I get extremely irritated when people portray or defend BB as a phone that is for WORK only......
I have the biggest pet peeve when I see comments or people defending that BB is not for games or the famous one " if you want candy crush and silly games get an iPhone.....if you want stuff done get a BB"
BB10 of course is built with productivity in mind first no matter and that is why in the enterprise world nothing can get you through out your day as fast a BB no doubt about it and BB should NEVER lose that focus.
I am tired of hearing this stupid nonsense that BB isn't meant for games or fun. I see on youtube....articles.....forums...with the same nonsense
We need to show the world especially going into 2015 that not only can BB bang through e-mails...text messages...BBM.....whatsapp....all through the hub....or have the best typing experience touch screen and physical keyboard....but we can play games and be fun as well when we are not at work......
We need some BB commercials that showcase the business man or woman through meetings....at the office.....at the construction site.....at the hospital being productive.....and then when heading home either on the train.....at a party......on the bus......or at the bar we can play candy crush....watch netflix.....play spider man unlimited....play minions rush.....play heads up the charades game and also while playing a game peek and flow into the hub or reply quickly to message showing toast notifications...have their kids ask for their phone to play games as well and show case the family having fun with their BB device
The enterprise customer is also a consumer and a family man or woman that has kids and wants to kill time between meetings or on the way to and from work.
In 2015 and moving forward they need to have some commercials that showcase always business first but showing that person having fun as well on his phone.
We need to have the younger generation consider blackberry as future devices as well when they grow up....all these kids and teenagers playing with the iPhone or android devices which phone you think they will get when they are older.....not a BB most likely. We need not only to get the BB10 devices in the hands of the mature crowd but all the young crowd as well.
BB needs to show we are not the phones of the legacy days.....no more freezing screens...no more restarting the phone when installing certain apps or games...no battery pulls....no more hour glass....no more white screen...no more long long boot ups....BB needs to show case the modern BB10 QNX powered OS both as a business tool and productivity tool and as a phone we can use for fun as well when not in the office. BB is really bad on showcasing the power and usefulness of BB10....I know whenever I show my Z30 and what it can do people were like WHHHAAAATTT THAT'S SO COOL!!! I DIDNT KNOW BB MAKES THESE KIND OF PHONES!!! Especially iPhone users lol its too funny.
That is BB major problem with some people......especially people who left us from legacy days to go to android or iPhone.....they still think BB is of the old days and until that mentality is changed BB will never truly grow when it comes to devices it will only do that through clever and smart marketing.
Again I am not saying for BB to attack the consumer market just yet and lose focus on their enterprise model right now but they need to showcase both sides of the phone not just emphasize one side through marketing in a comical but you get the message way....we need some youtube videos going viral :)
