content: Dave walks around Cebit Australia 2014 at Homebush Bay in Sydney.Show highlights footage here:If you don't like shaky hand held walking footage, motion blur, or camera image stabilisation, don't watch it, no complaints. I do not have a steadycam, and I don't want advice on a steadycam, and I don't care how much you can't watch it. Thanks.

content: BB dead? Not here, they own the bottom end of the market, or at least pretty much all the cheap PAYG phones are blackberry. Hard to get a low end Nokia or Samsung new unless you are willing to enter into a 24 month contract. last time I went into the Vodacom shop ( now remodelled) cheapest non contract phone was $200. If I want a cheap phone i will go to CNA or Makro and buy one and toss the SIM card away, I am not interested in being a CellC subscriber. New Crackberry is around $100, and you often see them sold as a side offer on another phone. There is also a thriving repair business, as these phones are used so much that keyboard repair is common.

content: My Blackberry is awesome. And it's my hot spot for my Android tablet when wifi is not available. It manages all of my 10 email accounts and it's secure as it can be. No glitches, slowdowns nothing, just like a phone should beI think is because they are so durable that they don't sell more. I would love one of their new ones, but mine has been doing great for many years.
