Why I defend my term "BlackBerry Discrimination"
There are more than several reasons, but it ultimately boils down to this:
BlackBerry market share in the US is almost the same as Windows Phone (within a percentage point and a half), yet BlackBerry gets almost all the severely negatively biased press, and nearly all of the point-of-sale bashing.
More importantly, Windows Phone also has a considerable advantage with apps for a fairly unknown reason. They have some name brand, top dog apps from companies and developers that refuse to develop for BlackBerry 10. Hmm...it would be one thing entirely if they refused for Windows Phone AND BlackBerry 10. Time is money. Business is business. I get it. But Windows Phone gets the action and BlackBerry 10 gets the cold shoulder? Not buying the excuses...
BlackBerry discrimination is a REAL thing. And if you think I'm joking, I encourage you to take a good, hard look around.
Lastly, BlackBerry essentially invented the smartphone. I frankly don't care what mistakes they've made. They do not deserve to fade away into nothingness. Not now...not ever.
This post serves two purposes primarily:
1. Increase awareness and promote taking action
2. Stop the rediculous counter-argument
I've gotten in the past which is, "Oh, like the same way developers discriminate against SailFish and Ubuntu Edge?" Give me a break...it's not the same situation!
