    I just commented there. I did say elsewhere on CB, maybe the fire coming out of the thing is a bad marketing idea. (Again the marketing BB!).

    Regardless it's obvious that the editor is sloppy or a hater or both.

    I cannot understand why didn't they use a proper combustible, like petrol or Note 7.

    What jerks. So sick of these BlackBerry haters. BlackBerry gets almost as bad press coverage as Republicans in America.

    That is a bit ridiculous. You know article skimmers will just see a BlackBerry that caught on fire. At least use the Note.

    Maybe their relationship with with a major manufacturer like Samsung is more important. Meanwhile they seem to have removed the BlackBerry graphic.

    CNET allready change there picture because they know pointed out a device that is not even out could not burn allready .. They should point out the iphone 6 that has more burners that the note 7 at the moment only Sasmung was so smart to pull off the device.

    It might have been appropriate if they started talking about Alicia keys and what not to do when advertising

    (not that I had an issue with Alicia keys or her "ambassador" role)
