This is what you call flamebait, guys. Tweeting at him increases his profile, and clicking the link to the story pays his bills. Keep calm and carry on.

And it proves what most people are thinking about "CrackBerryHeads" - nutters.

[kevinnugent]

What is everyone's problem with BlackBerry???!! Maybe a name change is in order!!

lol. They tried that a few months ago.

[kevinnugent]

Tweet him with your comments

@BradChacos

Please do. Let's make him really really popular with his editors and get him more and more exposure so he can write more and more disparaging articles about Blackberry and the nutcases that follow them. This is going to end well.

[Kriilin Namek]

I agree with Simon, this loser feeds on attention. If you need to feel better, think of it this way: If the Z30, and BB10 in general weren't a threat to iAndows, they would just ignore BB. Remember as well, BB doesn't have to be as big as the others to survive, they just need to be profitable.

[909F2]

If a blogger is paid to write what he wrote about BlackBerry.... why bother? We have BlackBerry in our hand...its not our job to increase BB10 sales, it's up to the CEO, let him do his stuffs. *chill*

When my son grow up to an adult age of 18, I ll advise him to write something bad about BlackBerry, just to bump up his blog profile.... easy. Just ignore this guy....

Why is it when anyone speaks poorly about BlackBerry they're just haters and baiting? Everything he's said in this article is true. Everything BlackBerry did in terms of trying to promote and advertise BB10 was below average and lackluster at absolute best. So what, they put a large screen in a shell that looks like a GS4, Q10 and Z10 had an orgy and an deformed baby came out.

The Z30 is absolutely too little too late. It's like the last hurrah a sick human has before they finally die. Sure, the BB fans will be enamored by it. (You shouldn't, the 200 mhz clock speed difference isn't a game changer whatsoever - you won't even notice). I love new gadgets, I have the money to buy one off contract, but I sincerely doubt I will be buying it. BlackBerry is a corpse... it sucks to say, but it's really starting to settle in that it's true.

I'm not going to read it, but "stench of death"? Really? I don't care if it's a negative article or whatever, but that just sounds juvenile.

Posted via CB10

It's not exactly high-minded wit, so I'm not a big fan, but it is not really guilty of anything other than being colorful and a snarky. People here only get in a tizzy because of their love of BB. Let's be truly honest, if the writer had done something in a similar style in a negative manner about the iphone 5, those SAME people here would be prancing in delight and declaring him the greatest writer of our time.

The fact is, his points are correct - and have all been discussed here, and his last paragraph is quite correct, and I believe fair in it's evaluation:

"If the BlackBerry Z30 is anything like the BlackBerry Z10, it'll be a well-designed piece of hardware with a fairly fresh (though app-deprived) smartphone operating system. But it still won't be enough to bring new BlackBerry users into the fold, and it definitely won't be enough to resuscitate this dying company."

[richardat]

Thanks for posting most of the article in the thread. I hate when people only post the link to the article in the thread. Why give these losers the clicks?

Posted via CB10

That's actually the proper forum policy, though some mods seem to think that it only applies to 'positive" posts, so.....the correct etiquette is unknown.....and possibly entirely reliant on a some subjective line of goodness/badness

EDIT: LOL! Posted this before seeing BergerKing's post! I think you were indeed the mod I was thinking of.....other mods have requested us NOT to post full articles. I think the policy is: if the King will like it, post a link, if the King disapproves, post the article here, and off with your head!!! ;-)

[richardat]

Please stop feeding this troll. I've never even heard of this author or site so why should I care about his opinion especially if it offers little to no insight with zero quality. Even if there is a negative post if it is done with quality and with facts then that is one thing but moron "want to be journalists" should be ignored.

That's what caught my eye, too. And from the look's of the poster's picture, I'd dare say PC World, which first started publishing in 1983, had been in existence twice as long as he has.

On another note, I find this thread very sad for some reason. Frankly, I don't see that anything that the author of piece presented is untrue. It certainly wasn't presented diplomatically, so I can understand the resentment among the faithful. But to see this kind of over the top, unhinged reaction to someone who in the end simply called a spade a spade is rather pathetic.

I really hate all this negativity surrounding BlackBerry right now. Give them a chance to prove themselves,and am sure they will!BlackBerry ruled when apple wasn't even conceived, nothing against apple but hold your horses people! Let's see how and where the chips fall.You ppl can brag after ,if and when BlackBerry goes down.

For the record:
Apple 1976
BlackBerry:1984

They are both pioneers but you shouldn't underestimate Apple's history.

[filmansantiago]

Wow!!!

I can understand people have an opinion but when I look at Google News feeds and see this hack piece on the Z30

I find it very disturbing.

Better yet maybe Tweet @BradChacos and let him know what we think about his views on innovation.

Blackberry maybe isn't perfect at marketing but adding a few plastic colour covers to an iPhone isn't either.

I would love to see him feel the tweet from loyal Crackberry lovers.

I just tweeted this m***** f***** @BradChacos mate. thanks for this info. let's counter this kind of stupid publications!

[wincyUt]

Tweeting him something positive about Z30 might also be effective too. Yes it will increase his profile but it would be also a WIN for Z30 awareness.
I just tweeted him something positive about BB and that I can't wait to have a Z30. Fight negative with positive.

This is what you call flamebait, guys. Tweeting at him increases his profile, and clicking the link to the story pays his bills. Keep calm and carry on.

Good comment but if we open the Time Capsule:

Apple: Let's push this back to 1972. Quick now, name the first mktble micro-computer and the largest recall in computer history???

Blackberry: 1984 is a pretty good year. We ask, was your first BB experience before the new millennium?

The negativity started perhaps three years ago, built to a crescendo in mid-June this year and simply was confirmed as the truth shortly thereafter. The financial statements of BB show no chance of survival, relative to this industry, save from a bailout from preferably another Tech Company (or PI with other Tech interests) that can otherwise also use their product/skills. BB has long since been in the process of clearning house to make a purchase more viable.

There are no more chances until new mgmt. and money guarantees are infused. The article is on point and as confirmed--albeit in a lighter tone--in the WSJ and Forbes and Bloomberg on several occasions. Smart phone unit sales and financials are reasonably easy to predict, at least on the level that BB now exists. BUT ... Hey, Jobs once swallowed his pride and sought Gates to play a major role in saving Apple (talk about sleeping with the enemy) ... so stranger things have happened than for someone to breathe new life into our moribund early pioneer of cell tech. Let's keep our fingers crossed ... that there will be some reasonable support for our Z/Q10s through 2015...a tall dream indeed.

AND H'MM,

No I've never heard of PC World. Where is it based? I've heard of PC MAG and Laptop Mag

New Rule: If you've never read, or don't know the significance of, PC World or Byte Magazine, you're not allowed to participate. Just kidding.

They also said too little too late when the z10 came out, blah blah blah..... it ain't over till its over.

I feel so sorry for Brad and his acrimony...withal are swedish pee.nes-enlargement-pumps (as you have seen by Austin Powers) are already available and in combination with sildenafil (you find in Pfizer�s Viagra) Brad should find a new girlfriend...or boy... or shaved sheep...
