My Rant on BlackBerry's Perception
Perception is becoming more and more negative (only good news come from CrackBerry) and BlackBerry does nothing to save themselves. They do nothing to show people they are not the BlackBerry from 2007. BlackBerry has the superior products but they don't want to show it plus they're struggling to get big name apps onto BlackBerry. Samsung and Apple are currently advertising their product and gaining more market share each day from BlackBerry users (those with legacy devices). All the marketing BlackBerry has is "word of mouth". They want users to spread the word about their new products and unlike Samsung and Apple users, BlackBerry users aren't getting paid and are always loyal even with all the ups and downs BlackBerry go through. I have the BlackBerry Z10 and it is by far the best product because of BB10 OS. BlackBerry doesn't need gimmicks to be the best ( http://m.youtube.com/index?&desktop_uri=/) because they have the best OS but people want gimmicks (hopefully they turn up with the 10.2 update or on the BlackBerry Z30). BlackBerry has actually put work into the new OS and it shows with all the updates. But instead of putting out commercials on TV they put them on YouTube. The commercials they do put on TV are poor (even though I know the message behind them) and I know there's a niche market for physical keypad phone but most people see that as being non innovative and outdated tech (I don't so). YouTube sure has the best commercials I've ever seen from BlackBerry:

BlackBerry is a failure because they refuse to take risk. I want people to know about the new BB10. I want people to know BB10 is not the old BBOS of 2007. Even with products in retail shops nobody wants to touch them and retailers aren't unlocking them because of BlackBerry's bad reputation from RIM. BlackBerry needs better perception and they need it fast. I'm really starting to get frustrated because of all the ignorant bashing people do against BlackBerry.

*This is only my opinion. I'm always a loyal BlackBerry fan. I just don't want to see BlackBerry failing. It sucks to sit through all the negative press, poor planning and declining stocks of BlackBerry. :(*
