RIM just doesn't get it. 🙄

Yeah, who needs a phone that is good for making phone calls, with an excellent antenna that rarely drops a signal and which has a battery that lasts a full day before recharging?

With hardware that was on par with other devices back in '08. Yeah, I would have bought this phone back then. RIM doesn't understand the direction the market is moving and is playing catch up to other device manufacturers.

2008? I wasn't aware phones had NFc in 2008. Which ones exactly?


Are they trying to play catch up or are they rather the only ones in the business smart enough to realize that 'feature creep' and the specs war are actually killing the smartphone business by producing a lot of high powered bricks?

I've been burned with this before 'get this high powered phone with all these features' only to discover that what I have bought is something that can't hold a signal, (making it useless for phone calls) and with a battery that runs down so quickly that you can't get through half a day of work without having to recharge it.


Instead of just piling on the features manufacturers should focus on PERFORMANCE.....

NFC wasn't 2008 but the Processor, Camera, the entire look and feel of the phone are all on par with 2008. As for holding a signal, that isn't always the hardware that is dropping the calls. At&t being a prime example of that. I'm not saying iphones or androids are better, I'm just want RIM to get with the times and offer more than they currently are. I had so many BB's returned over the past 2 years because they are not an enjoyable phone.

Also, the trend for smart phones is mobile computing. Look at HP dumping their computer line. The tech industry is heading that direction and people want the ability to take advantage of that with their hardware. RIM's hardware lacks in that concern and it's a sad thing to see. They were great phones ...

One big problem with what you are saying. This is an entry level blackberry so the processor, camera, etc won't be cutting edge by design. It doesn't have to be.

The entire line of Blackberries this year by the way is the last. QNX phones are due starting early next year.

Hopefully more people will look under the hood on these things and not just assume that just because it has a QWERTY keyboard that it's a "rehash" of some sort

I concurr on your sentiment. This will take a few more years probably until the "4G" wars have been brought to some sort of surrender and then users evaluate what is they need and then just want or are interested in. BB's are solid talk messagers. Past that it depends on things that are still being used and evaluated by the customer.
