New BlackBerry, You Guys!

Posted by on Wed, Jan 30, 2013 at 11:25 AM

RIM, which is rebranding itself as BlackBerry, has announced a new BlackBerry phone, the z10. The reviews are kind of okay, but basically nothing special. And BlackBerry has named Alicia Keys as their "new Global Creative Director," even though Gizmodo reports that Keys tweets from her iPhone.

I don't know how you're going to get any work done now that your world has been rocked like this.

Believe it or not, how the BB10 (or z10) does has a direct impact on the GDP of Canada.

Because, unlike here, their corporations pay taxes.

At least the "Z" part is accurate.

You missed the best part... it has its own OS.

Like Samsung with Tizen, everyone is getting their own OS.

But that was Linus' dream...a personal operating system.

Tell Goldy he'll need to buy BBRY not RIMM.
