    Of course, because ONLY BlackBerry users are immune to marketing and possess the ability to think for themselves.
    This to me always translates as "BlackBerry does a **** poor job at marketing which is seriously hurting them but rather than acknowledge that I'll just pull some tired, worn out bromide from my *** as a way of diminishing the competition which is eating BlackBerry's lunch on this front."

    In my opinion, Apple without a doubt. As a result of their marketing people who own iPhones sometimes feel superior to those of us who don't. Not all, but some. Apple's vision and marketing is spot on.

    I admire their marketing as well. Not that I want BlackBerry to do the same type of marketing, I'd just like to see more marketing. Bring the sexy back BlackBerry.

    Samsung is doing a wonderful job paying for a smear campaign. And apple has brainwashed the old and the dumb.

    If marketing causes that, BB must be good at it because there's plenty of that sentiment here.

    I come from iOS and i definitely like the OS stability (never crashedd!!! i am talking about my ipad that is almost three years old and been jailbroken a lot of time).
    The iPad mini battery life is amazing too.
    The way they understood that the real fuel was the apps not the hardware (they will always be behind in Android's run for the bigger=faster chipset, because they are good at optimising their devices.
    As i am sure Apple was inspired by BlackBerry's elegant and seriousness touch i think Blackberry should take inspiration from Cupertino's folks.
    And then again, their marketing mojo not so much the 'revolution thing' and brainwashing Apple Church's ads than how they know how to make customers feel the simplicity of their devices: my old mother took 30 seconds to use an ipad after watching an ad, with the Q10 she couldn't get where to start!

    Their trolls. They always have someone here who talks doom and gloom. They have all been devoted Blackberry users for the last 8 eight years, but somehow they never have more than a handful of posts. Its also impressive how they band together to thank and like each other no matter how ridiculous their posts are. Its an impressive display I see here exclusively on CrackBerry.
