Despite a recent infusion of cash and a new interim CEO, BlackBerry continues to combat a seemingly endless barrage of bad news and the loss of loyalty among longtime BlackBerry customers.
The latest former BlackBerry-backer to back away from the Canadian smartphone maker is Pfizer.
One of the world’s largest pharmaceutical companies has "told BlackBerry users to switch to an iPhone or Android handset when their wireless contract next permits an upgrade." According to AllThingsD, Pfizer cites BlackBerry’s “volatile state” as the reason for this encouragement.
“We simply recommended to colleagues who have BlackBerry's that they use their BlackBerry devices and … migrate to a new device at the normal contract expiration,” a representative for Pfizer tells AllThingsD.
Although it isn't known how many BlackBerry devices are used by Pfizer employees, the employees 90,000 people.
