Great News about BB10 Sales :)
- Sorry to report....
I'm with TD Bank and they have just rolled out their BYOD strategy and I'm sad to say, it's a move away Blackberry. Their MDM is based on Good Technologies however, the Corporate supplied devices remain Blackberries and introduces BB10 devices. That said, employees can also choose from a list of Android or IOS devices and receive a flat $40 per month, with the difference made up by the employee. I suppose they've though this through, but I can't see how they will be able to ensure employees don't fill up THEIR phone's with versions of Candy Crush and Twitter feeds, but I guess other companies currently manage this situation. Interestingly, BBerry Balance will be disabled on all Corporate supplied phones.
Sorry folks, but that's the situation here.

My fianc�e's father has just been appointed CEO of a huge, multinational coal mine and they said he was only allowed to take a 9790. Though he was saying that their IT guys don't really know what's going on and the junior ones earn like $5k a month...so maybe that's why they're not using BB10 yet.
They're a BB-only company - apparently it is because the devices are so insanely locked down and encrypted. So much so that it actually seems a little TOO CIA/NSA/KGB...03-13-14 08:08 AMLike 0 - My mom who works for the Canadian government (environment Canada to be specific) got an email saying that they're upgrading their existing legacy devices for BB10 ones.
According to Wikipedia (not a great source I know haha) they have around 7000 employees. This is great news for BlackBerry I think personally!
Do you guys think that this is a sign that the other parts of the government will be upgrading also?03-13-14 10:07 AMLike 0 - Sorry to report....

Was you mom and her team here on Shawson Drive in Mississauga this week at all? Some ministry people and the environment staff of the government of Canada shut down a mechanic shop here.03-13-14 11:58 AMLike 0 -

- Too bad the City of Vancouver haven't made a BB10 app for their golf courses.
New VanGolf app will maximize golf experience at Vancouver Park Board courses | City of Vancouver
I'll keep bugging them :-)

It would be great if BB10 could pull off 5,000,000 in sales this quarter. But it doesn't really mean much if 10,000,000 Legacy users traded in their devices during that period. BlackBerry needs growth! Not this slow conversion of only a percentage of their existing user base.

- Here is another great news, after seeing my year-old Z10 running faster and smoother, using BBM for a while on his iPhone and hearing beast of Z30, my friend just got Z30 yesterday from Rogers and switching from iPhone which is giving all kinds of problems.
I think the following reasons lead to the sales,
1. beast of Z30 particular the battery
2. Word of mouth
3. BBM
Cheers !

Posted via CB1003-14-14 10:13 AMLike 0 - Our company issued a memo that our BlackBerry phones would stop working January 2013.
The old dogs refused to give up their keyboards. The young dudes were happy to get iPhones.
Cut to 2014. Legacy BlackBerry still works, and because those old dogs held out, the iPhone only policy never came to be. We can now have any phone we want. Granted, I had a screaming match with an IT guy the other day trying to hook up a BB10 phone, so things aren't completely rosy. In the end, I found someone who knew the proper settings and my coworker left happy with his new Z10.
I don't know if we're any better off having a mash up of different phones, but it has to be better that employees can use what works best for them.
Anyway, I count it as a win for BlackBerry, still enough die hard fans that they couldn't get squeezed out, no matter how hard our IT department tried.

My office has no issues as I can get everybody up and running no problem, but there is no guarantee that every office has a BlackBerry enthusiast as their tech support.
They also don't have the instructions for Window phone - and sadly I have no experience with that platform so I may be up creek if anyone gets one of those.
I just feel like it should be no skin off their noses to post the instructions for all the platforms. By not posting them they are essentially reinforcing the idea that the only smartphones are apple and android.
Which then trickles down to me having to deal with ppl getting phones that aren't suited to them at all. Not that they all should buy BlackBerry, but if a 70 year old woman who constantly drops her phone, doesn't know what an app is, and just needs email and texting, gets a Samsung do you know what happens ? I deal with the cracked screen (I dropped my BlackBerry lots and it never broke! She cries) and the 'why do I have all these emails? - stop adding widgets to your screen - what's a widget? Why did you get this phone? The bell guy told me it was best for me! Yeah. Great. Go get an iPhone if you don't want a BlackBerry and put it in a Case. Sheesh.

Every time they get stock it sells very fast apparently! It's one of their best sellers!! as much as it sucked that I couldn't pick up the Z30 today it was great news nonetheless.
