Why the Hate?

Lets face it, blackberrys have been taking a lot of criticism lately. Just bring up the topic "Team iPhone vs Team Blackberry" in almost any public location and you're sure to start a debate. Some people are actually against both of these phones and are "Team Android" for example. With that being said, I believe that from what I hear and see, Blackberrys receive the most negative feedback of almost all the smartphones currently on the market. The problem is, that most of the people I see complaining about there Blackberrys either have very old models, or simply don't take care of there phone. Of course old or damaged phones will seem inferior to newer models. Blackberry's may not have the speed of Android phones or the games that iPhones posses, but they have BBM and several other features exclusive to them. They aren't necessarily the best selling phones out there, but why the hate?
