Why normies killed BlackBerry?

the physical keyboard started to become a hindrance and Apple was better at marketing. Then android came out and provided a cheap option instead of having to go iphone and the rest was history. Black berry was popular as fuck for awhile but they flushed it all down the tube. Just like how Sony flushed its portable music player empire down the tube all because instead of making a regular mp3 player they had to make some idiotic mp3 player that uses fucking minidiscs.

>Why normies killed BlackBerry?
RIM's incompetent management kill the Black Berry...

i have a physicist friend who has a blackberry in 2019

Well, I am bio-physicist and still have passport.

I went back to my keyone after using an iphone8 plus at work after 6 months. Works perfectly fine

I had the bold, passport, classic and now the key2 which I've just accidentally ran over with my Jeep. It still works but the camera is fucked. I think I'll get another key2.

Android running blackberry hub is still pretty good. I don't notice that much difference from bb10, just better apps and compatibility.

Keyboard is pretty much the same on the key2 as on the passport, feels really nice. Android pay is something that BB10 could never have and it's really easy with the fingerprint space bar.

No, portrait is better to hold onehanded, and normiedevices are 16:9 or 22:9 only because of videos.
That's true, I only meant going square like passport/key2 or other BB Devices is better than having side qwerty with 16:9 screen. I would rather have 3:2 in portrait. (Or 4:3 or 16:10 probably too)

i thought you could run android apps on the later versions?

Blackberry killed blackberry. They kept clinging on to a delusion that they were a premium brand, but they only sold low end, or at best mid tier hardware.
BB10 was amazing, but the lack of support, and shit hardware (spec wise, and quality wise) at premium pricing made it hard for anyone to justify buying a bb10 device.

>Android pay is something that BB10 could never have
BB10 had Blackberry Wallet, BlackBerry simply dropped support when they switched to Android
