blackberry 10

Though most of what you said makes great sense, I strongly disagree with your BB11 comment. What you see now is what you get!

It took them over 2 years to "bake" an already "Pillsbury" off the shelf ready made OS. They botched the hell out of its implementation in PB and took a further 2 years to prepare it for a smaller size hardware. That is shameful! BB OS7 was a joke, delayed, and was not backward compliant with half their hardware effectively severing a massive chunk of their product line and limiting the company's fortunes in the interim to BBOS7 uncompetitive phones! That was effectively a 3+ year fumble!

With all their talk of Porche (vertical integration) nothing came of it, except a car demo and an insanely priced dressed up Bold.

Yes we are here today and viewing a "me too" product, but the path to get here inspires zero confidence they are capable of a backward compliant upgrade! FFS there is no release date or info on a PB update of the F'n baseline OS (QNX)!!!!!!! No one can even in the tech industry is even allowed to fiddle with what should have been the easiest phone in their roster to roll out, the Q10!!!!!

This is one of the worst cobbled launches in the industry! Dates are all over the place! I wouldn't be surpirsed if there was a recall or serious failures of the device, based on my experience with BB myself, going through 2 white screens of death!

Why exactly would anyone believe they could launch a BB11 any faster or better than their BB10 launch or Apple or the merciless Android progress and constant updates?!?!

I mean come on, the Android emulation on the BB10 OS is Android 2.3!!!!!!!!!!

Hey anyone remember that the PB update to OS 2 wiped the entire device clean?!?! Yeah, real confidence inspiring!!!! And what did the latest update of the PB provide...sms messaging while bridged, thus draining 2 batteries at once! And having 2 stupid devices beaping and chirping away like a nagging boss.

Do you really believe BB10 will achieve vertical integration with your car, tablet, laptop or what ever inside of 5 years, especially when Heins has spoken on the record of stating something like that would take 3 to 5 years?

Have you been to the Apple store? Forget Apps for a moment, have you seen the number of peripherals for their phone? Baby monitors, remote control helicopters, etc?

BB10 is it.....for a looooooooong time. They have NOTHING in reserve. BB is that one white sprinter at the beginning of a marathon with nothing in the tank for the last 20kms. Oh and they sprinted right into 3rd/4th!

Every time he posts I'm reminded of that girl in high school who was ****ed by the captain of the football team only to be dumped by him the next day.

"You stay away girlfriend, he's a no good dog!" "Let me tell you, he gotta small dick too." "He doesn't even use condoms." "At least he could have put a blanket on the grass before taking off my panties." "I'd never have sex with him again even if he came crawling back."

Bwahahahahaha.. so true!

I find it utterly hilarious that android and especially iphone users get actually upset that people like their Blackberry's.. I never understood.. I like my blackberry because I like it.. I don't care what anyone else uses.. but for some reason that feeling is not mutual.. as an iphone user.. if anyone choose to use something else it visibly offends them and they feel they must speak out against it even though nobody asked them.. I have never in my life gone to troll and iphone thread.. in fact if a thread says in the title it's about iphone I don't even open it.. I just don't care.. yet for some reason if it says blackberry they have an urge to get in here and shout from the roof tops that because they don't like it, it isn't good lol.


EDIT: I just figured it out.. iphone users are the Harley riders of cell phones LOL

I make myself out to be super poor so they don't think I can even support anyways. I probably have a kid or two out there. Maybe I should have a second identity that I date with so if they try to hunt me down they are just going after an alias.

The Verge is usually pretty reliable, here's their review; http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/30/3929760/blackberry-z10-review

Gotta say, doesn't look too promising for BB, which is a shame

Remember... when the iPhone was launched in 2007, many if not all the tech reviewers complained a lot about it too. Same stupid story... lack of features, lousy battery, unfinished software, no cut and paste, etc.

Here you go :

It's normal human nature to be critical of something you are not familiar with, or is entirely new to you as is the case with the current tech reviewers who have been using iPhones and Androids for years. Suddenly a new OS throws them off, because they are unfamiliar with it.

However, you will note, that many of these same reviewers, after spending more time with the new BB, admit, that its a pretty slick system overall.

If you watched the RIM launch demo, the guy demoing the unit was blazing fast with the OS swiping and moving with efficiency. Faster and more efficient than anybody could be using a rivals OS. This is the point, he was obviously familiar with how to get the best out of the BB OS.

The issues many are complaining about are mostly minor software issues. Easy peasy for RIM to rewrite and set up for updates. This is what Android and iOS do isn't it?

The Z10 is being compared to the 3rd and 4th generation of Galaxy Phones, and the 5 or 6th generation of iPhone. Those companies have had a lot of time to polish their hardware and software.

For a first generation new OS and a brand new device from the ground up, I'd say RIM did one hell of a job with Z10.

Its not perfect, and if the market adopts and gives RIM more time, we can be sure it will mature further into a very competitive OS.

As we all know, when Apple launched the iPhone, the market was quite young. RIM has a much bigger battle to fight here against the established players. They are well aware of this, and if they can keep up with the blinding pace of tech development, they should stay relevant.

The real question is, is it 'good' enough to solidify that 3rd spot on the smartphone hierarchy behind Apple and Google?

We'll know when sales numbers get released next quarter, until then, we can just sit and wait. I know a few people that are buying them to check them out.

As long as we keep seeing stuff like this, BB should stay relevant

Again?? whats your prediction? Awala gave it 6 months in an earlier post.

All the pundits said RIM would be bankrupt in 2008, then 9, then 10, then 11 and then they wouldn't have enough to launch in 12.

Die RIM, dieeeeeeeeee!
 
It looks like a solid product, I think that it is going to take third spot easily and put some serious pressure on Apple and Google.

They had a celebrity there and were giving away playbooks to the first 250 people.

A lot of people I know ordered/per-ordered their devices. No lineups, just waiting to go pick them up/have them delivered.
