Ohhhhh, man. That's got to hurt, Blackberry...
This was probably the only faulty one in a batch of many, and a reviewer for the New York Magazine happens to get it...
Definitely didn't help...

I'm not a huge fan of BlackBerry, but any journalist that describes something as "a piece of crap" loses a lot of credibility in my view.

No surprise here.

Old tech with measly 1800mah battery.

Gonna go down in flames

if you are a type of person resist change then no one is forcing you.. i think mr. Roose is entitled on his opinion but his ways of writing is too pathetic, too much one sided the BB's advantage are shortly comprise in a word or phrase. as a journalist you have the power of influencing other people's mind. so as much as possible you should give an honest and as much as possible neutral opinion and not a one sided one its a shame that NY mag is paying a writer writes crap and empty article..

@phonearena, Nope! Asking for another review unit is not the right thing to do. If I bought one and the phone literally died after four days, I would be really pissed and angry too. I spent hundreds of dollars on it and I expect it to be functional from day 1 and not give me any HEADACHE! Going to a customer support/service centers is a waste of time that could've been prevented if the phone underwent a rigid quality test. I know that all manufacturers (even Apple) has phones that are faulty but this is different because Blackberry is company asking for a second chance in the phone market. There is little room for errors

He is just a single person. There are better reviewers out there. The geeks who really read each specs. Go and try the product yourself.

This is a delimma. I agree that all phones can have faulty, bad units. I also agree BB cant afford for this to be happening right now.

As long as its not wide spread....they will be fine.

Alot of us feel certain ways about phones, TV's, etc based on bad experiences. I woulda asked for a replacement tho, and tried again.

google or microsoft will end up buying blackberry once it goes bankrupt. Watch the share price (NASDAQ:BBRY) today for a good laugh.

That's too bad. I was hoping bb could improve their expiry date past 3-4 months.

Hey Mr. Roose,

We now see what kind of reviewer you are. By far the worst reviewer ever. Apple makes a phone that you have to hold a certain way for it to work? Where is the quality in that. You did not even ask Blackberry for a replacement unit. You are a piece of crap. Will never look at that publication again.

WHY do they let people review phones, if they don't have any idea what they're talking about? :/
Weird stuff.

Nice... I just think that they should come out of the gate with their best phone.. If this is their best phone then they are in trouble

Companies like RIM(blackberry) & Nokia are trying hard to get back in the game which might result in some really cool innovation. I think we should give them a chance(as they were great before & not were the dumbest student of the class) like we do for a failing student. And again the BB10 OS looks futuristic as some part of any process can be done by different processor in a network. It should work brilliantly in a couple of years from now.

iNewYork magazine. what a bunch of dumb a$$ journalism they are. BB haven't even been release yet still those journalist talking trash bout BB. Theres still lots of BB owners that wants the BB 10 to release so don't judge a phone when it's not release.
