Blackberry just die already

big_sean:

Blackberry is a dying technology and company, if they do not re-invent themselves, they will fade faster than nokia.

horlabiyi:

They already launched this phone since October last year.

KINGwax:

and Who said nokia is fading?

msb247:

Hmmm see them criticizing BB as if they won't rush to get one if they had the money! I use 2 blackberries for what I can get out of them not because people are buying it. iPhones are too expensive and nokia sucks! I use one for my general calls (Pearl 3G) & the other (Bold 4) for only e-mail, chatting, etc and I must confess I'm a satisfied customer of RIM. I'm definitely going for the 9790 as a replacement for 9780 just the way i got 9780 in place of 9700

Samsung is doing to Blackberry what Blackberry did to Nokia - Killing it

azpekuliar:
The iPhone is expensive. Agreed. But no other phone has the best blend of hardware, software and plain reliability. None. Its operating system, the ios, has 60% of the market share, meaning app developers are wont to develop and release apps on the ios before making their offerings available on other platforms like Android. I used to have the same mindset, but soon as I saved up and snapped one up (a used 16GB iPhone 4) men, there's been no looking back. Goodthing b4, na money kill am.
