Noticed that earlier tonight, down 20% in after hours trading. Netflix is taking a beating too. I might pick it up though. They are losing some customers here, but about to expand to 43 more countries.

What a shock. Shitty phones and no apps means no lower profits.

lol shitty phones? I don't know about that... I currently have a Mytouch3G.. I know, old.. but I liked my curve.. and I actually miss it.

I rarely use apps and I love the keys on the bb, and music on it is amazing..

If you rarely use apps and like the keyboard then the BB will suffice. However, most new phones are going with larger touch screens and a large catalog of either android apps or iOS apps. If I didn't use apps I wouldn't even bother with a smart phone, tbh. If you don't have apps, you don't have much of a market. Ask WebOS.

Yeah, apps are terrible on BB. Also, the touch screen keyboard on the storm 2 is horrendous. And maybe it's just my phone, but my BB also has the worst on-the-fly spellcheck in history.

Blackberry sucks. I've had to have 4 replaced in 2 years because they just lock up and I don't get emails until I realize it's locked up, so I have to remove the battery and reset the damn things.

I would rather have an Iphone, much cooler and the apps are actually usable.
