The biggest piece of this puzzle that seemed to really fly by the BB loyal was before the new platform and OS even came out! Like LAST summer, when they were teasing this new Blackberry operating system, and then in the middle of it, right when their development would have been at its peak, there is this wave of information about a possible sale and that the Blackberry hardware would run Android OS. Now of course this didn't happen, and they did eventually release what was quite a revamped operating system on their new hardware...but what does that tell you about confidence of Blackberry, because you know they watched every inch of that development, and in the midst of it, they're about to sell out to one of their biggest competitors?
If Blackberry's own faith was that low to even SUGGEST the option was there for an android based device...consumers and investors should have been standing back watching the collapse from a safe distance. Whenever i would talk about this before, Blackberry faithful would jump on me like fire, telling me I was a fanboy and blah blah blah...when the reality is, I was just on the outside looking in and watching it without anything invested at all...and because i like development across the spectrum of smartphones, i WANTED them to succeed, but it's kind of like a bad accident, sometimes you just know that it's a lost cause to have hope. Blackberry is a sinking ship...it's now all but submerged (in the consumer market).
