Blackberry boss - don't underestimate us
Quote:
The last time I met a Blackberry boss it ended rather badly. Eighteen months ago Mike Lazaridis, then co-CEO of RIM, took exception to a question and terminated our encounter. So I was very grateful that Thorsten Heins, now in sole charge, agreed to meet me this week and give me so much of his time.

Thorsten is a straight talking guy who has his head screwed on straight, and who's been working hard at streamlining RIM and it's products.

Given my experience so far with BlackBerry 10 devices, would I buy one once they're released? Definitely - in fact, it'll be a BlackBerry 10 device that replaces my current device which is now out of contract.

How rare an encounter! How rare to find competence in change... I'm a hermit, how do I know this is rare... Shall we take a look at the condition of our world? ":O}

I hope he finds safe harbor in such a world...

Well, I've been very impressed with him, that's for sure!
