It’s been years since I last tried a BlackBerry (BBRY) Device on a full time basis. I had a sales guy that wanted one, then washed out days later. I decided rather than just let the device go to waste, I needed a second device. Besides, he got a very cool phone number with a double zero at the end of it. Bottom line, I got this device with a glass screen where the entire screen would click when you used it (BlackBerry Storm 9500). It was horrible beyond belief. I am sure that is what washed out that sales person. Who could sell with such a device? I quickly swapped it out for an Android, then later an iPhone 6. That’s what everybody else did.
Like everyone else, I have heard of all of these great devices that BBRY has come up with. What’s the latest one? It’s the Passport! I tried one out that one of my vendors stuck a sales guy with. It totally sucked.
Should BBRY give up and just close the door to new devices?
Let’s find out what the Buzz says:

Possibly a bit off target, but interesting:
@wsj Probably not good for $BBRY. I can say that now being back on sacred US soil.
