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.”

    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 I don't care if they had the Obamas endorsing their bullshit-ass products, their phones are outdated, they lack APPS and overall innovation.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."

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

    They picked the wrong spokesperson.

    @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?

    "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???????????

    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.

    @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.

    @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?

    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.
