Another analyst bashes BlackBerry PlayBook

They are loosing market share so fast, their head is spinning. They need to worry about more than just their core group. Our company like many others have stopped using BES or severely lost users to other operating systems that give them identical functionality plus more.

I don’t know one company who is considering these devices. Plus who uses a BB anymore???

And it doesn’t support that?

Yes it is, because people may be sitting at home and using their tab and not want to go get another device, that if they had picked a better one (any of them) they would be able to do this basic function. RIM isn’t marketing this to JUST BB users, it’s supposed to be for all users. You are only considering people that have BB. Since BB is the fastest dropping Manufacturer next to Nokia, it is showing you how out of date RIM is with what people want.

BB sales are increasing as are revenue and profits…. Only market share is dropping because there is much more competition now. But hey keep making up “facts” like Fox News to support your view on the situation.

Not making up facts, stop being a fanboy and open your eyes to reality. Market share is what I was talkign about. Apples market share is fine.. BB lost it all to Android. Follow the markets, not your blind faith in a crappy outdated OS that can’t even provide native support for non BB mail/calendars.

How is the OS outdated? I can do absolutely everything you can on Android and iOS, except WiFi hotspot, which is coming next update. I prefer a physical keyboard over touchscreen because I can type 5 times faster… Is it out dated because I can’t swipe side to side to find apps. You BB haters are hilarious, everything is about how the OS looks, not what the phone can do. Let me know when Apple or Android get real security, data compression or stop dropping calls, even the hakers that hacked the BB at Pwn2Own were only able to get into the media card, no emails, contacts or passwords a 12 year old can get into Apple’s data in under 12 seconds. My fiancee’s HTC Desire drops calls as much as an iPhone and we are on the same network. I’ve drop maybe 2 calls on my Bold 9700, one I was going through a tunnel, so let me know when your awesome phones can actually function as a phone. Smartphones are not gaming devices so I don’t give a shit if I can play angry birds. My phone is for productivity, I have over 1000 contacts on it, and all my work is stored because I can use massage storage mode.. oh right iOS can’t do that, you need itunes to access any kind of data storage, awesome, let me know when your IT department lets you install itunes. I use it for presentations instead of a laptop, it has wireless updates to our works SAP system and salesforce system so I can see anywhere how machines or sales people are doing. What else do I need, a flashy OS or piss poor battery life? no thanks.

ROFL, wow this just goes to show you how little you know about other OS’s and thereby don’t know the limitations of your own. No you CAN”T do everything android can do. Somethign as simple as customization where I can put agenda widgets, mail widgets or whatever, then move them around. Change the look and feel of the icons. with BB you need some STUPID theme builder to rework it in what I can do in 3 seconds. I am the IT Director in our company and very familiar with limitations of BB. There is a reason we have moved over 50 phones OFF BB and onto other OS’s. That security thing you have going on is delusional. I have encrypted security as well along with Remote wipe and phone control.. NOW WHAT!! We haters of BB becasue we know the limitations and hate seeing BB users blinded by their own ignorance. All phones including BB can be hacked, unless your a CIA spy that needs uber encryption, you are just fear mongering. Noone in my company or any of my peers companies have EVER had their phones hacked. Stop fear mongering .

Mass storage mode?? WTF? I have 40 GB of space on my phone and I can access it ALL. I can install apps to the card and store info no it. WOOT. Now what AGAIN. . You are so out of date its not even funny… just like your phone.

Dropped calls have NOTHING to do with any type of OS. It’s a carrier thing. I NEVER drop calls. Everyone here also uses their phones as communication devices and not games.

You are like a child that can’t admit his favorite cartoon isn’t watched by everyone.

Keep drinking that RIM kool-aid. you probably still think Nokia is a viable company.. pffft

Ooooo widgets… like I said, you are in love with a flashy OS and have your blinders on because of it. I am glad you can turn your wifi on and off with such ease, guess what it takes me 2 key strokes to do it as well. Open mail, guess what.. it takes one button stroke cause its one my homepage, I slide the page sideways to access media apps, woot just like you can, it just looks different.

I dont BS me about being able to hack into the BB OS, no one has done it, EVER, the first time in history it got hacked was a few weeks ago at pwn2own and that was through the new webkit browser and like I said it they were only able to get into the media storage. If someone finds my phone on the street they can’t access it period without the password. I have remote wipe capabilities as well. As do normal BIS users with BlackBerry Protect that is out now.

Dropped calls has some to do with the carrier but mostly due to the phone and its antenna design. If you compare a BB to any other phone on the same network, BB will drop far less calls.

You are a child that is in love with fancy colors, I am in love with functionality and something that actually works. Yes I can do a lot of the same with Android, and I actually like the Android OS, but it doesn’t compare when it comes to actual work. I have used it, and like I said my fiancee has an Android phone, I told her to get it because it best suits her needs. But what I am tired of hearing is your ignorant Android and Apple users claiming BB OS is outdated and cant do anything when it CAN do everything you can do, and then some. Let me know when you get data compression, my work saves thousands by not having data hogs like the iPhone or Android phones.

The widgets allow you access your information instantly with no button presses.

Keep lying to yourself that your phone can do everything when it can’t. Keep justifying your outdated software and hardware along with your tiny screens, where you have to scroll for EVERYTHING.

Don’t be a hater just because you made the wrong choice.

P.S. you BB Browser SUCKS.. it’s the slowest on teh market.. oh until they finally realease their vapor ware, but that would leave out all existing BB users who are stuck with the worst browser on the market

Yes I forgot you have all your widgets on one screen and don’t have to scroll side to side to view them. And yes hitting that button once to pull up information is just so time consuming. lol small screen, big deal I choose the small screen because I want the Bold form factor. If I want a bigger screen I’ll buy a torch.

You’ve clearly never used the new webkit browser so stop talking, its out now, it has been for half a year. I could post the tests that show its as fast or faster to comparable phones, but you’ll ignore them then show how a some Android phone with a dual core is faster than a Curve 9300 with a 630mhz processor to try and prove your point.

But your huge Android bias has made you as bad as Apple Fan boys, you hate on BB solely because of how it looks and thats the only thing you can say is outdated is the UI, is Apple’s iOS outdated too because it doesn’t have widgets? I use a BB for the reasons I stated below, I also like Android and have used it, but it doesn’t suit my needs, my BB does, which is why it still sells very well and is still used in the business world because it works best. Remember RIM designs its phones and OS for business first, consumers come second, it has always been this way.

For example?

100′s of examples if you can take 5 minutes and google it up… Do some work for yourself. But here is one example. The craptastic BB Storm2 when sold to our company was told it would be updated for OS6 and have the new QNX browser.. that was over a year ago… To this date, the BB’s in our company can’t browse the web faster than making a cup of coffee. There are many many many promises that have been said In the FUture.. but take waayyyyy to long… There is a reason they have lost 20% of their market share. They are stale, old, and slow with real updates.

Again, at the end of the year I will be right. Blanket statement or not doesn’t make it untrue.
