Man I really want one. But at the high price, lack of live sports apps and the $40 a month for a maximum 5gb data plan........................ jeez. Sorry RIM. It may not be your fault here but I'm not going to buy one. 5gb is a few Hockey games. Just not worth it at all.

Next earnings call may reveal #'s.. maybe. But the next earnings call will be even more brutal than the last one so maybe they won't say.
I have a feeling this was planned as a low volume product and not many units will be produced so as to keep the msrp high for the few people who want it. I'd be suprised if they sold 5000 in this fiscal quarter given how late in it, it was introduced and its limited distribution.
We only sold 2 at our best buy store. Im guessing because there isnt a lot of exposure. Where is the damn marketing RIM!!!
Hmm, right now only Canadian carriers are point of sale partners. Last I heard RIM was still in the process of working out a deal with Best Buy and Future Shop. Did this change since... the 14th of August?

That is the impression I got.
Are they going to ditch the wifi model and just have a 4g model? I'm a little confused about their strategy at this point. Shouldn't they have come out with the 4g model to begin with and then the wifi model when the bb10 phones were rolling out so people could bridge, etc.
Went to see the bourne Legacy a couple weeks ago. Girlfriend is using a Palm Pre 2 and is going to get a bb10 phone. We were amazed that during the intros and other movie clips was a commercial about the galaxy 3 ! I thought it was a great commercial and it had everyone's attention. Blackberry should jump on that. Its a great place to run a commercial and with all the TURN OFF YOUR CELL PHONE stuff, everyone has phones on their mind. Brilliant spot. Are you paying any attention RIM?????????
Pardon my ignorance but what is this $50 lte hotspot you speak of?
Varies by carrier, but here in Canada we can get an LTE hotspot for about $50, you'd then have to get a monthly rate-plan to go along with it. It's a standalone hotspot with nothing but a power switch and a few LEDs. For example I have a little LTE Hotspot that I keep in my wallet, costs about $50 on a 3 year term, then I pay about $30 a month for 500GB of data.
