BB Negative Press is sickening
Let me start this off by saying I am a proud Windows Phone 8 user, but I am a phone and gadget ***** my loyalty lies wherever a product serves my needs best at that particular time. Having said that I am always keeping my eyes open for new devices. I was and have been excited about BB's come back for a while now, competition is a great thing as I believe it is a major part in driving innovation.
Since yesterday I have combed my typical tech blogs to get "expert" analysis and opinion (which most are stating theirs as fact) and its shocking to me how many are slamming BB's efforts. I am not new to bad press... i have a windows phone there is no shortage of naysayers about my current OS of choice but it seems to me, much like with wp8, there is a concerted effort to turn people away from anything that's not android or apple.
Its like they were expecting the phone to be a mini optimus prime and transform into a personal warrior or something. The Z10 is on par with the majority of the phones out there and its been proven time and time again that specs aren't everything if the hardware and software know how to work well with each other. It just gets under my skin that people who have the influence refuse to report from an objective/non biased point of view. I realize there is no such thing as purely objective but these guys aren't even trying to hide it. They "doomed" the device before any official information was released and continue to do so even after seeing how it performs.
As of right now im content with my lumia 920 but I am rooting for you guys, I hope that BB can continue to move forward despite all of the obstacles they currently face and in my opinion the Z10 may not be a phone with a spec sheet that reads like its on steroids but to me its is a step in the right direction. I will take quality over spec quantity any day.
