CNBC host this morning talking about "rude Crackberry people"

**robtanz** · 12-24-2012, 08:03 AM

I just saw a moment ago an exchange about the new Blackberries and Joe Kernan said(a little tongue in cheek I think) that he was switching to the iPhone because of those "rude Crackberry people on twitter".

We really must have given it to him!

Let them enjoy their iphone. It's a really cool phone.

Are we not supposed to be the group with higher standards? Let him get an iPhone. We will have Z10s soon, and we will all show them off to our friends. Our friends will either love it because of it's complexity and how much it makes iPhone look like a toy or hate it because they either love their iPhone too much or they will be jealous.

Right? I find it funny that people keep talking trash. If BB10 delivers, none of this stuff will matter. When something is better than the competition, it will naturally become the leader. Its all on RIM now

There is no such thing as Higher Standards in most, if any, groups the lowest common denominator will always be the loudest. And on Twitter that is amplified.

With that said switching your phone cause of rude people is ridiculous.

It would be nice if the world worked that way, but it doesn't.
The better product doesn't always win the market.

well I don't see anything on his twitter account so not sure what he's talking about. On the other hand I always see iPhone haters on twitter spamming #bb10. I wonder if he sees that?

**southlander** · 12-24-2012, 10:46 AM

Reminds me. I saw Robert Scoble on TWIT last week talking about how when he sees someone using a BlackBerry he asks "why in the heck are you still using that phone"? Talk about presumptuous. Like it is his business. I'd call that rude and there's plenty of it to go around on all sides.

I like this forum a lot and there are some incredibly helpful posters here. But there are also some of the rudest, most overly sensitive users out of any forum I have used (and I do use forums centered on other products). They are not the majority by any means, but I have never been on a forum with so many users who worry so much about what other people are doing. The guys comments are silly, but to say the behaviour doesn't exist isn't accurate.

**Houshinto** · 12-24-2012, 11:30 AM

Rude Crackberry people eh?
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that he's probably someone who has had no problem slagging RIM these last few years. Hypocrite.

Sure, there's no reason to be rude. But some people should really look in the mirror sometimes, myself included, and think about what they're accusing people of.

**BThunderW** · 12-24-2012, 12:04 PM

LOL. I guess you never frequented the Mercedes forums. What a bunch of stuck-up snobs.
