    Default Does no one care about Blackberry anymore?

    To be honest, I am a huge fan of Blackberry smartphones and am probably one of the loyal fans out there who still uses a Blackberry smartphone. I have the Blackberry Z10, which is one of the best mobile devices I have ever used. The Blackberry 10 OS is fluid and is very easy to navigate, plus it does get all the things done smoothly, which offers a lot of features and true multitasking in which I can can switch between apps without closing one or the other. Does anyone still use a Blackberry phone? Does anyone really care about the brand anymore?

    For what it is worth, my view is that, at the moment and for the foreseeable future, if a phone is not Android or IOS based it is going nowhere. This is quite simply where the content is. I think the big losers in recent years are Blackberry, Microsoft and Nokia. Windows Phone seems to be simply be too little too late. The adds for the Lumia barely mention Windows Phone, the last on I saw flashing it on the screen for a fraction of a second. I haven't seen any adds at all for Blackberry for some time. I don't know anyone who is currently using a Blackberry, though I do know many ex-users.

    Of course, it is possible that Blackberry may cling on to a niche market, but I haven't seen any signs of this at the moment.

    Do you care? Haha.

    BlackBerry has been out of the mobile phone race when it first refused to go with the trend. Now, even if they have released a couple of touch screen phones, nobody cares anymore. They're no longer the mobile phone giant that they were before.

    I thought Blackberry died after Obama was elected Prez of the USA with one glued to his ear and the Secret Service were working to separate him and it and they obviously succeeded as it disappeared shortly after.
    I stand unequivicably behind everything I say , I just dont ever remember saying it !!

    I know plenty of Melbourne business's that bought into the Blackberry and Enterprise Server, that was 10 years ago.... I think they all learnt to move on.

    Is it just me, or do many of these recent threads reek of market research?

    Blackberry is one of the most secure mobile operating system. I have been using it for a while but had to switch to Android for a while. After reading your review, I might just go back if things are great on the other side.

    Blackberry? Isn't that some sort of noxious weed?

    The last person I knew with a BlackBerry was my grandmother. She switched to a pink iPhone 5C in November. I now know no one with a BlackBerry. Everything that seemed great about the BlackBerry phones is just kind of clunky now. That mouse-ball thing on the front was always kind of terrible. Either way, the reputation of the brand is definitely shot. I doubt it coming back any time soon or at all. My grandmother actually saw the new models and decided to pass.

    There is a fine line between "Hobby" and "Madness"
