The problem is it doesn't matter what the cause, I fear Blackberry may pay for it in the end
As a Canadian I agree - I don't like some of the comments here about "Well - now its your time to wait America.. well Americans do this .. blah blah".
As I've said, we are all BlackBerry fans and I am just as upset as many others about the March US launch. And to you Canadians who think its a "good thing" for the US market to get it March - we won't have any company to support here in Canada if US customers don't buy the product in the first place.
I liked the forums better when we rallied for BlackBerry, not against each other.
i truly believe that Blackberry are not going for a big splash.
i think they are going for a long game.
keep in mind when it comes out in the US BB10 will have probably been updated to be more stable and better performing then now.
Using the same people have short memories metaphor, people will forget about all this once it is available.
Wow. This community is pretty disappointing. I remember when I got my first BB back in the day being on here and enjoying myself. Now it's full of insults and juvenile stabs. Pathetic.
dude if you absolutely cant wait maybe one of your international CB friends can help out. where there is a will there is a way.
i've bought several devices from the US and had them shipped to Canada for use. i dont think that's a one way flow.
Here is your chance for a Z10 in the US.

1200.00 I believe.
I am disapointed but what can we do? I applaud our British and Canadian Friends. I am happy that you have gotten the chance to get the new BB10 so quickly. I really look forward to this forum returning to everyone talking about the new things they have discoveered in Z10. it will help me out greatly when I get mine from Verizon. Good things come to those who wait. Plus I get to save a little more money for some cool accessories that will be available by then. Peace everyone we are all Crackberrians!
ahh if it makes you feel better, just think of us as beta testing the device to ensure you have a smooth platform when its released :)
So we can expect it to be perfect after all your efforts. :-)
exactly!
you can thank me by sending me money. or cookies. or money and cookies!
That's been my statement all along. I appreciate your help. :heart:
Not to be too heavy here but I am happy to see the disappointment. There is an old saying "Boo's are better than silence" (I think it was Dale Earnhardt). Anyway, it is a good thing that people are upset. Imagine if they weren't...
Another plus is more apps from the go for you lot :)
If I were Samsung I'd follow the Blackberry Super Bowl ad with a Galaxy S commercial that ends "...and guess what Americans? You can buy this phone RIGHT NOW. No waiting"
i doubt they'd waste how many millions to advertise a phone that needs no advertising
I know is not fair, but the reason is this ...
Release dates will be in the "middle of" March for us (due to carrier testing, which is more stringent in the US), but Canada will get the phones on February 5. The UK gets it tomorrow.
BlackBerry 10 Launch: Everything You Need To Know
It is funny, but imagine a life full of this???
There are many other countries that had always waited so long, while US already had it
Stop complaining and learn to wait, or change to another brand, there is a reason there are so many, if you like BB, then wait, be Happy
My point is as Americans you think you are owed to be first for everything! I agree it's not good that it won't be available until March for the us but there isn't anything that can be done about it. Talk to your carriers and tell them your concerns.
Btw I never said you were spoiled and I never attacked you personally like you have with me so that shows your character. "buddy" I make Canada look bad? You just made the us look worse. But thanks for saying I look young I will take that as a compliment "buddy"
let's not turn this into a personal flame war people
This isnt life and death
Let's clarify: We here in America are not acting out due to entitlement--it's because we are obsessed with this phone and want it ASAP. You have no idea how hard it is in the United States defending RIM to a nation full of iSheep. But we do it all the time. Year after year. If that helps uphold YOUR stereotype, so be it. You can make it up to me by shipping my entitled @$$ a shiny new BlackBerry 10. (After all, I deserve it.)
p.s. If Canada was a booger, I'd pick her first. BlackBerry for life, amigos!
I'M NOT EATING MY PEAS!!!! I'M NOT!!!! AND THAT"S IT!!! I DON"T CARE IF I GET IN TROUBLE, I'M NOT!!!!!! Really? really?
haha i know,
but there is a difference between being frustrated as you clearly are, and taking it as a personal insult.
keep in mind i never spoke out against americans, i was responding to a post about how people view americans that was bought up by someone else.
and trust me, i do have an idea how it is to defend blackberry, but substitute iphone fans for Android fans. i also get some iphone fans but whenever they pipe up, i just ask if i can bluetooth a great song to them
Lol we all have a hard time defending BlackBerry against all the uneducated Isheep so I feel your pain! I apologize to all the Americans on here for my comments im sure if I had to wait another month I would go insane and it's easy for me to speak because I'm not the one that has to wait so again I apologize for my comments to all Americans except to my "Buddy" BB-Bmore
But would you eat your peas with green eggs and ham??
I hope BlackBerry can get a refund on their SuperBowl advertisement(s). Wasted money with a 60-day delay in availability from the US wireless carriers. Way to go RIM! Expect the share price to plummet if sales are not over 1 000 000 units for UK and Canada by next Wednesday and sustaining that pace will be difficult.
