Still the boss.

The story of BlackBerry is the great humbling of our time. One insider succinctly explained the company's downfall in an interview with the The Globe and Mail like this"the problem wasn’t that we stopped listening to customers, we believed we knew better what customers needed long term than they did." It's the story of a company that once had a 20% share of the global smartphone market and now can't even reach 1%.

But for a few of us, BB never left our pockets. We stayed strong through the mistakes (oh god, they were horrendous), we kept our Bolds until the buttons fell off, we slid the Torch's screen up to reveal the awkward keyboard, some even tried typing on a touchscreen *shudder*.

The fanboys don't need to be told why BlackBerry is still worth checking out, we stayed loyal to the last. For the rest of you haters, with your iMobiles and Scamsungshere is why you shouldn't walk past that BB stand, here is why you should give the underdog some love, here is the case for Blackberry.
