im very lucky to have got my z10 today. the new OS is beautiful.

however, im a bit griped that the majority of the decent apps i use on my 9900 (whatsapp, m8, bloomberg, scoremobile for example) arent yet available on bb10. i rely heavily on these apps, and i (perhaps mistakenly) assumed that these would have automatically been ported!

also, the twitter app is a step backwards imo.

dont get me wrong, i LOVE the z10, it's a work of art, but i am very underwhelmed with the quality of the apps available so far.

Score is on there, I saw it earlier - It's under a slightly different name now. There's more stuff coming constantly. I've seen 3 different sets of "New" items today alone and they seem to be coming in waves. My concern is however, there's bloody loads of games - but not many new "apps"

I think Scoremobile was rename The Score

[Dimitri.69]

After Rogers bought The Score, they changed the name to " The Score" on the app.

WhatsApp is coming

[uzmarvel]

ScoreMobile is there by name theScore. My only app that I was missing was PasswordKeeper and it's there as well. I'm using ported android app until native one arrives.

is there a whatsapp android version you can sideload in the meantime?

The app offerings at launch are terrible. There are so few usable apps. The lack of WhatsApp at launch is a huge blow. BlackBerry is trying to attract users that left the platform, most of them have turned to WhatsApp or Kik for cross platform messaging. For these users to see that they can not chat with their usual contact list will not be taken well.

1st we had this:

Now they say it's going to be there.

Curious....

[KasukeSadiki]

Good thing those will be there for the US launch then

Nobody knows for sure if it'll make it here in time.

Does anyone have any substitute IM client for now?

Yes there is, the 4x4 group I am in use this heavily for contact.
Sideloaded it yesterday. It works, however, your "contacts" in whatsapp don't show up, any groups you were in previously should come up in conversations instantly, and people can add you to a chat and from there you can chat back and forth with them.
