BlackBerry slider a response to the typo keyboard for iphone?
-
- It would be, if the Torch never existed.
But it did, so it's probably a remake of that instead of some scheme to take down Ryan Seacrest.
Posted via CB1005-23-15 05:05 AMLike 5 - The keyboard hasn't even seen that big of an adoption rate in relation to how many iPhone users are there.
I think the slider is a way of saving costs on advertising.
Instead of making 2 devices make.

You know it's gonna be hella expensive if it's a slider mechanism with a 2K double curved edge screen and a touch keyboard!
That would be like a 1000$ on launch...

So ANY BlackBerry with a keyboard (including a slider) is not the "response" to the Typo keyboard....it's the reason Typo came up with it to begin with.
Otherwise your logic suggests the Classic and the Passport were also responses to the Typo, as well as any other keyboard BlackBerry in the future.05-23-15 07:11 AMLike 3 -
Enough said
Z1005-23-15 07:21 AMLike 0 - The typo is irrelevant. The slider is an answer to maximizing screen size and providing a good typing experience.

- I would buy a slider if one came on the market just because I like the physical keyboard along with a larger screen say same size as a Z30. My Z10 works fine for me screen size, looked at the classic but smaller screen to view movies on. I only view movies when flying on some of the smaller planes that don't have entertainment systems . But those flights can last up to 4 hours.
Posted via CB1005-23-15 11:32 AMLike 0 - The irony of a thread suggesting BlackBerry answering Apple re: a physical keyboard is delicious. It's like...rain on your wedding day.
But at least now I know what Ryan Seacrest is doing since his show got cancelled about 10 years after jumping the shark.
Posted via CB1005-23-15 01:22 PMLike 0 - The phone looks verry thin . Can wait to find more news. Hope to have hardware touch keyboard and touch screen keyboard .just for fun.05-23-15 02:06 PMLike 0
- Wouldn't it be hilarious if the Typo gets affected by double-typing?

Typo 2 will not be able to make much impact on Slider as it is a sort of external hard drive and has poor visual appeal as compared to the Torch or even the slider as and when it is launched. One thing is sure various market research done by competition still acknowledge that PKB of BBRY still has the appeal and market potential.
Posted via BlackBerry Passport05-23-15 04:02 PMLike 0 - I agree with you it is one of the way to get people back to BlackBerry!! Typo 2 with its current features again i feel will not be able to escape the patents violation. Last time typo ended up paying about USD 900000.

How is that strategy working for them now?

The Basics: people may not be buying X (BlackBerry) for a handful of reasons, but in my opinion it's basically because of (misguided) opinions that BlackBerry:
- Has no apps (which is partially true)
- is the old BlackBerry's that don't run anything like the "revolutionary" iPhones, etc (which is completely untrue, but marketing rules the world)
- Is not making phones anymore, or is about to go out of business, be aquired by Burger King, etc. etc (also untrue).
These are all part of Z.
None of these reasons directly indicate that people who choose not to buy BlackBerry:
A: reject PKBs (Y) altogether
B: don't ever get frustrated with touch keyboards
C: used to have a BlackBerry or still do (like Ryan Seacrest, Typo, et al) and still miss the keyboard functionality
C: wouldn't at least try a PKB or even go back to one if they could be past the 3 things I listed above that are more likely the reason for their rejection of BB.
The false conclusion is that because people simply aren't buying BlackBerry very much, then...........gosh.......geez.........it must be because people collectively got together and.......as a group......rejected keyboards, and that's pretty much the only reason why BlackBerry doesn't sell........even though BlackBerry makes non-keyboard phones that sell just as poorly (or worse) than their Keyboard phones.3_M4N likes this.05-24-15 08:02 AMLike 1 - The false conclusion is that because people simply aren't buying BlackBerry very much, then...........gosh.......geez.........it must be because people collectively got together and.......as a group......rejected keyboards, and that's pretty much the only reason why BlackBerry doesn't sell........even though BlackBerry makes non-keyboard phones that sell just as poorly (or worse) than their Keyboard phones.
Posted via Z3005-24-15 09:33 AMLike 0 - DenverRalphyRetired Network ModIf there were a huge demand for PKB phones, then someone else would be making them, or someone would have bought BlackBerry for the patents and started churning out PKB devices with tied to a platform with an ecosystem. The thing is that market isn't there enough to justify the purchase.05-24-15 09:48 AMLike 0
- I didn't draw any conclusions. That's the whole point.
I give up. Which one?
Based on what? Based on the fact that people aren't buying BlackBerry's as much? Please review the logic tree again.
Where? You haven't presented any evidence other than the Z in the X-Y-Z scenario I pointed out above.
Uh, what? I guess I answered my own question; you do change subjects much.05-24-15 10:21 AMLike 0 - Other manufacturers wouldn't have to actually buy BBRY to get the patents. They could simply license the patents from BBRY. With the exception of Motorola who is exempt from BB's keyboard patent. Motorola made an attempt or two at PKB Android devices, and they simply didn't sell well at all (and one of them was actually a decent phone). And IIRC, Samsung took a couple stabs at PKB phones, but those didn't have noteworthy sales compared to their touch devices either. Neither company has tried again in over 3 or 4 years (maybe longer, it's been long enough that I don't recall specific years/dates).RyanGermann likes this.05-24-15 10:29 AMLike 1
- OK. All these other manufacturers are leaving money on the table. Actual data, even though there is irrelevant, because you made some hypothetical equation/scenario that you think invalidates said data.
