Worst BB ever? Maybe. The 5810 was pretty awful also.09-24-12 08:21 PMLike 0 - I remember when Crackberry was a BlackBerry enthusiast site. Now it's just a site where fringe groups from all platforms wage holy wars, and ex-BlackBerry users come back to harass people who haven't left. And unfortunately it seems like no one cares as long as the sites get hits.09-24-12 08:26 PMLike 2

- A couple of days late, I meant to reply sooner, but here is a couple articles I found on the matter.

And, I also don't think he meant it as negative, but it just came off that way. No harm. I've worked with guys and girls in construction so I've heard a lot worse on a daily basis.

More recently, I remember when a group of people left Crackberry because they hated the inclusion of other platforms in discussions such as this. They swore they just wanted to go to a place where they could discuss BB exclusively. I wonder why such individuals come to a site they profess to hate and which they refer to as a "cesspool of mediocrity." Yup, I was invited to that site and visited and ran away before I could become infected with the malaise there. One would wonder, having achieved their purpose elsewhere, why they come here to derail and to complain about what we do on this site.
I like to point out inaccuracies, hypocrisy, fanboism. Such as criticising iPhone buyers over buying a phone they haven't seen while declaring they will buy a BB10 device the second it is released, sight unseen. I like to point those things out necause I was once a fangirl, as much as liked to say otherwise. So before I criticise one iPhone buyer for buying an iPhone 5 without seeing one first, or laugh at them for standing in line, I need to pull back because it is bloody likely that I will be standing in line, if there were one, to buy the first white BB10 keyboard device I can get my hands on.
CB has evolved, and things that survive would, and embraces users from all platforms because the market has expanded from the days when bB held preeminence. And as long as we follow forum guidelines we are allowed to post. Personally, I prefer a site where different opinions are discussed, which acknowleges RIM's place along with the others, and where someone such as myself, who regularly uses three different platforms, can come and discuss not only BB but other platforms as well depending on the topic at hand. I guess other sites are not as interesting, since those who find it objectionable to discuss things other than BB continue to find their way here.09-25-12 03:30 AMLike 12 - I remember when I found Crackberry. I hated the iPhone and waged holy war against people who used them. Then I waged holy war against Android. I defended RIM's decisions and proclaimed that the market loses were blips. Then I had to remove the blinders off and realise that the market losses were not blips at all. I realised that waging holy war against a piece of plastic and glass was a ridiculous enterprise. And astoundingly, I found that those pieces of plastic actually were fun to use and performed their jobs admirably. I learned that BB had its place in my life and so did the others. And when I put them together in my bag, my bag doesn't explode.

Your post.
Eloquence in practice.
I do kind of picture your different device's having at one another when you put them together in your bag.
Very well put.
Thank you.
Things got a little crazy on a few threads last night and you post as hootyhoo just stated above should be pasted all over you made your point and made it well.
Without insulting or flaming.
Kudos2u :-DLast edited by esk369; 09-25-12 at 07:50 AM.

Totally agree. We've all been there at one time or another. It's amusing to see new members with the "Give me BlackBerry or Give Me Death" attitude. Unfortunately, we are not all independent, self-motivated techies that love technology- regardless of the brand. My 9810 serves me well. Same for my Samsung G lll. Same for my iPhone3G and lV are also great devices, too. So, I see a lot love for all devices on here stagnated by the constant BS posted just to keep the fires going and not necessarily for brand-loyalty. The devices are only as smart as the person utilizing it. Also, most members never really leave- forever. They usually lurk from the shadows....and discuss CB on their new site.

- Consumers do not want to buy an unlocked phone which is subsidized on one carrier of course it won't sell as much as an iphone or gs3. But Jellybean owns all

- In the Blackberry vs. Apple fight, the chips are already pre-stacked (i.e. rigged) for Apple.
Here's why:
RIM rolls out a new device - The focus is on what it CAN'T DO
Apple rolls out a new device - The focus is on what it CAN DO
RIM is late with an OS update or announcement - RIM is incompetent, losers, useless, company is dying, dead, and can't get their sh** together.
Apple is late with an OS update or announcement - Well, they're just trying to get it right before they release it, it's the right thing to do.10-04-12 10:12 AMLike 0
