"Venice" Slider could be the one for Android users!
I would like to share a personal observation I noticed today.
Our very own CB chief posted an article over at Android Central today about the upcoming BlackBerry slider.
The article was well written for the likes of the AC fan base. Not too BlackBerry preachy and very informative of the possibilities of what an Android slider could off.
A trend I have noticed over the last couple of years over at AC is the hatred for anything BlackBerry. Every time an article would be posted about BBM releasing, updating, a new BlackBerry device running Android apps, a rumor of Samsung buying BlackBerry, really any article containing the word BlackBerry, it would get scorned! Absolute hatred would spew out in the comments. Disbelief in the company, insults for BlackBerry even trying, etc etc.
However, that all seemed to change today with the article from Bla1ze. If you were to scroll through the comments on the article you will notice a different tune. Users from AC reminiscing about the days of when they owned a BlackBerry. A few folks talking about how much they enjoyed their Torch! Numerous people saying how this could be the device to bring them back to a physical keyboard and BlackBerry. For once it was a joy reading an article and not feeling all the hatred of BlackBerry!
Now, I am still undecided about how this slider will turn out. Really until we play with it and have hard facts, no one knows. But honestly if it were to release with all the leaks and rumors that it has right now, I think even that would be enough to convince people. So we can only hope that the true details about the device will be even better.
Take a look at the article below...who knows, maybe AC will be the new home for many CB users!
