- It simplifies the process and is just one of the uses for NFC, so it is clearly not a bad thing even if you are able to do the same thing in other ways, using similar logic we would still have to create a dial-up session on our phone just to go and get our email since it still works too.11-27-12 09:21 PMLike 0
- I think the screen sharing is for video chat. So if your video chatting with someone and want to show them a picture or a website or a text/email, etc. you can. It would also be valuable for video conferencing.You could show slides in a meeting without physically being in the meeting.11-27-12 10:12 PMLike 0
- If BB10 consists only of the things they've demoed -- a new UI, cool camera app, new keyboard, updated browser, and unique alarm clock -- RIM will be laughed at, and they know it. That's how you know that they're holding a lot of stuff back.
Just as an example -- if you looked at the iPhone's home screen, camera, keyboard, browser, and alarm clock, you still wouldn't have anywhere close to a complete picture of the phone's capabilities. So far I love everything I've seen from BB10. But I know I haven't seen everything. I think the rest of the experience -- the stuff we haven't seen, which we'll see at the unveiling, will make the difference between this being a solid phone meant for a small market segment or a great, market leading phone with broad appeal.donmateo likes this.11-27-12 11:15 PMLike 1 - WP is fast, but my problem is that there are no FOLDERS! How can I sort my applications if there's a ton of stuff? The Cascades and BB Flow UX beats WP hands down. WP just has really nice flipping animation...but that's kinda it.11-28-12 01:17 AMLike 0
- I'm still under the impression that they can reveal tons of new features and if there is no word on support for at least some of the popular apps then the features really won't mean much. . .If they reveal support for skype, netflix, instagram, kindle, pandora, all with BBM integration. . .then show off Cinnamon Toast, Screen Sharing, Video/photo Editing, Video calling, Then I (and the market I feel) will be quite satisfied. . .oh. . .and some BB10 on Playbook action would be a nice bonus. . .LOL11-28-12 06:18 PMLike 0

- If you been on CB or any BB forum with BB10 news you cant be that surprised as you get inside scoop exclusives.
If there's more hidden stuff great I would like no leaks thank you.If there is no more hidden stuff but smartphone features its cool Its win win allround we will get a quality phone.11-29-12 08:13 PMLike 0 - If BB10 consists only of the things they've demoed -- a new UI, cool camera app, new keyboard, updated browser, and unique alarm clock -- RIM will be laughed at, and they know it.

I've always felt that many many features of modern smartphones are functionally useless but are included because reviewers need to constantly demand 'new' things to squeel about, and to convince people that they need to upgrade their phone even when they don't. The core of a phones functionality is the UI, the keyboard, the browser and how it handles messaging. Most of a phones capabilities outside of those aspects is determined by apps not by the developers. In many cases new 'features' for a phone were available on that platform years earlier just in an app not baked in. I remember using Vlingo years ago to search stuff with voice, and then using the microphone button on my google widget to search the web with voice on android, and yet Siri is still apparently new and exciting. 'New' features never are. Most of them aren't even useful.
Buuuut I do agree that RIM should be seeking to really explode out of the gate with BB10. It doesn't matter if I or anyone else thinks that whatever features of iOS or android are dumb. It's incredibly important that the press doesn't have excuses to say that BB10 doesn't lack features, even if we know those features would never get used. Annoyingly enough, perceptions are more important than reality and if we want BB10 to be a success we just have to accept that RIM is competing in a marketplace where the dominant consumer-type is 'Tech-illiterate Idiots' and those guys really will buy stuff on the strength of a feature they will never use.redk likes this.11-30-12 09:46 AMLike 1 - I'm still under the impression that they can reveal tons of new features and if there is no word on support for at least some of the popular apps then the features really won't mean much. . .If they reveal support for skype, netflix, instagram, kindle, pandora, all with BBM integration. . .then show off Cinnamon Toast, Screen Sharing, Video/photo Editing, Video calling, Then I (and the market I feel) will be quite satisfied. . .oh. . .and some BB10 on Playbook action would be a nice bonus. . .LOL
With what you said though, the major applications anyone would want will be there on launchanon(3896606) likes this.12-05-12 12:10 PMLike 1 - In some ways they already have one with stuff like bb protect or the way bbid is changing, but if you are talking about the x amount of gig storage side of cloud services, I would actually prefer them to take another approach to things and work hard to integrate support for as many of the established players such as dropbox, box, skydrive and google drive as they can because the biggest benefits to that stuff comes from being able to readily synch between all your devices and not being locked off to just one type.12-05-12 11:12 PMLike 0
- You are right Bla1ze, RIM keeps so many BB10 powers down below right now. And we all can see it when Jan 30, 2013.12-06-12 09:41 AMLike 0
- RIM has stated numerous times that they will be launching BB10 with the top like 200 applications on all other OS'. That being said, instagram and those big named apps will be there at launch...obviously there is question over skype and netflix...i believe netflix will be there forsure...but skype is a toss up...

not that i'm bothered, but dint want people assuming the wrong thing here.

The L series are MUCH nicer (though I still need to run the sunspider test to see if that has changed any on the recent builds).12-06-12 10:17 AMLike 3
- kbz1960Doesn't Matterthey said the top 200 apps for regions. not other os. that is completely different. if they were only talking about bb apps then that still no skype and the like.

- again you're assuming other os here
ask yourself is there a region where skype is in the top 200 for existing bb os and you'd be closer to the point i'm trying to make.
i'm not saying i'm definitely right. just pointing out that they actually havent made any promises in regards to apps on other os.
until someone from rim actually says something outright, i'm assuming they mean current os apps and i will not get caught up in ythe hype machine.
i'd rather be wrong and pleasantly surprised then wrong and bitterly disappointed

We need to all be realistic and accept the fact now that we won't get everything on our wish list. It will avoid feeling let down on the 30th.12-14-12 09:57 AMLike 0
