BlackBerry Announces BlackBerry 10.2.1
Blackberry is like a dying old Lion
Some people don't care about the ability to play the latest re-iteration of fruit ninja.
Some people use their phones as phones.
BBos is actually very good for, you know, the main purpose of a phone?
We are talking about SmarthPhone's here, they are running out of business, these OS updates don't seem to be getting anyone's attention.
Sooner or later we will see BlackBerry as a dead OS.
Cause your information is inaccurate.
It's actually Apple's business that is slowing down, and BB is excellently postured against Android (for those users who aren't, uh, thirteen and with a boner for games).
If you look into any other carrier the numbers would also be very simililar, you must be on drugs if you think BB has anything to compete even with WIndowsPhone's.
Where you getting your number's from?
Do you work for BB that's why your so Upset about people commenting on their failures?
Still, even if BB's not the most used device it still has sufficient market share to invest in.
BB still leads the market for businessmen and security, BB offers more than just phones. Again, even if they're not leading the market, their share is still worth fighting for.
Take in mind that they're a business, as long as there's profit they'll keep up, like any given company. As a company leader, wouldn't you be interested in obtaining a bigger share? That's what they're doing, and they're still nailing it in a few areas. I don't really see what's so wrong about a company making a final effort for their loyal customers. Isn't that what we'd like from ours?
Bottom line is that you can't expect a company to just fure all their employees, screw over all their investors and shut down. Blackberry has a moral, and a legal responsibility to their investors and their customers to try to keep going for as long as they can. If they were to actually do as you say and just give up and shut down, they would be liable to massive lawsuits by their investors who would say, quite rightly, that they poured BILLIONS of dollars into the company to try to turn it around and then they turned around and gave them the shaft squandering all their money.
My question is why are so eager to turn everything over...

it is always nice to see companies update their software.
Market share doesn't matter for squat if you don't have a good profit margin. Look the domestic auto manufacturers, Ford, GM, Chrysler, their market share is fine, the problem is that they can't make a product that can generate a profit. They may sell 10 million cars a year, but it doesn't do them any good if each one sells at a loss.
What matters isn't market share, which isn't relevant anyway given the fact that the market is expanding...3% of today's market is more than 90% of the market would have been in 2002.
What matters is profitability.
You seem to be self-centered. Not everyhting is about the US market, BB still sells pretty well overseas, which is sufficient for them to keep updating and releasing new products, etc.
It's what keeps them in the game.
True, in the US the ir market share is slim, but fortunately thei didn't placed all their eggs in one basket. Hopefully they can make a good comeback someday.
