  • BlackBerry's Strategy Is The Best One To Retrieve Its Past Glory [View article]
    Nice trick if they can do that, ov, but it has to be done from the beginning; nobody is going to willingly pay for what was once a free service, as FB are going to discover, if they belatedly try to impose charges for some of their services (as they are rumoured to be considering). Certainly, there's a possibility that commercial enterprises may pay for a page from which to announce their wares, especially now that they've seen how much value they get from their FB pages. On the other hand, trying to monetize via adverts, as FB has tried, is unlikely to succeed.

    Perhaps so, unless they can actually get people to pay for the service from the beginning? Either way, it's another nail in FB's coffin...

    ne, I guess that you have better eyesight than me; I don't have any use for smartphones, as the screens are just too small for serious work, and there are so many much cheaper options if just for telephoning. A phablet, though, just might do the trick, especially if sized as big as possible but still small enough to fit in a jacket/vest pocket, so as to be truly portable (unlike any tablet, other than the mini versions). Hey, why not a phablet with a sliding keyboard? That would be a seriously useful tool!

  • Is There An Easy Solution To Nokia's Problems? [View article]
    Most people go for the look and feel, it seems, sep, and don't think about what can't be seen or touched, and if nothing else one has to credit Apple with knowing what sells...

  • BlackBerry Browsers Grows 21% In The UK At Apple's Expense, Soon To Overtake Samsung [View article]
    So pj got deleted too? I've never known him to post anything offensive, so what criteria are SA using (and why)? I guess they don't consider themselves bound by their own rules; if in defense of an underdog, I could almost understand it, but not in support of the villain of the piece, who doesn't even provide entertainment value with his misleading and repetitive sprawls!

  • What Is QNX And What Does It Mean For BlackBerry's Future? [View article]
    Oh dear Kurt! I wonder how the Republicans will put a negative spin on that? Something like "denying the inherent right of people to write themselves off (along with whoever else is involved...) in car wrecks", or will it be the "it's a new tax!" ploy?

    ted, they're doing a much better job than BBRY (only pushing the Curve; no mention of even Z10!) here in central France...

    "I mean it's only 1.25 away"! Such thinking bemuses me dw, but you are right, people tend to think in absolutes, when what really matters is the percentage change (which, with 1.25 v 3.75 is rather large)! Imagine Samsung's price jumping up 33% in the same period!

    "more on target now then they ever have been"? Maybe so dw, but it's taken rather a long time hasn't it? This mirrors my own experience within such a collaboration; no one in real control, down at the foot soldier level, so it's "one step forwards, two steps backwards..."

  • But, But BlackBerry Was Dead [View article]
    Why do you bother Tr? I'm giving up, as I've just had two more posts deleted, one just a question to Marcap, the other just telling people another of my posts had been deleted! How can that be considered "offensive" (or whatever criteria SA are using here)?
