Thanks for clarifying that. I figured there was some sense to them. But I think that's too convoluted nowadays. Short and sweet:

Z series, Z1, Z2, Z3
Q series, Q1, Q2, Q3
And so forth.

Remember, people are unbelievably dumb (evidenced by how many iphones sell a year). So we gotta keep it simple for the children.

I like that simple choice of names, because successively larger numbers correspond to subsequent releases, unlike the current models. Thus:
Q10 ---> Q1,
Z10 ---> Z1,
Z30 ---> Z2 and so on.

However, I don't appreciate your condescension and stereotyping of people, iphone users or not.

10 seems like there would be an 11. Or 12. Or 15. Etc. Keep it simple. 1 2 3 4. Is there any other successful (thus not Nokia) phone series that have double/triple digit series names?

And yes, you do sell the life style. How is that hard to understand? God - damn it, no wonder the internet turns people into dicks, I'm becoming such an ******* because you can't understand a basic marketing principle. *gives up* *waits for the hate*

Sorry to disappoint you but there is no forthcoming "hate". Selling the lifestyle for BlackBerry seems to me an unworkable concept as BlackBerry is no longer an aspirational brand and there is almost no one who considers their choice of phone an extension of themselves...well not anyone that is an adult at least. In short, there is no BlackBerry lifestyle given the devices are in the hands of professionals, semi-professionals, students, grandmothers, construction workers, the kid working at McDonalds and just about everyone else in every spectrum of society.. To "sell the lifestyle" there would have to be an element of exclusivity or at the very least a clearly defined market. EVERYONE is decidedly not a clearly defined market.

But to your naming scheme again, I disagree that 10 would indicate there would be an 11. I haven't a clue as to which devices with multi numeric schemes have sold well but I also do not see how that is a point. BlackBerry needs to distinguish itself from it's competitors. Having a Z2 or Q3 seems to me to be too close in naming to that of Samsung (S2, S3, S4) and Apple (3G, 4S, 5C).

I think they should use the names of the American Gladiators:

Malibu, Lace, Zap, Gemini, Nitro, Sunny, Blaze, Bronco, Gold, Laser, Jade, Titan, Diamond, Ice, Thunder, Turbo, Storm, Tower, Viper, Altas, Cyclone, Elektra, Havoc, Sabre, Siren, Sky, Dallas, Hawk, Jazz, Rebel and Tank.

You know you love it.

Most epic suggestion ever.

I would start with renaming the OS. QNX sounds good to me, I wonder if anyone ever thought about it before

BlackBerry Powered by QNX sounds like a line I would use. Especially with that commercial they made that explains how QNX is used through all different types of systems so then QNX would mean something to people.

The four phones(they only need four) would be:

Flagship: Slider = SwitchBlade
Midrange Hybrid(Q10) = Bold
Midrange All Touch = Blade
Lower end Hybrid = Alpha(Beginner, starter that kind of thing)

I miss the Bold, Curve, Storm, Tour, etc

The next version of the Q10 should be considered the "new" Bold. And if they release another Q5 that could be a curve.

I think they might need new names for the Z line though. Just because they've never had an all touch screen phone. Besides the storm

So you've never seen a Torch 9860 or a Curve 9380?

how about the number of berries tells you the model?

So you'd have the Blackberry Berry then the Blackberry Berry Berry and then the Flagship device the Blackberry Berry Berry Berry.

[anjumaziz]

Here is my onecent...
Black Apple
Black Grape
Black Berry Super
Superberry


Aziz ..... Z30

What was wrong to city names?
Blackberry London was catchy and so much better than zee/zed 10

[Q100]

If it were possible to re name the current range of devices, what would your choices be?

i'll start it off.


Z30 = Berry One
Q10= Berry Two
Z10= Berry Three
Q5= Berry Four

Q10 Berry One / OEM device
Because it still looks like a blackberry as for the others I think their competitive device clones to win those customers over be it apple or Samsung.
Without the logo on those devices you wouldnt be able to tell what it is exactly where with the Q10 with a glance you know it's a blackberry!

Does 3 Berries win you the jackpot?

The periodic table is full of cool sounding names. Pick a few of those.

[greenberry666]

With Chen's Disney connection, and now that Disney own Star Wars, BlackBerry phones will have a Star Wars theme:

The Vader 1,2,3 etc
The Skywalker 1,2,3 etc
The Yoda.

The Yoda would have a special theme that completely messes up the sentence structure on anything. In order to be read properly, people would have to text you in yoda-speak.

[Echo86]

I would keep the names as they are but give them a little extra based on colour

Blackberry Z10 in White - Blackberry Z10 Purity
Blackberry Z10 in Black - Blackberry Z10 Temptation

etc etc
