15 yr old niece wants to trade in her Z10 for iPhone because it has cooler cases.

Or go a completely different route, get inventive.
Buy some blank cases and glue gun and let her make whatever the heck she wants

Well now that is just silly bawahahaha I want a cool case too...

You're making assumptions about Linux again, we Linux users don't always resort to a VM for applications. Stoppit!!

As for games, I have a Steam account and an nVidia video card with linux drivers.
Who needs more?

I say send her to bed without any supper! :-) she should thank heavens she got a smart phone in the first place beggars can't be choosers !

The problem with BlackBerry is that they actually think like the OP that if they could just get this 14 year old girl they would be safed. It would be huge and they would be safed, but they fail to see that the whole brand have been dameaged in all segments. If their only problem was this 14 year old girl they would still be safed due to other segmants choocing team BB for productivity. They fail to see that they have been damaged and any average guy/gal of any segment have zero faith in BB

It was actually BlackBerry's in the work force that made them popular at home in the first place. Anyone who has kids knows that they're obsessed with trying out and playing with their tech devices. BBM exploded without a large amount of advertising. All because teenagers discovered it on their parents phones.
I think BlackBerry may gain this type of traction again if Mr. Chen's phase one plan succeeds.

Actually I disagree because I thought the situation the OP was bringing up was an interesting point. I had a colleague at my previous job (late 20s) who commented that she was tempted to get an iPhone just because of the incredible selection of cases (materials, shapes, fave characters) compared to her Windows Phone. And this is from an adult so I can imagine it can be quite a driver for a teenager. I don't think it is a major deterrent per se but every little bit helps (and hurts).
