But if you have migraine prone family members they are great because of the higher refresh rate like mine at 600 mhz. We got ourselves a 50 inch LG for $800 4-5 years ago actually was cheaper than most others in the size.

It was a response to the question of why won't people just buy BB10 (and the dog-whistle insult that they're okay with iOS & Android).
In fact, it applies to you as much as anyone else. I really don't care about your particular needs or beliefs. They aren't relevant or important to the diatribe posed by the OP.
If BB10 does what you want, great. If asking questions and throwing up a thinly veiled insult towards others, please refer to my response in question.04-08-16 03:54 PMLike 3 -
Posted via CB1004-08-16 05:14 PMLike 0 - This is my point, of course. It's not a phone for everyone -- iPhone and Samsung also ready make those. I admit that BlackBerry serves a niche market; but that only means that there is a place for them, however small. All it apparently takes is 3 million phones a year, and a fraction of the market would be satisfied.
Posted via CB1004-08-16 05:23 PMLike 0 - Blackberry is the company that makes BB10 phones. I don't know what they feel is necessary for them to keep making them. Breaking even might not meet their goals. We can't force companies to continue to make products just because a small minority wants them. I have no issue if they continue to make them, but I certainly won't condemn them if they don't.

- Actually, I was addressing the audience here in the CB forums ('fora' actually). I happened to notice that there seems to be a healthy contingent of anti BlackBerry, anti-PKB, anti BB10 folks commenting on what one might assume is a space dedicated to those who actually _like_ some of these attributes that are associated with BlackBerry. Instead, I find the opposite, so naturally I'm surprised.

Now its turned into a post directed to people here on your thoughts on people's behavior in the forum. I find it fascinating.TGR1 likes this.04-08-16 09:21 PMLike 1 - Actually that's not what your statement in your first post said at all. You were blaming society for not allowing certain things to exist even though a small portion of people might like them. You discussed how society won't allow Blackberry exist and how they will only allow one or two options and so forth.
Now its turned into a post directed to people here on your thoughts on people's behavior in the forum. I find it fascinating.
All I've done is to make the link between some of those who've answered this thread by essentially confirming my original contention (i.e. wishing to enforce an iOS/Android universe) and their membership in society at large.
Posted via CB1004-09-16 12:32 AMLike 0 - This is a place for discussing BlackBerry, the good and the bad. Right now, there's a lot of bad surrounding the company and ignoring it won't change that. There's no rule that says we all have to think the PKB is the greatest thing since sliced bread. There is no rule that says we have to agree with everything the company does. There is no rule that says we can't have, let's just say, more realistic viewpoints about the health of the company. There's no rule that says we can't have differing opinions about the so-called superiority of BB10(or the inferiority of other OS's). There's no rule that says we all have to pretend like everything's gonna be alright. If you want a forum where people only talk about the positives or pretend like everything's okay(and the company isn't in a seriously precarious state), this isn't it. You might actually have to start your own website for that one.
And there's no rule which states that I have to accept that typing on glass, opening an app for every form of message (i.e. not centralizing messages via the Hub), and repeatedly hitting a physical home button (i.e. not gesturing) is somehow more "advanced." those are simply differences that I choose not to engage with.
As you put it: "...There's no rule that says we can't have differing opinions..."
I fully agree.

In the almost 3 years that I've had my z10, seemingly every iphone user I know ( and there are everywhere) has changed phones once or twice for one reason or another ( including cracked screens, dead batteries, or just needing the latest or something larger) whilst my z10 shows no sign of slowing down.
When I asked what that new shiny thing they are showing off costs, I smile and walk away.

And fire sale prices for the Z10 are great, but if you paid $599 for it when it launched with the terrible battery life and camera that it has I don't think many people would feel like they got a "deal" with that phone.04-09-16 11:19 AMLike 3 -
Posted via CB1004-09-16 01:44 PMLike 0 - There are still people out there who appreciates vinyl and its sonic characteristics against CDs, although its a niche, as today we are shifting from physical (vinyls, CDs) to digital.
Whoever they are, they must be living in a dream world. This is simply reality. Competition is reality. There will be no innovation without it. If the Wright Brothers sorely believed we cannot achieve flight, you can't go from London to New York for 7 hours now.
