I can’t believe what I’m seeing with my two naked eyes, I can’t believe that it will happen so soon. Despite the facts that I find it difficult to hide my unconditional affection for this brand; despite the facts that when other brands were nowhere to be found, she was still there for me.
Back then in the days when ordinary Chincophones use to have Antenna and can easily connect to NTA, DSTV, Lagos state Television…Then Blackberry was a premium device.
…But now, ordinary WhatsApp has just determined the fate of Blackberry devices.
WhatsApp had earlier announced that they will end supports for Blackberry come 31stDecember 2016; but disaster stroke 3 days ago when WhatsApp roll-out aching reminder, reminding users that they’ll end supports come ending of the year.
Like play like play, an update was released and I updated my old Blackberry 10 device; only to discover that WhatsApp stopped working. Kept re-installing. I went to Blackberry store and discover that a lot of people who installed that updates have one complain or the other.
Even though Blackberry 10 devices do accept android application, meaning that you can install WhatsApp apk on your BB 10 but it doesn’t work like normal WhatsApp on Blackberry, doesn’t display notification integrated via the hub. It is just like using 2go on Nokia 3310.
Now I give up on Blackberry. I can categorically say that no more rising for Blackberry 10 devices.
Those of you still using it, find a nearby computer market and sell it. The tech visionaries didn’t see Blackberry featuring in the future.
