So no quoting President Trump?

From CNN:

Trump continued by discarding his own administration's advice to stay home if you're feeling sick: "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better, and then when you do have a death, like you've had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York." No deaths have been reported in New York.

"You know," Trump said, "all of a sudden it seems like 3 or 4%, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1%. But again, they don't know about the easy cases because the easy cases don't go to the hospital. They don't report to doctors or the hospital in many cases. So I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1%." 

to be fair:

too bad this company will dry up by the end of 2020 . so much doom, so little gloom.

120hz would be nice

to my knowledge, the BB phone does have multi-language KB and OS to match up.  you can buy the unit in the respected region and OS came from the local carrier with corrected version (usually 3 to 5 month late than the NA OS release).  I still has Arabic/English dual KB for BBOS7.  However, I only uploaded english OS to save space.  To say BB was not world phone is not accurate.  IMHO.  

That’s like saying a VW is a pickup truck with a built in hard cover. Look when I fold the back seats down I have a flat load bed. I can put bags of cement back there...

Blackberries came with various localised keyboard layouts internationally, just like every other computing device. 

So I would have to have four blackberries then? So that I could have the buttons that match the languages I use. Again, I do not see a world phone in one that has one language printed on the keyboard. I do not doubt they had other languages printed after the English ones were out, I am talking about using another language with the device with PHYSICAL keys that had ONE language printed on it (maybe two?). All my Czech friends had English keyboards because ... no Czech keyboard. The OS supported that language, but not the physical keyboard. So to my estimation, not a real world phone. 

i never understood how blackberry was a global phone, i remember a heated discussion with my room-mate who really liked his blackberry. it seemed silly to say world phone when it came with an English keyboard. If i wanted to type in hebrew i would have had to remember the keyboard layout, same with korean and norwegian. As Jobs said, you cannot change the keys once these things are shipped. when the iphone update gave you more than one keyboard i think it became a global phone.
