Am I the only Blackberry mobile user in Ireland?

Not2Good

Am currently using Blackberry Z10.went to mobile shop, nobody sells new ones! Most shops don't sell covers for Blackberrys, in a recent enough poll on boards.ie I was the only person 'admitting' that I used a Blackberry. (Phone shop however said they would get them for a Corporate order of say 500 handsets!).... Am I the last Blackberry user in Ireland?!

So you are all in favour of keeping the Blackberry alive? Great, the Z10 is at least comparible to the iPhone 4S my last phone...

Have one for work. TERRIBLETERRIBLETERRIBLETERRIBLETERRIBLE. You see what you did, you went and opened up all that frustration that I've been bottling up. No apps, internet crashes, randomly locks and/or shuts itself down. Takes 5 minutes (literally, this is not a turn of phrase, I timed it) to turn on after it randomly turns off. The battery sucks big time, I think because of all the random things it does, such as turning on wifi hotspots. There is nothing worse, I would be better off with two cups and a long piece of string

It started as a corporate tool and it's moving back that way. It's use by teenagers was an aberration which they followed to their detriment.

I used one for years. It was the only supported platform for accessing corporate email and Bloomberg. Quite liked it. IT now let us use Apple or Samsung phones so there is that choice. Wouldn't go back at this stage.

When I started work here all the execs had them as company phones. I really wanted one. Had a big case of phone envy. Now it's years later they and all use iPhone's. I really hope they don't make me use one.

That's a lie. They never force sex on me

Just like the Pandas, the Blackberry is very misunderstood and underestimated, encryption ( the Blackberry not the Panda) is so good Hear that the US govt issued it to CIA, FBI etc recently and this huge contract saved the Blackberry Makers, and no, I'm not their safe house keeper in Ireland, thank you very much, sorry hold on.... 'The Guest ' has just arrived ..... 'the pigeon is in the loft...' . Er I mean, I have to go....

App makers should be required to make software for Blackberry handsets, says the boss of the phone company.

In an open letter to members of the US Congress, John Chen said rivals should be obliged to make their widely used apps available on Blackberry handsets.

Ah, so there are two possibly three Blackberry users all over 18 in Ireland (32 Counties may I add) , I feel another forum being created, 'The Blackberry User' forum …

That, boys and girls, is what a death rattle sounds like. Talk about desperation.

BB, like Nokia, rested on their laurels for too long. They'd cornered the corporate market, largely thanks to their interoperability with MS exchange, then sat on their fat arses. Then the iPhone came out. And then Android. And then they, just like Nokia's Symbian, looked really, really dated.

But instead of fixing the problem, they decided to diversify into the youth market. Then back to corporate. All a bit like rearranging the deckchairs on the deck of the Titanic, TBH.

In fairness, I expected them to go pop by Q1 2014, so they've done well. Can't be long now.

Hush now Blackberry... just close your eyes and fall asleep...
