Sideloading apps is for Blackberry diehards. A sideloaded app is a band-aid. It is a last resort from blackberry lovers to prove they are still current. I have only sideloaded 2 apps, Kik and Snapchat and they dont work worth a ****. They are slow, and crash more than any native app i have ever tried. I havent tried the google play store yet so i cant comment on that. But i did slideload with a PC and my wifi connection. I told one person about it and they replied "hahahah wow....why don't you just get a *insert any other smart phone company here*"
Try telling a single 20-40 female old girl that she should switch to Blackberry and she will laugh in your face. Its not current, its old, and you cant get snapchat on it, or kik, or zoosk, or tinder.
I understand that older people may not care about trendy apps because they don't use them, but that is what drove the 18-30 year old customer base away from blackberry. They have all left. As they grow older they will continue to upgrade their iphones and not even consider a blackberry. Good luck getting them back with features that are years behind the competition.look_alive and bbq10l like this.11-15-13 01:12 PMLike 2 -
You're probability right...
And that's kind of amusing actually, because to not see the obvious flaw in the analogy is very funny.
Sony movies, let's say on a Blu Ray, have a universal format that can be read by every Blu Ray player out there...
On the other hand, most analogies involving cars, BlackBerry and the awesome CB forums are hilarious to read as well.

BlackBerry has $1 billion DEBT
They can make it rain for wp8 all day and still have cash to spareTerser Nori and cckgz4 like this.11-15-13 01:18 PMLike 2 - How can I install direct from the Play Store. When I select an app to download, it asks me which one of my android devices to install it on? So I select my Razr HD LTE and it spins and says installed. But its not on my Z10?Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes likes this.11-15-13 01:18 PMLike 1

They also have A REAL low to mid-end STRATEGY and now also have real FLAGSHIPS with current hardware.
3 things BlackBerry doesn't have.
One has to wonder why it worked out better for Nokia/WP than for BlackBerry.
Oh, actually no one should really be surprised.

Please advise why you think they may need help if this is the case? Doesn't 10.2.1 fix what people didn't like? If they like it they should buy it?11-15-13 01:24 PMLike 0 -
But that doesn't change the fact of the analogy being pretty bad.
And your mind being completely closed when it comes down to BlackBerry's competition.
Posted via CB1011-15-13 01:25 PMLike 3 - Because Nokia wasn't running around telling everyone that would listen to "please buy us". BB is so desperate, they even flew execs to FB HQ to beg. BB will have to fix itself.Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes likes this.11-15-13 01:26 PMLike 1

Now you have this idea to literally disintermediate their own store (!!), dilute their own brand, and blow the doors open on what was at least a secure, curated market. Big developers like secure, curated markets, especially those of us who deal with customers money.
What a strange and interesting story.

Oh please great one, wake me from my trance.
Posted via CB1011-15-13 01:29 PMLike 0 - My mind is wide open, because I actually make suggestions in the Beta Zone, I download leaks and maybe sideloaded one or two apps.

Because FB and BlackBerry are diametrically opposed, in terms of corporate culture.
BlackBerry stands for security and a little bit for privacy, Facebook for serving ads and invading your privacy.
This just shows how desperate they truly were.
They would have sold their "soul" to the devil to further exist.
