Fair enough. Thanks!

I am saying again that...

Did you take Legere's previous Twitter swipes at BlackBerry as fact as well? After all, he's the head of the company, correct?

Because Chen is no longer engaging with T-Mobile in that manner. Didn't you also see all of the threads here admonishing him for that? Anyway, Chen needs to work on the bigger picture of his role with BlackBerry and making the company strong. I didn't even like that he responded to the 94% "leak".

It's your theory. Your theory is not a fact. Again, You're relying on that tweet when people are showing that they have a working WiFi calling version. There should be an official press release about the delays. Don't you think? I do. With that, there is no room for guessing. We will all know for sure.

That may no longer be the case.... There are plenty of threads here about them dropping support for BlackBerry. Even within this thread that sentiment is mentioned. That does not mean that is correct or will happen, but it also doesn't mean
you are either! Your words have no more consideration than mine or anyone else here.

Why do I have to do that for you? Search for yourself. Just because he is the only one that has publicly stated it, does not mean it is not true. The same if I cannot state any other users.... If you have ever been involved in a beta program, you should know that it should not be discussed with the public. Maybe Wayne is the only one that does not care. Have you ever thought of it that way? I'm not here to defend Wayne at all, but just think if you made some kind of claim, and people accused you of lying, how would you feel? I can say one thing, when the report came in about the email from T-Mobile offering BlackBerry users a great deal on iPhones, I didn't believe it either because I didn't get the email, but I didn't accuse the poster of anything. Come to find out later on I was proven wrong! You could be just as wrong!

I don't know because I'm not part of the beta and not traveling around the world testing it. How about you? You cannot say anything about what has been tested or not. That is speculation.

I don't think anyone is contesting that. But you continuously mention that everywhere I see. We know, We know! But, that does not mean it is because of WiFi calling at this point. Could it be possible that WiFi calling is working just fine now, but they have found other flaws in the OS? Yes, BlackBerry would need to fix that, but you are so sure it is because of WiFi calling like you are in their testing labs! Maybe WiFi calling has been fixed a while ago. How do you know anything different beside stating you gut feelings on the matter.

Why? Because you said so? Chen "needs" to do nothing besides get BlackBerry as a company back on track. Even if he did everything correct, that still does not mean he will have a friend in Legere. That's just something that
YOU would like to see, not necessarily what will happen.
