the biggest stars, if it's not offering the right services, it won't have a lot of customers, that's how things are...

Lols one of those funny things we hear on tech!

even if u call drake,taylor swift ,selena gomez and rihanna! It cnt save blackberry!. Their time has come to clear way for others!!
