Is Blackberry storming back?

2 points by VB6_Foreverr 15y ago ↗ HN

I'm not really in touch with this market but the impression I had was that iphone and android had taken over the smartphone market. However just lately I've been hearing that the phone all the teens round here want is a blackberry. Anybody else noticing this?

Yeah they're big among teens, because there's a lot of older (cheaper) models out there, and so they can BBM each other. (And yes, that last one is a vicious cycle)

I have a lot of friends who have BBs because they love BBM and it is a huge phone in Latin America - the go to phone for business and status.
