    This is a simple question to my CB family:

    What was or is the most underrated BlackBerry product and or service ever made.

    The same in reverse:
    What was or is the most overrated BlackBerry product and or service ever made.

    I'll go first...underrated I'd say the Z30 and Overrated would be BBM music.

    Overrated right now is whatever the current flagship is. The Z10 was once heralded as the best smartphone on the market. We usually have to wait 12 months before the actual feelings regarding a product comes out. Underrated right now IMO is Z3. Had lots of potential but not sure if BBRY delivered.

    If we are talking about historically underrated/overrated, the most overrated product ever was the Z10! A lot of people thought it was going to beat iPhone at a point. Historically underrated again is the Z10! It gets flack for the writedown but I don't think the quality of a product should be judged retroactively by its sales performance and it's just an undersized Z30. How opinions flip flop.

    Underrated is Blackberry speakers. Everything since the 9000 to the Passport has had sound quality in speaker mode that puts any competition to shame. I'm guessing not many people play music on speaker enough for it to matter because I hardly see it touched upon.

    Overrated is security. I want my stuff secure, sure. But fan boys on here act like that's the sole reason to buy a phone when 95% of the world obviously doesn't care.

    Overrated are the hyped BBM stickers.

    Underrated the Z30. It's like you have an UFO and no one believes you. Such a great phone.

    Every phone has been overrated as a killer of something. At least on here. Never happens.

    Has anything ever been underrated on here?

    You haven't used many phones if you think BB speakers put the rest of the competition to shame. The HTC M7 and M8 are two right off hand that are better.

    Lol no. Every single thing released is the world beater of the thing it was released to compete against.

    Underrated - Bold 9900 - still love that workhorse phone that BB still hasn't been able to replicate in terms of features.

    I seriously don't know who is hyping these stickers besides BlackBerry. I can't name a single person who wouldn't miss their absence.

    From my personal standpoint:

    Overrated - Tour 9630 (stupid Sprint)

    Underrated - Z10

    Underrated would be the Playbook hardware, which includes the speakers.

    Overrated would be Blend, in its current form.

    Overrated - 9900. Horrible battery, an even worse camera, red light of death. To name a few things I hated about that phone.

    I'd have to agree with this one. Stickers are kind of pointless.

    In a nutshell it was a way to share and discover music using BBM.

    Passport trumps their speakers. At least that is what BlackBerry claims.

    I actually liked the Bold 9900 very much. In my opinion, the 9800 Torch was overrated. I personally can't stand slider phones.

    With the way the software is designed and operates, paired with the little hope I have there will be a proper update in the future, I find Blend overrated. It works, I suppose.

    Everyone talks about it as if it's a standard bearer. Never used it but I assume since it's obsolete now it was overrated

    Overrated: Z10, Stickers, gestures/hub, design

    Underrated: Z30, BB10 Digital Keyboard, Swipe up to wake from sleep (Don't really know what to call that gesture)

    Probably going to upset a lot of people with this list...
