- Anyone participating in the online discussion forum by a third party company? For those of you don't think Blackberry is not listening to you from what I can see they certainly are. Anyway, trying to provide them with as much feedback as I can and glad to be part of this. Waterloo is certainly listening to its early adopters.

I agree BlackBerry listens to CrackBerry. Heck Heins called our founder right after he got the CEO job! And we interview BB people all the time. We just recently had Alec Saunders on a podcast.....
CrackBerry's BlackBerry Developer Podcast - the 1/3 told story | CrackBerry.com04-23-13 11:05 AMLike 2 - Sadly CrackBerry has become a propaganda machine for BlackBerry instead of a champion of the BlackBerry user.
Posted via CB10 from the BlackBerry Z1004-23-13 11:23 AMLike 10 - How so? As far as I can tell, it is a mutually beneficial relationship.NightSlayer and LostOnThePianoRoll like this.04-23-13 11:32 AMLike 2
- Very beneficial. At least Mr Heins knew who to call right after he took the reigns. Crackberry can serve as a member of the "House" of dedicated crack users within the board at BlackBerry. Or just throw Kevin in the mix there.
Posted via CB1004-23-13 11:43 AMLike 0 - Z10 users post legitimate issues with their device only to instantly be bombarded with relentless replies of mines fine, no issue here and so on. Constructive assistance would be of greater help then to constantly tell us that we are bb bashers, return our phones if we do the like it and yada yada. I've been a blackberry user for the last 6 years, I'm a lifer so this nonsense really needs to stop. Not every user has the tech savvy to complete all the work arounds to get their device working properly. A little patience and respect goes a long way.
By the way this was posted via my BB playbook using BlackBerry bridge via my BB Z10.04-23-13 11:55 AMLike 7 - We saw how BlackBerry went after the folks who claimed a high return rate on the Z10. Even though BlackBerry was right in doing so, it may give pause to some about posting anything negative during this vital launch period.
He11, even BGR hasn't chomped down on the Z10 issues yet.
Someone is walking around, in the background carrying a big stick.
It's not only BlackBerry looking out after sales numbers either.
Ride the wave and worry about the crack in the surfboard later.

It's not the community that is to be blamed but rather what's happened to it ranging from legitimate trolls to media coverage on BlackBerry that was blatantly unfair and propagated even in these forums by said trolls.
Posted via CB1004-23-13 02:51 PMLike 4 - Completely agreed. CrackBerry has everything to gain from BB10's success with their accessory sales, hence the extremely biased reviews and news stories.anon(5828343) likes this.04-23-13 02:59 PMLike 1
- Well from what I can tell you of the discussion forum that I participated in, the company had their ears opened listening to the good and bad about the device from its early adopters not only wanting to hear about the perception its users have of its newest a device but the perception its users have of the company. There was a wide range of end users involved voicing their concerns, obviously shared by all was the lack of key apps for the device (Skype Instagram, and that twitter and Facebook need some work), but nevertheless everyone brought something to the table and I'm just thankful that Blackberry is listening and no longer has the attitude that their right. Btw...they paid us for our time (an incentive)m I feel this incentive made the people involved be even more involved, answering truthfully, and throwing as much feedback at them as possible.

That's the thing about when Kevin interviews Thorsten Heins or Alec Saunders.. it's cool because no one would think that people that high up would take time to talk to a blog (as big as CrackBerry may seem, it's still a blog/ fan site).
If I were a BlackBerry employee though, I'd be on CrackBerry listening for sure. This is the place that people come to talk about the product nonstop, at all hours of the day. People don't talk about BlackBerry on BlackBerry's site as much as they do on CrackBerry. But would I comment and announce that I'm an employee and I'm listening? Definitely not..04-23-13 04:58 PMLike 0 - Z10 users post legitimate issues with their device only to instantly be bombarded with relentless replies of mines fine, no issue here and so on.

Posted via CB1004-23-13 05:06 PMLike 0 - i think that would create some sort of conflict,,, cb claims no association & if BB had dedicated reps here, & something went south, they in turn could get caught up in some liability,,, then there's NDA agreements that probably keep them from being public,,, my guess is there are a few on all of the dedicated phone sites sniffin' around...SK122387 likes this.04-23-13 09:24 PMLike 1
