Kramer steps in and abruptly ends the argument by saying, "Now can't you two see that you're in love with each other?", Really makes you think. I'll draw no such parallel between T-Mobile and BlackBerry, although with both companies pulling up the rear in their respective categories, you'd think that maybe they'd be able to find enough in common that they'd try to make it work.

The April 1 date-stamp on BlackBerry's press release aside if this is an elaborate April Fools' joke, it's more sad than funny, BlackBerry head honcho John Chen is quoted as saying the following, Perhaps this sounds like sour grapes, but put yourself in Chen's position. First T-Mo stops selling BlackBerry devices in its stores. Then it sends mailers out to current BlackBerry owners to try to get them to upgrade to the iPhone 5s. Then T-Mo CEO John Legere pokes fun at Chen for not having a Twitter account, suggesting he's on MySpace instead. Now can't you two see that you're in love with each other? No? Neither can we.
