I did have hope, but I think it is time to be realistic
Well I have to say that BB has pretty much come to its end. It is sad, I had so much hope for them, in fact, I let that hope sway me too much and I took a risk on stock in the company. I have been slowly realizing life is easier if you mitigate risk, but this hope feeling got the better of me.
Just looking around this Site and others, you can feel that today's event was a let down. I thought BB was doing such a good job of building the hype and that today was going to knock it out of the park (notice Kevin and others have not been using that phrase like they have in the past). But I saw the ball get caught in an unsuspected current and just drop into a glove for an easy out. All that work, all that hype, gone in 30 minutes.
What comes next? Another swell of negativity in the US media, people feeling let down, yet again, whether it is justified or not. This will continue to cycle until it really doesn't matter anymore. BB could come out with a magic phone and people would just shrug their shoulders and go, yah right.
My bold 9900 and my playbook will be used until they drop, they are good products and work well together. But one could argue you can make good music with a ukulele but we all know that won't sell out a stadium. In fact my bold and playbook we probably be the last I mobile tech I own period. I just kind of realized they are more toys than tools and my laptop (funny not really considered a true mobile device anymore) is my real work-horse.
Sorry, I know a bit of a rant and feeling sorry for myself but, you have to admit today, and the future, was/will be a little sad, and maybe down right f,ing depressing. Oh, well, fool me once same one you, fool me twice, shame on me.
