Hi Steve, Believe it or not, ars doesn't send much traffic here - besides, I run a strict comment moderation policy. I don't doubt that some of the later reviews are people merely copying and pasting for fun. The original reviews all follow the same pattern of throwaway G+ accounts which show clear signs of having been used by a "pay for review" service. You can read all my thoughts on BlackBerry if you want to assess whether I've been fair to them over the years. I'm pleased BlackBerry are having a last hurrah / dead-cat-bounce with BBM. I don't think it will save the company. If they're smart they'll concentrate on the developing markets where they're popular. If the board doesn't think that's fashionable enough, they'll become a patent company - which would be sad. I have not accused BlackBerry of directly paying for these fake reviews - I consider it extremely unlikely that they would. All the best, Terence
