BlackBerry CEO John Chen Responds to T-Mobile’s Campaign Encouraging BlackBerry Users to Switch to iPhone

This has turned into a controversy generating lots of coverage — just look at it all. But should anyone be surprised? BlackBerry is hemorrhaging users, their bet-the-company next-generation OS is a complete flop, and the company is heading toward bankruptcy. T-Mobile is thinking, “Hey, if these customers are going to switch, let’s make sure they switch to another phone but stick with us as their carrier.”

It sucks to be BlackBerry, but T-Mobile didn’t do anything “outrageous”.
