So,

If we upgrade an existing BlackBerry user to a new (BES 10) phone, it costs 99 cents for the device. If we upgrade them to a 'new' older (BES5)Bold, it costs 50 bucks.

That's nuts. But BES10 is "the suck", because none of the apps that our users would use has a version that works on BES10. There are only Android and IOS.(not counting "side loading Android")

Our carrier folks say demand is higher for pre-BES10 devices than the newer ones.

I'm gonna swap my BlackBerry with either an android or iPhone before the end of the year... I want to leave BlackBerry while it's still around, it'll be easier to mourn if I have been with a new device for awhile when I derezz the BESes...

Who?

The crack isn't any good anymore?

I did that about 4-6 months ago or so.

BB was fun while it lasted (especially with HQ local to me) but once O/S10 came out everybody with older devices pretty much got told upgrade or F.O.

So I did.....fracked off straight to an iPhone and now that I am used to it REALLY like it (even though I still miss the bridge capability for tablet texting)
