    It's like a one man stand over at The Verge and I am way too chicken to step in fearing the wrath of the masses but I read The Verge article and was applaed that the called what T-Mobile was up to as 'fairly innocent T-Mobile promotion' when Chen took them to task.
    Of course those cronies over at Th Verge always finds the crappiest images to reference BB devices.

    Big up to Blaize everyday and all day. You went in on the Verge bro. The bias towards BlackBerry by the Verge, BGR etc is so embarrassing I really dunno how they do it. But then again.. Let's raise a toast for the d0uch3 bags.

    Ugh, that was painful reading the comments of the uninformed, ganging up in there. Props to Bla1ze for dodging and weaving his way through that minefield.

    I dropped back in and it's like this winter over there, that **** got ugly real quick with a tail wind... It;s like walkers over there. But they did update the photo, even thou they (The Verge) suggested Q10s are all refurbished from BB site.
    Oh well, I'm just going to close my blinds and go play with stuff and my Z10.

    In the verge post of the T moble CEO statement, it says they sell the Q10 and Z10. But the ***** that wrote the article stated they don't sell them. Does he read his own BS?

    Yeah those comments are harsh. Screw those people. If BlackBerry isn't relevant then why do these people bother commenting on the verge while feeding everyone BS about BlackBerry not being relevant. It makes no sense. What makes them experts? They read somewhere that someone heard that BlackBerry might lose a gazillion dollars this quarter? Yeah, that makes them phone experts. Long live BlackBerry.

    Bla1ze has lots of patience. I would find it hard to remain so even-handed in my comments after reading that.

    It is a sad statement on the quality of internet information when execrable writing of the sort seen in the Verge article can attract a readership.

    From the link in the first post what does Bla1ze have to do with the article I don't see him being referenced nor a comment posted on the Verge site have I missed it?

    Never mind I can see them now, man the bias and wished I hasn't witnessed the comments.

    Sadly, they trashed a few of my comments.. especially with one dude trying to get a real rile out of me...but whatever, a lot of them are still there and I'm pleased they at least updated the article. I don't think it's so unreasonable to ask for the image to be updated, I mean their initial image wasn't even a T-Mobile device on a T-Mobile article. Anyway, everyone knows if you want BB news you don't go to The Verge. Great longform content though lol. As for Dan, don't be so hard on him.. He's a great guy and sometimes he does try to say nice things about BlackBerry but it often gets drowned out by others. On a bit of a personal sidenote, thanks for noticing and saying so folks. I appreciate that.

    Good job Bla1ze, if BlackBerry was so irrelevent you would not see so many articles about them.

    Being a tech site should they be neutral and not so biased?

    People at The Verge are a bunch of Apple enthusiast. Pay the journalist and a the Apple fanboy's no mind.
