Genuine question.

I know they were the scrappy startup doing different cool things. But, what are the most major innovative things that they introduced, improved or just implemented that either revolutionized, improved or spurred change?

I am aware of the possibility of both fanboys and haters just duking it out below. But there's always that one guy who has a fkn well-formatted paragraph of gold. I await that guy.

I'll argue that the blackberry was just a better implementation of the already existing PDA exactly like the iPhone was just a better implementation of already existing touch-screen device, but beyond that I just don't feel like taking time to repeat/clarify points I've already made or responding to "pretty sure"s. So I'll just suggest we agree to disagree on this particular topic and wish you a merry Christmas ๐ŸŽ…

Lol when you start mocking someone you show who you actually are. Speaks louder than anything you actually say.

[โ€“] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I'm absolutely not mocking you.

You're basing some of your arguments on things you don't seem to actually know, and using incorrect interpretations of my words as basis for some of your counter-points. I've noticed a pattern in people who formulate and present arguments/points similar to the way you do, and they tend to be difficult to hold civil discussions with, so I chose to end our discussion.

I'm sorry if that comes off as harsh or rude, but it's my honest reason for ending our discussion. There's truly no malice or mockery behind my words

Anyway, this is my last message to you. And since you seem to have read my previous message as a passive aggressive mockery, I really do genuinely hope you have a great holiday season.

You were absolutely mocking. 100%. And you continue! (with even more apparent attacks). Anyway when you mock people I have no desire to converse with you. Cheers.
