BlackBerry refuses to give up, opens "Fact Check” portal

BlackBerry might be hanging on by its threads but that doesn’t mean they won’t be putting up a fight. The company has just launched a new portal they call “BlackBerry Fact Check.” It is designed to counter the “smoke and mirrors marketing tactics” of its competitors and give their users facts. The portal contains good news about BlackBerry products and it encourages loyal BlackBerry users out there to let them know if their competitors are releasing any “work of fiction.” If you are still loyal to the brand, is this still something you’d like to check out?
