Alicia Keys' Blackberry Blunder


Days before Alicia Keys was named new Creative Director for Blackberry, she was still Tweeting from her iPhone and posting pictures on Instagram, which doesn't currently have an app for Blackberry.

Oopsy...

The embarrassing faux pas was picked up by so many tech websites Alicia's spokesperson was forced to address the issue. 
'“The Internet is buzzing with speculation as to the exact time Alicia Keys ‘broke up’ with her previous smart phone. After a transitional period, she’s officially an exclusive BlackBerry 10 user today.”

Celebrities (always) endorse shit they don't actually use or give af about! This not new or news worthy!

Like Kartashians endorsing quick trim but they ALL know they DONT USE THAT SHIT!

She was probably waiting for BB10.

Research In Motion are doomed anyway.

I have a Blackberry and let me just say: I will NEVER purchase another one again. I don't care if they had the Obamas endorsing their bullshit-ass products, their phones are outdated, they lack APPS and overall innovation.

oh well, safe to say she's not all that interested in the product for which she was chosen as creative director, whatever that is. just the money and prestige. she hadn't even begun the job and already there's damage control. she should have shown some forward thinking and leadership, and switched to BB already.

note to alicia: please don't say anything about blackberry being "on fire."

This is news, WHY?

@ Ms. Lee, allegedly part of No Keys responsibilities as "Global Creative Director" include developing apps *side eye*.

Blackberry? The Blackberry still exists?

They picked the wrong spokesperson.



Blackberry is going to be known as the phone for homewreckers.

Ms. Lee said...

@12:18, BlackBerry and Research In Motion may as well bow out gracefully. Alicia will not increase their sales and WHY was she even picked in the first place? RIM just can't seem to accept that their time has come and gone. There so many iPhones and Androids on the market that are vibrant in color, speed, apps, browser capabilities, other functions and overall cosmetic appeal. I have an upgrade with Verizon, so I'll be either getting Apple or Android. I just can't decide yet. Any suggestions?

Ms. Lee said...

There are so many*

"ATTENTION LOSERS'
This Is Not A News Site!!!!!!!!
IT's A Gotdamn Gossip BLOG
The point of it is to update the nosy public on celebrity sh*t
the point is not to provide you with NEWS WORTHY topics
the point is CELEBRITY TOPICS
no matter how petty they may be "TO YOU" they may be interesting to people who expect to come here to read about CELEBRITIES not DEEP NEWS WORTHY topics
and everything posted on blogs isn't even in the "NEWS" some sh*t is gossip obtained through social circles
some sh*t is just "in-the-know" gossip
Who the F*ck is here exclusively looking for important NEWS???????????

SMH at people who just don't get what a gossip blog is.

People, don't sleep on Blackberry. They have completely revamped thier phone. The 10z is sleek, sexy and has a bigger screen than iPhone and most droids. The company is no longer called RIM. They officially changed the name to Blackberry. Their OS is significantly faster than both Droid and iPhone, it also has a clearer retina display than the aforementioned.

I thought it was over for them until I did my research, I think they have a chance. There are still a lot of people who are devout Blackberry users. Also a lot of Droid users don't like the OS, so they can steal those customers. Apple is already shaking in thier boots which is why they are working on a "cheaper" iPhone, they want to saturate the market and prevent any potential converts.

I say this all typing from an iPhone, however if Apple fails to wow me with thier iPhone 7 then I'll wait into the second or third generation Blackberry 10z, that give them time to fix thier kinks and upgrade their map to 3D.

Blackberry deserves to look like fools for hiring this demoness.Deceit is her strongest trait.

Anonymous said...

@5:24 I have to agree, people coming on here talking 'bout "Why is this news?!" All while in the comment sections typing shit. If you want real news takes your judgemental ass to BBC, CNN OR MSNBC blogs. You won't 'cause you can't understanding the big words without a dictionary. Just break your fingers so you can shut the fuck up.

LOL What's wrong with Blackberry?

I personally love QWERTY phones. I LOATHE touch phones, touch pads, touch-anything. I've never own an iphone, ipod, ipad or any other iProduct.

Anyone else knows of a good QWERTY phone? I'm thinking about getting a Nokia Asha 302.

I don't get it. If Blackberry doesn't have an Instagram app, then what does one expect?

^ Dude, RWS is Hate Central. Here they expect Alicia, or any other celebrity, to do whatever they're not doing and to not do whatever they are. #cannotwin

@1:48 PM How would you know? Why do you care about the whereabouts of Blue Ivy? One would assume a one year old is with their parents or in the hands of a responsible guardian or family member? Where your baby? Are you a good mama and\or would you make a good mama?

Her hair looks like a woman's bush. Get back on your hair game Alicia!! Swizz will cheat on you with the next heifer with a nice weave

Who cares how many days before she tweeted with the iPhone, she hadn't took the job yet so she was free to tweet all she wanted and with whatever device she wanted. Much ado about nothing.
