    First off, mods I know this is in the wrong section but I have no idea where to post it, so feel free to move it to the right section and delete this sentence.

    So Robyn Urback from National Post has a video where she's comparing an iPhone 6 to a Bold 9700, it's brutal. Check out the video and feel free to sort her out:

    The new iPhone 6 vs. the Blackberry Bold 9700: Video | National Post

    Her latest tweet says (@RobynUrback): "Perhaps we're all just pieces of $%*@" I hope it has to do with her getting slap for such a horrible video.

    Regardless, it just shows how useless the media is lately when it comes to properly showing BlackBerry products and giving them justice.

    So a 2009 device is compared to a brand new device ( incredulous shaking if head) and the 2009 device is derided. This has to be some sort of protest to her employer or satire or both. Does the National Post have a technology department?

    At the beginning she DID mention that she doesn't normally cover tech... But com'n, if you don't normally cover something then wouldn't you ******* research it even more???

    Wow, people get all wound up about this. I saw it as a joke and it seemed more like she is pointing the fingers at National Post to not upgrade her phone.

    This is actually my favourite video she has done. If you watch it you will get what this is all about.

    The thing about jokes is they have to be funny. This video was not funny.

    After watching it again, I feel that it was lightly done but overall it was a poor attempt.

    All this is going to do is make her think BlackBerry fans are weirdos. Read my above posts.

    This kinda junk needs to be correct and taken off media. She is a joke, but her post is not. Too bad the media (and editors) don't do their jobs anymore. I already called an said that they should no longer employ her.

    She's quite the trashy mouth one at that... Not really a classy lady at all.

    totally irrelevant comparison. Why don't they compare the iPhone 6 to an iPhone that was out in 2009? What is the relevance of comparing it to an old BlackBerry? Why not a new Blackberry or a new iPhone - or even old iPhone?

    Come on guys... this is more a commentary on her employer's outdated IT offerings than about technology. Bashing her isn't going to make anyone realize anything about anything other than the Internet is still full of angry people.

    Your absolutely correct. The problem is that Blackberry get victimized. She should have found a way to promote a fellow Canadian Corp. Apple doesn't need anymore free and in this case un-deserved plugs.
