Dang! Blackberry even has to take shots in a Nokia thread? Well, allow me to retort! At least Blackberry has copy and paste! And network security! And BBM! And, um... that's all I got.

It seems to be de rigeur to hate on Blackberry these days. But I think people are starting to realize that the smartphone market = more than the Facebook + Angry Birds continuum. http://arstechnica.com/business/news/2011/10/why-people-stil...

Both Nokia's Symbian phones and Blackberry still have enviable mind and market share when you look at them globally. Reports of the death of either have been greatly exaggerated.

Windows Phone, however, is fast going the way of the Zune. Looks great, and is, in point of actual fact, a nifty platform, but nobody you know has one. Say what you will about Symbian and Blackberry, there are phones out there loaded with those OSes that are selling. Blackberry's profit may be off by 50% for the quarter, but it is still a profit.

Windows Phone needs a flagship Nokia device soon, or it is going to go the way of the Zune and the Kin.

I'm sorry. Though I do personally have no interest in BlackBerry, I must admit my reply was mainly to create a rare instance of a discussion where "couldn't care less" and "could care less" were both used correctly ;)
