Help Is Blackberry Desperate?

[ngomaichi]

Tu vi hang ngay - I read a number of online mobile industry news sites. One of them has a Blackberry ad immediately following every single article. But it is more than a mere ad, it is an infomercial article. I've gotten sucked into reading a few of these, believing I was reading a review before I paid attention to the title and realized it was a sponsored article directly from Blackberry.

I know that they are struggling (xem tu vi) in the market, but their efforts seem absolutely desperate. The latest is an endorsement from a public figure. Now, everyone does that, but Blackberry doesn't cite the any outstanding reasons why that personage uses the device. Very vague and unqualified benefits are cited.

What do you think? Is Blackberry desperate for attention, desperate for sales, desperately gasping for breath and life?

Are Blackberry still making smart-phones? Frankly I thought they had become an IM app and social network company now.

Front page of Blackberry's website. BBM for Android, iPhone and Windows Phone, but NOT Blackberry apparently.

Blackberry China with a BBM for Android download link to Google Play....good luck with that!

They've just released their first Android phone, and the rumours are that there's a second in the pipeline.
