    Crackberry Nation,

    I was listening to z103.5 yesterday around 9pm and their not-so-funny DJ was talking about some app to download. He mentioned you can get it for your iPhone or Android or Blackberry (if anyone out there still uses one)). What a SOB! Its funny though because a few weeks ago they were promoting the Z10. I guess when you get paid to advertise a product you play nice but the minute you no longer need to do so the gloves come off.

    I'm never listening to them again. BTW, their on-air personalities suck.

    We're going to boycott everything and everyone that says something negative about the platform now? Might as well put yourself in isolation, somewhere secluded because everyone has been bashing the BlackBerry name for some time.

    Lol, my own child has spoke the words: "hardly anyone uses a BlackBerry anymore, it's all about iPhone and Android now". Majority of my friends have shared similar opinions. So I can't help but wonder if the OP would cut ties with friends and members of his own family over something as stupid as them insulting a brand of smartphone.

    You obviously must have liked the radio station before the coment was made. If not, than why would you have been listening to a station you don't like? Seems a little strange to stop liking them over something so insignificant in the big picture that is life, but oh well.

    Thank god I'm not a fanboy anymore.

    I think you need to take things a bit less seriously. If you're going to boycott any establishment or service because of an employee's opinion or snarky remark.... you're gonna find the world a really sad place to live.

    Better boycott the Internet while you're at it! Lol

    Look on the bright side, at least there was a BlackBerry version of whatever that app was.

    I'm in the US, but just removed them from my Nobex favorites list. Thank you RG3_10

    For anyone in the Chicago/Milwaukee area, you can do the same for 99 WMYX. Their DJ made the same exact comment about 3-weeks ago.

    AM Radio talk shows are stupid, full of blather. If you're silent for a nanosecond, 10,000 listeners will change the dial, so they need to fill every second with useless words and verbage.

    This Blackberry comment sounds like rambling.

    Just remember: talk is cheap because supply exceeds demand.

    I got on the air (103.5) a few weeks when the q10 was coming to market. They gave me a few minutes to talk about why I was excited for it.

    You should realize it is just one persons opinion and you won't agree with everyone.

    I boycotted Z103 a while back for having such a weak radio signal and such annoying hosts. Their signal is so weak everywhere.
    What a crummy excuse of a radio station.

    It's nothing to get riled up about. BlackBerry has lost significant market-share over the last couple of years and are in the process of rebuilding their image. What the DJ was expressing is just public sentiment right now. Blackberry needs to concentrate on rebuilding their brand, improving their platform and fixing any problems in a quick and efficient manner to redeem themselves in the eyes of the public. Once they have done that, the negative public perception that it has right now will change.
