The CEO aka John Chen recently spoke with the ” CBS THIS MORNING ” crew concerning the BlackBerry Classic and the future of the company.
For a company that many had written off and left for dead, BlackBerry continues to innovate and work hard to remain a major player in the mobile industry. At CES 2015 in Las Vegas, Nevada BlackBerry truly showed the world that they are indeed not going anywhere by unveiling multiple new innovations that will truly be RIMarkable in the coming year of 2015.
Here are some key take a ways from yesterday’s CES 2015 session where BlackBerry actually made headlines;
BlackBerry is truly showing it resilience by continued innovation with new products and services. In the words of CEO John Chen, “The Brand is here to stay.”
In honor of the launch of the new BlackBerry Classic, I decided to put together a BlackBerry Classic video trailer. Enjoy!
What is Classic? Well some might define classic as simple as the all new BlackBerry Classic smartphone. The BlackBerry Classic is truly a classy device with a touch of the old school BlackBerry flavor that pretty much everyone loved at one point or another. Some say the Classic should have been launched around the time the BlackBerry Q10 launched and to argue that may have been a good move. Now don’t get me wrong, I love my Q10 and it is my co-daily driver alongside my Passport but the Classic just does something different to me.
Here we are once again with yet another nice BlackBerry device that will truly bridge the gap from the Bold 9900 over to the new BlackBerry Classic. Now there are plenty of people out there who just will remain negative about anything that BlackBerry does no matter what. To those people, you must understand that all phones are not for everybody. I would go off on a tantrum but for what purpose as it would just to feed into the negative buzz that some individuals live to create. I have two words to those individuals who continue to talk down and dirty about BlackBerry….BYE FELICIA! Now if you have no idea what that means just Google it. [Read more…]
