    The more I watch these fall of big companies, the more I realize how these big companies fail:
    1. Ego
    2. Underestimating competition
    3. Not accepting change

      Yep. You start seeing the pattern and those three things you've listed are typically the main reasons.
      Occasionally you see a video that shows how bad timing and some issues the company couldn't control were the reasons the company fell but more times than not, the reasons are comprised of the big three you had listed.

I can do anything I could do on a phone, but better and easier with unlimited customization. I just need a cheap phone for gps sometimes that's about it, and stay connected with my family. I don't have any friends so I don't need to worry about that.

      Actually, all OEMs are doing the same at this point, not just Apple. There hasn't been much in the way of ground breaking innovation in the past 3-5 years except for Apple's Face ID and under the screen Touch ID on Android phones. Every year we get a better camera and a better processor, but most everything else is software innovation. Folding phones look promising, but the technology isn't there yet. Not to mention that they're priced far too high for most people to buy.

I'm one of the brave that switched from android and Apple to BB10, and was happy with the choice. Now I wouldn't mind if they came up with a dual-booting phone that would allow me to shut off android entirely and only use BB10 in peace and privacy, and maybe fire up android once in a while for some obscure app....or maybe just upgrade the existing Amazon Android runtime in the existing BB10 would be sufficient as long as the hardware was a little newer.

      the_boon honestly I think the majority of people don’t feel a need constant innovation when our phones are now these little super computers in our pockets. I, and many other people I’m sure, enjoy the simplicity and pretty streamlined design of an iPhone. You always know what you’re going to get, and the upgraded cameras and whatnot are enough for the every day consumer like me. I can’t think of any crazy features I would like that I don’t already have, apart from maybe getting the headphone jack back lol. Until another company comes out with something that really changes the game, I think iPhones will stay on top. I haven’t heard of features from competitors such as androids that I’m just dying to have or that the iPhone doesn’t already have- and they don’t seem nearly as streamlined, simple, and familiar compared to the iPhone. I wish people who bagged iPhone for a lack of innovation would speak up more about what exactly they want to see and where improvements could be made.

I was there with my S1 and people was making fun out of me and calling me crazy because i didn't bought a BlackBerry. They didnt even know what the hell was. The next day after buying it my friends and others people at my school were like:
    "WOOOW WTF! Wheres the keyboard?. WHAT?! The keyboard is on the screen? IS TOUCH?!. WHAT?!?! Its not like push touch is actually just touch!. You also got a app market than actually work?!. WHAT?! You can do all this stuff in this tiny phone?. The screen is bigger?! The quality of the screen is much better?!. WTF IS THIS?!"
    The 1st few days they were laughing not stop, but everyone was changing they mind after every time i left them to "explore" the potential of the phone. BBM was a HUGE THING, but of course i didn't have that. I was "yoo. You got Whatsapp?". Everyone was like ??? whats that? I was there explaining what was Whatsapp. I basically push an whole school out of Blackberry. In the next few months everyone was using Whatsapp, everyone was buying touch screen phones. Everyone at my class was coming at me with the "Dude...I loved your phone so much i just bought one" By next year everyone was rocking touch screen. By 2012 i was rocking the Google Nexus 4

    I must say, I used to love my BlackBerry's keyboard, very ergonomic. I wish all phones had that! Another contributing factor to BB's demise was the major data outage of 2011.

      Paola Energya I am surprised that nobody mentioned how they did away with the “Day at a Glance” feature where you could see your two latest emails and next two appointments on the lock screen. When they got rid of that I switched to Apple. Been using an iPhone ever since. Still miss the BB though.

    One big problem I saw was when they released the Blackberry Classic, familiar design, gave customers what they wanted and all but one big area they failed was apps, they could not get major apps like Twitter, snapchat and even some banking apps to support the platform fully and since iPhone and android was already well known and supportive of all the apps a business pro could ever want, it didn't give fans much reason to stay other than they keyboard and messenger and by then a lot of BB users were saw the benefits of the iPhone. I worked at a phone store during this time and always heard BB complaints.

    They were pretty good phones, I had a couple and they were something different from what was out to purchase at the time.

    I got my BlackBerry when I was 16, it was the best thing that ever happened to me at that point.

    Got a Blackberry Pearl in '07. That phone was the shit. I still miss the feel of it in my hand. I was legit sad when I had to give it up.
