went from iphone > BB 9000 > Android > iphone > BB 9900 and i think ill stay.
Ive jail-broken those iphones, rooted the droid, but in the end, i still wasn't satisfied. Plus I've come to realize that while apps n 'hacking' is cool and all, it still didn't serve me functionality speaking. I faced the facts, I text wayyyy more then I talk, plus I drive rather then taking public transportation (no need to play touch screen games etc).
In the end, I think people got off the BB bandwagon because their devices started getting bogged down hence people complaining it was slow.

It's the Jones' Effect, people! These are the same people who will jump onto the next product that gets heavy mass-marketing and affords them bragging rights for social-validation purposes. I wonder which company will be next to get thier brand to such a level... hmmm...

Microsoft reportedly planning to open a retail store in Toronto by the end of 2012
By Ian Hardy on February 10, 2012 at 1:17pm in Mobile News
Microsoft is apparently planning to open a “Microsoft Store” in Toronto soon. New reports from The Verge have Microsoft entering our fine land for the first time, directly going to compete with Apple’s 22 retail locations. The store will be located somewhere in Toronto – could be in the Eaton Centre or Yorkdale Mall – with timing of a grand opening set to happen before the holiday period.
As to what the Microsoft Store will sell – all Microsoft products. So software, keyboards, mice, Xbox 360 and Windows Phone handsets. Taking a look at the Microsoft Store site it shows that there are currently 16 locations across the United States, but Kevin Turner, Microsoft’s COO, stated last year that they plan to open 75 new Microsoft Stores within the next 3-years.

Re: The tide shifting with Blackberry users going over to iPhones....

I once saw a senior executive say in an email "I love my new iphone. I miss typing with the Blackberry keyboard, but I'll get used to it". Sure sure, say whatever makes you feel better about your decision to have a less-than-a-blackberry typing experience.
I felt it was an example of mass marketing telling people what they "need".
I look forward to the new Blackberry OS10. Based on my experience with the excellent Playbook OS, it should have the coolness, fluidity, horsepower and enough apps to protect its _EXISTING_ customer base (me included), which is what will help it to grow.
