Geeks Have Landed: RIM have just officially revealed the Blackberry Z10, the first official phone to run the company’s new BB10 operating system. As the first device to run the new OS, RIM have made a pretty impressive device to make sure it runs smoothly, giving customers an experience to remember.
It is sad that BlackBerry is struggling to stay alive and it looks like the ailing Canadian company could officially kill the BlackBerry brand in 2017. Of course, it could still have a tiny thread of existence with its Android range of smartphones that’s if they think its financially wise and technically viable.
It looks like it is game over for BlackBerry 10.
Perhaps, if BlackBerry had pushed BB10 same year when Android came out or even a year later, things could have been a little different. They where comfortable with the old and dated OS 6, shame.
Yes now the time for blackberry ends and they are lost behind android. They might finish BB in 2016 only but to stay alive in this race they must need to do a miracle and that will not be easy for them take people through from android.
I already have two blackberry phones lying in my drawer. Don't know if I will ever use them again after using iPhone.
I do'nt use an iphone but i too had one blackberry phone in my house but now where it is thrown no one knows. I might now try to find it. I think that the time for bb has now gone.
BB needs to do something extraordinary to attract its customers again atleast in the business class category.
Yes they need to but that is not easy for them as android and apple has fixed their foot in the smartphone market.
How times change. I remember an era when people bragged about having a Blackberry. My friends tried to get one even if just a used older model. It was symbol of prestige and class. And now look at it today. Touchscreen smartphones and OS killed the past giants of the smartphone industry.
I still remember an advertisement of blackberry that amazed people out here. My bigger brother argued my dad many time for that bb but my father did'nt agreed with him. And its right its just about time.
I always keep my old phones as back ups in case something happens to my main phone.
BlackBerry 0S 10 future is no longer certain, the Canadian OEM recently announced the layoff of additional 200 staff; 125 from its HQ in Waterloo, Ontario and 75 in Sunrise, Florida.
Like Nokia, they couldn't see beyond their Nose. I really loved the Z30 and it's a shame BlackBerry is now a shadow of itself. :(
Get a simple BlackBerry in your hand, remove the QWERTY keyboard actually throw all the buttons away, make it a little bigger, make it a little stronger, make it slightly slimmer, choose a larger screen and better resolution and in the end you get a Z10.
Meh, quite disappointed. Android/iPhone much?
Too Little Too Late...
