Wallflower of a day for new BlackBerry




According to the NY Post shares of smartphone maker BlackBerry got slammed yesterday — and it was as though investors knew what was happening inside AT&T’s Rockefeller Center store.

In fact, there weren’t even signs heralding its arrival at the store.  No, the new BlackBerry — its touchscreen redesign saddled with the pressure of saving the company — sat lonely in a nondescript corner among a row of rivals.

By comparison, the iPhone 5 had its own wing with a giant poster and two demo devices. Not that Apple’s phone needs the help….
