Latest signs of Blackberry's exit from relevance

Well, SprintCare on Twitter said "Yes to 1X Advanced support." when I asked them about it... Which is better than nothing, but it's not like they're the most reliable source of information. Either way I'll be buying one, I really have no other alternative.

 

Yeah no kidding. My wife is still holding out. Holding on to her palm pixi for dear life. She could care less about 800 or 2600. She just wants a keyboard.

Well as of this past Friday, I officially made the switch.

 

My work related mobile phone number is now connected to Google Voice, and rings on my HTC One. Also, I now get the corporate e-mail on my HTC One through Touchdown.

 

I am very happy not have to carry two devices anymore.

Good choice bro. I still am looking forward to getting a one myself.

Z30 is supposedly coming next month.

Santa Claus is also supposedly coming next month, but I haven't seen that fat 'tard in 30 years, so I wouldn't hold my breath.

I feel sorry for people who are proud to own a Blackberry, I see them all the time. I ask "What is it about your Blackberry you like?" They always say "I like the interface for my email." I think "Wow am i going to feel that way about Android when something 5x better and more reliable comes on the market? NAH I'm never getting old!!

I would buy the z30 if it was available...i have another line coming up in 90 days..we'll see about it then.

Corporate store employees who got the BB Q10 on the advocate program earlier this year were originally told they would be upgraded to the next BB. Last week there was a memo that said this wouldn't happen because that future device had been canceled.

You know what is funny. They kill 2 cheap handsets intended for non US use and people in here are flipping out. I guess people didn't know that they were OS7 devices that they killed.

I can't speak for others in this thread, but as for me, my point of posting the article link was to point out that it was another sign that Blackberry is having financial troubles.

yes they are..but they aren't dead yet.  I'm still hankering for the z30 i found out you CAN replace the battery.  It's not user easy but it's not nearly as hard as say an IOS device.  I needed a phone sooner than waiting for Sprint to stop holding off on the blackberry.

You are right...but it sure seems that Blackberry is 'Circling the Drain'

 

My personal guess is that some point, Blackberry will go bankrupt, and be sold off in parts to Apple, Google, and Microsoft.

 

That is just my opinion.

we'll see.  BB actually has a ton of cash reserves and due to the way Canadian law works they are actually cash flow positive.  I think once they get these inventory write downs done(remember heins's contract highly incentivized him to sell the company and nothing else..i bet this CEO is incentivized to turn it around..which he is known for doing) things should turn around.

As BlackBerry inevitably gets eaten away, Google should jokingly name an upcoming Android version "Blackberry Cobbler"

 

:P

    • Has anyone checked Verizon n77 in areas with more than 100MHZ active? This spectrum has been fully available since August of last year.  Of course they are not typically using SA.
    • I updated my other s21 ultra factory unlocked to the latest firmware... It behaves like the S24 Ultra n38 or n41 depending on 80 or 100MHz or their nr- arfcn.
    • I see everything correct. The two ARFCN's you mentioned earlier and they idenitify as n-41.  using 4.832b SCP. Only using one TM SIM.
    • I posted this in the Nebraska Premier thread last week, but just wanted to share in this thread the progress that T-Mobile has made in filling in the great coverage gap known as Nebraska. Between late last year and this year, they have added 28 new expansion sites filling in the coverage hole, plus 11 Sprint site conversions in eastern Nebraska and far western Iowa. Notably, in the last month n41 coverage was added on over a dozen expansion sites in western Nebraska that were added to the network last year. For comparison, here is the very first map that I created in October of 2022 after we noted expansion sites outside of Sprint conversion in Lincoln and Omaha. It doesn't show any western parts of the state, but just know there was nothing besides roaming coverage and a little B12 coverage leaking down from South Dakota to the west of Valentine, NE.
    • Sent a copy of my DB in an e-mail just now.  Couldn't leave the house today but can hopefully get a screenshot when I'm out on another cell site tomorrow.
