1) The committee for strategic options (or alternatives) was a major "WTF is going on there?" moment.

2) Superbowl commercial. No comment needed here.

3) App neutrality speech. I thought that Chen must have had a stroke to says those things.

When they briefly considered buying out Apple and Microsoft!

1. The clear obvious one to me is letting Chen talk in public at product launches.
2. Not announcing products in Waterloo.
3. Every quarterly earnings over the past few years...

[Doggerz]

I'd love to know the story behind this. That's amazing.

I wish BlackBerry had kept on loving us.

"Coming soon" attached to every single product or initiative (although that has improved over the past year)

Great thread OP... I'm chuckling at nearly every post.

BB must have a special talent for picking CEO's who can shoot themselves in the foot ... Again, and again, and again.

I'll confess I'd forgotten all about the song from Saunders. Awesomely cheesy and my jaw dropped again when I viewed it just now.

WTF were they thinking? LOL

[edwinsberry]

Boy, if I had a $1mill every time i said WTF when it pertained to BBRY. I'll be the richest man in the world.

I know right? Or even a dollar. What time is it. I haven't had that moment yet today. Yesterday was Leap.

[Jimberry Storm]

Yes, yes, remember that huge ad campaign when BB10 launched?.........Yeah me neither. Love the Tag line at bottom of your post, shame its needed right.

You can say a lot about him, just not that he wasn't commited...lol

[Jimberry Storm]

Good point, I hadn't thought of that I guess cause I'm optomistic

[Jimberry Storm]

BBM money?? They had some exclusive deal with visa or some mobile payments transactions consortium in 2012-13 and........(crickets) mentioned again last fall and....(owl hoot)

Yes and my biggest WTF! introduce NFC in Canada, like what 3 years ago and still not roll it out everywhere. Every time I hear/ see Apple Pay I want to rip my hair out.

Here's one... BlackBerry acquires a $25 million corporate jet in the midst of massive layoffs (also 2013).

• Not having at least a small team working on a next-gen OS back in 2005, when the rumors started that Apple, who had more than 5 years of constantly-growing success with the iPod, was working on a smartphone.
• Not making a next-gen OS their top corporate priority immediately following the release of the iPhone in August 2007, when there was still time to "go their own way."
• In 2010, after they'd clearly squandered 3 years, buying QNX to base their new smartphone OS (which would still take years to develop, ensuring no app ecosystem) instead of adopting Android in 2010 and having a functional app & services ecosystem.

Add Blackberry's naive assumption that everyone has a twitter account, as if twitter doesn't track you. Why should I have to create an account just for them?

[donnation]

This is more Crackberry, but hey why not? More funny than anything else.

[Dunt Dunt Dunt]

Just about the whole launch event for BB10.

Alicia Keys
Thor and his inability to form thoughts.
Some hippie getting a hair cut.
Delayed release for US.

[Stewartj1]

Why they don't advertise and why the tiny bit they do is so poorly done.

THIS^^^. And any and everything that had something to do with the Playbook. That was a disaster in itself.
