    I'm sure he will at least kick the tires of a Passport when the time comes, and if he prefers it, having had tried an iPhone 6 will just give him a more balanced perspective (and credibility). If I could afford it (i.e. not married), I would love to try every device too.
    What?? I thought the Passport and the iPhone 6 target completely different users? I read it here on Crackberry every day.

    Chris doesn't work for 'CrackBerry', he works for Mobile Nations and brings several different aspects and analysis for all of the sites. If you don't like his thoughts or opinions fine, but at least understand his position. I write for all the sites as well...does that make me any less passionate about the platform I CHOOSE to use? Not at all.
    Huge difference. Bla1ze is a subject matter expert ( Blackberry). Chris's level of analysis is very superficial although he purports to be an expert on investing in the mobile phones sector.

    Again, spelling...

    "....But when we start to use words like cannabilization we're discussing the business of Apple....."

    Cannabilization?

    No thanks, not for me.
    No "back pain" yet... ;-)

    Since when did what device or devices Chris Umiastowki uses matter? He is just another fish in the pond just like everybody else. He decisions will not make or break BlackBerry. Also he is entitled to use whatever device he likes.

    You can download a file manager for iOS. Not everyone likes BlackBerry 10, for a lot of people, iOS will be far better than BlackBerry 10. At end of the day, it's all preference.

    There's one called File Manager (Not even taking the ****...). Another called iFiles, just do a search through the App Store, there will be plenty of them

    First you get them on the BBM. Then you peak their curiosity. Then they ditch the iDrone.

    It would not get out of hand if we just allow people to use the devices of their choice.
    that's frustrating on both ends. Most BlackBerry users think they're more elite than iPhone or Android users (And some of us are), but they just like a platform better. And then in the same breath, iPhone and Android people look down on us because we have blackberry devices, all the while not knowing much, if anything about BB10.

    just use the damn phone if you like it. if your phone is your status symbol, you're doing something wrong in your life.

    For some reason I thought that he was allowed to choose whatever products he likes and what he thinks suits his needs, but I guess we must all be forever relegated to only using one certain product/service (in this case BB).

    But seriously, at what point do we get over the unnecessarily trivial battle between what I like and what you think I should like. I see no reason why someone must only like one point of view on any argument.

    What a waste of a thread. They are just phones and not the key to all the answers of the universe. Why would anyone care about what phone anyone uses? Why would anyone care what anyone thinks about the phone, or phones, that they use? I know that I don't and I don't think that I'm the only one.
