Receiving one at the Toronto Jam on Thursday

**the_doughboy** · 06-14-2012, 06:15 PM

I just got confirmation that I'm getting one next week. I've done some simple app building for my work using the Java tools a while ago on first generation curves but nothing lately.

Does the phone come with the tools as well, or at least info on where to get them?

I'm a android dev and have a app published on google play.. but didn't get qualify for one

. btw I'm going to bb jam 10 toronto.

Got my confirmation email today as well, confirmed for a device. Woho! Less than a week! I was originally going to get a Dev Alpha via work, but decided I wanted one to keep all to myself and get the upgrade when they're released!

See y'all there!

The tools are available to download today at https://developer.blackberry.com/ in which you can use a simulator until you get your Dev Alpha Device.

I got my confirmation for mine as well

Did you actually get notified that you did not or just assuming? I got the agenda but no mention if I did or did not qualify (I did apply).

**gduggan** · 06-15-2012, 07:35 AM

I also got an email with the agenda and saying I didn't qualify but my co-worker got the email saying he did. After that email I also got another email with just the agenda.

**badtoyz** · 06-15-2012, 08:20 AM

Got the mail yesterday as well and I am getting the dev alpha. See you guys in toronto

Im want a developer device so it can be like an ipod, and nostalgia. I am close to Toronto if anyone wants to unload theres cheap

**Mister-E** · 06-15-2012, 09:05 PM

Turns out I am not getting one. Is there anyone getting one that does not have an app yet in app world?

**alpha413** · 06-15-2012, 09:21 PM

I wanted to get one but I got the email with the agenda saying I wasn't qualified to get one. I would like to have a developer device so if anyone wants to get rid of theirs I can pay up to $800 for it but I live in the US not Canada.

**juched** · 06-15-2012, 09:48 PM

I got approved for one. So excited!

I have no apps in App World and got one in London.

**gduggan** · 06-16-2012, 07:19 AM

Which afternoon sessions did each of you sign up for? I'm going to Native myself.

Do you have any apps in the Android market or Apple app store? I have a feeling where I went wrong with my application.

Qualified for the Dev Alpha in BlackBerry 10 Jam Toronto.

Was slated to receive one in Orlando but couldn't make it to Orlando, VERY short notice (App World Vendors got admission to BlackBerry 10 Jam and BlackBerry world for free).

Anyways I went the WebWorks/HTML5 route, it's what I'm most comfortable with, in regards to qualifying for the Dev Alpha, having an app in App World isn't the the only thing that determines it all, they have their own set of criteria and that's how they decide who's eligible for a Dev Alpha.

I also do think if you go as a representative of an organization then maybe they won't give out another one if one person from that organization already has a Dev Alpha. Looking forward to seeing you all at BlackBerry 10 Jam TORONTO!!

BTW,

Does the Health Card qualify as "Government Photo ID"?

It seems really really ambiguous as the OHIP Health card is sometimes considered government Photo ID and sometimes it's not.
