Anyways all any of us are saying is that bringing Emojis to the BlackBerry platform is basically a waste of effort at the time as the current target isn't individuals that really desire that function. There are better use of resources as it simply doesn't create a real pull or influx of new users. You can jump up and down, and scream that my satire (used aprox 3 of my posts earlier) is irrelevant, and that all of BlackBerry's users aren't business tycoons. But that just says to me you missed the point. BlackBerry wants business people, it doesn't mean they don't want other people using their product, but that is the target at this point in time. It's a verifiable fact and not open to interpretation.
I'm a 23 year old kid. I own 2 businesses and am in the process of starting a 3rd (golf instructional academy, the one I'm just getting off the ground is a branch off that and is a professional golf tour, and a detailing shop), so I have my feet in both camps. I can tell you from a professional standpoint Emojis are irrelevant. I can also tell you on a personal level Emojis are irrelevant. Haha it's a gimmick that's all, no one has ever pointed, laughed, or called my inferior because I can't read or send an emoji friend, or professional associate. So at the very minimum it's not a good use of time right now.
