The comment BlackBerry is holding back / "censoring"
Hi friends,
a couple of days BlackBerry posted an article in their own Blog on "Inside BlackBerry".
They named it:
"Clearing the Air: Five Things Everyone Should Know About the New BlackBerry"
Here is the link to it: Clearing the Air: Five Things Everyone Should Know About the New BlackBerry
[But actually, it's also the article that was on the Crackberry's homepage the past few days ago.]
I read through it and the final words of it were:
"...Anyone who says otherwise simply hasn’t been paying attention."
At this point it got emotional for me and I had to "clear the air" for my frustration as OS10 user - and to those repeating (to me empty) words on OS10. I felt really provoked especially from that last words.
So I wrote following comment, to see what or even if BlackBerry would reply to it!
My intention never was to insult or something like that - and so I don't think this comment would be a reason to hold it back.
So, here is what I wrote:
"Everytime I read how commited BlackBerry is to OS10 I die a little!
Then I look at my beloved Z10, Classic, Leap and (currently using) Passport SE and realized how many 'great' updates I got since early 2015 - and how less usuable it got since back then.
With every update there were some things to give up (like Hub integration for Facebook).
OS10.3.3 was in the 'final stages' since February 2016 - considering to BlackBerry.
And still my carrier won't roll it out even it got official.
There is lots of other (also consumer)software with that certificate and those developers didn't dance around like that!
I truely expected OS10.3.4 at this time (as it was promised).
Now, I don't know if it ever will see the light of day!
If true commitment means that kind of support for most loyal users (who faithfully carried you through the transition) - I mean just look at the last developer summit where OS10 was cut out, Blend is EOL, those new BBM HTML5 action cut out for OS10, Android Runtime is that old that it gets to a point where it soon be useless for latest .apks, etc. - it's impossible to have faith in those words and in BlackBerry!
It hurts to write that down, because my BlackBerry has always been my reliable 'partner' for over a decade!
And actions would have shown more than those empty words!
(you even did more for OS7 back then as OS10 launched)
You should really question yourself why people think that OS10 is EOL and what have you done for OS10 the past 2 years.
Realize?"
What do you think to that?
What do you say BlackBerry just blocking this kind of comments/questions?
Is this a good way to deal with that?
It was a 1:1 reply to what they spread out.
I totally know that many of you might have different point of views and disagree with me - but to me that's totally fine!
But I still think even if BlackBerry says, that people like me "didn't pay attention" - it's not a reason to block a comment that no one can see it, even if they don't want to reply.
There must be a reason why people say why OS10 is "dead".
That does not give me more "trust" in what they write, say or claim to do.
