BlackBerry outsmarted me. Amid rumors of a third BB10 device to debut this summer, I chided the obvious potential to damage sales of existing hardware as users waited for a third. Today, BlackBerry showed that yes, there is a third device. However, it won’t be available in the United States or Canada. As those are the […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/blackberry-announces-more-bb10-devices-why-thats-bad/ Thu, 04 Apr 2013 18:30:28 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=18597

It has to be asked. Is the company formerly known as RIM actively trying to fail? One would not think so. The high-end flagship Z10 is highly anticipated and the BlackBerry 10 operating system continues to get solid reviews. Techcitement has yet to try it out here, but one trusted source referred to the new OS as […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/blackberry-producer-makes-not-so-radical-name-change-to-blackberry-releases-bb10-and-z10-specs/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/blackberry-producer-makes-not-so-radical-name-change-to-blackberry-releases-bb10-and-z10-specs/#comments Thu, 31 Jan 2013 17:37:50 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=16116

By altering the name to BlackBerry, the company formerly known as RIM shows greater brand-awareness. The average person on the street doesn’t know what RIM is, but even with the market loss to iPhones and Android devices, BlackBerry is still a household term. While the name change does little to help with the image of BlackBerry […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/blackberry-producer-makes-not-so-radical-name-change-to-blackberry-releases-bb10-and-z10-specs/feed/ 1 https://techcitement.com/hardware/rim-and-the-blackberry-dying-bb10-not-sweet-enough-for-developers/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/rim-and-the-blackberry-dying-bb10-not-sweet-enough-for-developers/#comments Fri, 13 Jul 2012 19:20:33 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=12231

RIM (Research in Motion) is dying. That’s been evident since the release of the iPhone by Apple all the way back in 2007. Instead of immediately going to work on a new platform to compete with the iOS enemy, RIM insisted physical keyboards were the way to go and that touchscreens were a fad. Even […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/rim-and-the-blackberry-dying-bb10-not-sweet-enough-for-developers/feed/ 3 https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/bad-day-for-blackberry-lovers/ https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/bad-day-for-blackberry-lovers/#comments Fri, 30 Mar 2012 14:00:59 +0000 http://techcitement.com/?p=9901

Some people have accused this blog of being a bit unfair to RIM. This could not be further from the truth. I write about the makers of the once-ubiquitous Blackberry because I want to see them return to greatness, and I hate seeing them make obvious missteps. Having sat through the death of Palm, I […]]]> https://techcitement.com/hardware/tablet/bad-day-for-blackberry-lovers/feed/ 1
