The folks at CrackBerry have issues...

[anon(631531)]

The folks at Crackberry are truly insane. The amount of hate that is perpetuated toward other platforms there is ridiculous. I understand being a fan, but being so blind and oblivious to the point that you lose all objectivity is something I just cannot interact with anymore. I got lit up cause I said I'm moving to an iPhone finally...even got a few "why not Droid??" responses lol

IMHO, there has ALWAYS been more hate on the Crackberry forums. I blame this on Kevin, who sets the tone for the whole thing. As bad as it has been, it has ratcheted up several notches when the BB10 delay was announced initially. Now, what are the BB fanboys going to do until Feb.2013? The iPhone5 is now out, and the Android world is being rocked by the SGS3, so what's a BB fanboy to do? The hate that they spout is jealousy, pure and simple. The once and future king, has long been dethroned, and Rim has put all their eggs into one basket( BB10 ). The hatred that these people feel, right or wrong, should be directed at RIM. The two bozos who were running that company, actually ran it into the ground. I'm far from being a genius, but i saw this coming a long time ago. When RIMM stock was greatly inflated, i sold it short at $15.00, and bought it back at $8.00( should have put in my buy back order for $7.00 ), and made a killing.

I just love the way that the BB faithful think that Rim really cares about what they say and do. LOL

Good to be here. Now the frustrating wait until the iPhone arrives....

Welcome. There is life after CrackBerry.

Crackberry needs controversy to get page hits. If not for the controversy, nobody would go there, unless they wanted to share their PIN in hopes of meeting a date.

That's what happens when a platform goes over a year with no new devices.

It really must suck to have a device you're so bored with that you spend your time on other sites trashing the iPhone like those guys are doing...

I've been saying this since Android came out. Android users trash everyone else while bragging about their Tegra whatever quad core whatever at 1.3 or 1.2 ghz... while iPhone users continue to actually USE their phones.

You should really stop thinking and start taking pictures...give your 4S a proper send out.

I don't know if the next owner wants a non-Virgin 4S.

In all fairness, only Android Central lists "active members".

Many of the Crackberry members have moved on and are no longer active. They just never deleted their accounts. I recognize a lot of the handles of former CB members on iMore, AC, and even wpcentral.

I still post there but not as much, since I no longer use BlackBerry.

I mainly joined iMore, since I really like some of the topics in the Lounge. You folks here have also been nice to me, despite the fact that I do not have an iPhone.

Android Central tends to be the most hostile, though. I got accused of being of troll for suggesting that a poster who had lousy coverage on Sprint switch to VZW. I didn't tell him to get an iPhone/Windows Phone/BlackBerry. Just mentioning VZW in the Sprint Samsung Galaxy SIII forum got me accused of being an anti-Sprint troll.

To their credit, several posters did defend what I said.

I also explained that I do not have VZW, nor do I work for any carrier, so choice of carrier is not my "dog in the race".

Afaik imore is under the same company that crack berry & androidcentral are under. & they r all doing the same thing for that company, getting page views. & this is how you do it, inflammatory headlines
