iPhone 5 keynote Makes me want BB10 even more!

i'm sure it will sell but its not a huge step forward from what is out already, its not even really a step forward its just placing it in the same area09-12-12 01:34 PMLike 0 - No disrespect to these two I am going to mention, but did Jim B and Mike L join the board of Apple. Cause it sure looks like similar corporate types are running apple and its showing. Hiens sure looking alot better then Cook now thats for sure.

- honestly there isn't much to talk about it now either, where you compare the hardware to that of the droids or even the SIII, the camera if what nokia displayed was real then it doesn't don't stack up.

I was actually EXCITED for the announcement today. I've come away quite disappointed. Its an iPhone... that still does everything the old iPhone did, just a little bit faster. They changed the connector, so scores of accessories are now obsolete. I actually WANTED to be "wow-ed" today. I'm sure Apple will sell millions of these phones, but I don't see this phone winning anyone over from other platforms. Frankly, BB10 is the only new OS that has any hope of winning over new devotees. Whether or not people think it will is a matter of opinion, but because it is the only new and revolutionary product coming out it will have the opportunity to capture a number of disillusioned users from other platforms. I'm holding out all the hope in the world for BB10, and I hope RIM comes through, because I don't know what I'd do if I couldn't have a phone with a physical keyboard that I can rely on for messaging.09-12-12 01:43 PMLike 2

The competition is simply coming out with more innovation now. I expect more tech bloggers will actually be critical of Apple this go around. I'm just hoping the carriers man up and tell Apple to either drop the phone price to them, or they increase the contract price for parity with the competition.gokulesh likes this.09-12-12 01:51 PMLike 1

- I agree, I am in no way suggesting that the iPhone 5 is monumental in any way. But is it enough to win me over and finally leave BB? Yes. That's the reality for countless people. So many of my friends were aware of the iPhone 5 rumors and were still willing to drop their Androids/BBs.
Because from what I see, besides a larger screen and LTE it's all just the same...09-12-12 01:57 PMLike 0 - I won't have an iphone, don't like them at all and don't want all that Apple sh*te tunes on my PC...One device in several different sizes is all they make and I don't like my works iPad (That bloo*y button drives me mad). Android offers flexibility, performance and allows me to change flavours as I choose (AOSP/AOKP/MIUI/Senseless, with sense 36.6/4/4/1)
I know apple had to do something, but that new curvy shape they've gone for...really! Is that more desirable than the 4S, which even I have to admit is a piece of fabulous design?
I am, however, considering BB10 when it comes out but the handset will have to be a fully loaded high end device or I shall stick with Android. The snippets we have been showed are really innovative and I am liking the look of it.
My work phone will remain Windows 7, its ace and simple to use
Just my tuppence, apologies for any boredom/anger/despair, etc generated when reading09-12-12 01:57 PMLike 0 - sleepngbearRetired ModeratorRIM still has its work cut out for it with BB10 -- it is by no means a slam-dunk success. But I do think that what we've seen today is NOT that Apple can no longer innovate, but rather evidence that smart phones are quickly reaching the point where there's only so much left that can be done to innovate short of introducing an entirely new technology that will replace them altogether. What exactly were people expecting from Apple today that could 'wow' them? Ridiculously spec'd and/or oversized hardware is not necessarily going to make for a better user experience, and the user experience is the bulk of what Apple is about.
Now, RIM is in a good position to bring more parity to the market. MS is as well, to an extent, if any of their manufacturing partners can figure out how to gain some traction, which so far they haven't had much success doing. But I believe that BB10 is going to bring more to the table than WP has, and it's going to bring a different kind of user experience than iOS or Android, with competitive hardware that I believe should be able to tighten this smart phone race a bit and keep them in the game for a good long time.09-12-12 01:58 PMLike 7 - I dont know about you, but after the release of iphone 5 today. jelly bean android is the best os hands down on the market. And looks like android is not done yet with rumored key lime pie. Hoping rim does do something inspiring with its new phones and os.

The improved camera is sure to be a hit given that low-light iPhone photos have always been pathetic. The bigger screen, too. I don't know how much the general public will care about the improved CPU and multiple bands. But I doubt it matters given the vast numbers who will buy anything that's shiny and bright and made by Apple.
most consumers are looking for flashy blig bling gadgets thats really what the iPhone offers but that same bling is more or less the same as what the 4/4S are minus the .5" larger screen which in a way is all height so is it really much different unless its in landscape09-12-12 02:01 PMLike 0 - The iPhone 4S-Limo, or 4S-L, will sell well, and probably more than the 4s, but I don't expect the crazy growth over the previous generation that Apple has enjoyed with each new iPhone.

- Basically, Apple muffed the punt. They fragmented their app selection, noone will want to use an app that gives you black stripes down the sides, so now which carrier recovers the fumble? I think Nokia/MS already shot their wad and their skittle flavored phones did not impress, if RIM wants it, they can have it. A major BB10 hardware/software preview presser in the coming weeks could be huge if RIM wants to get back into the game.tinker2000 likes this.09-12-12 02:02 PMLike 1

I wonder what the next paradigm shift is going to be? Something like google glass? or maybe this slab phone paradigm might last a couple of decades?09-12-12 02:03 PMLike 0 - RIM still has its work cut out for it with BB10 -- it is by no means a slam-dunk success.

- This keynote has been an eye-opener.. I am so so disappointed..
On the other hand, Now I have more respect for the efforts RIM, Samsung and Microsoft are putting in to bring something new to the consumers.
For once I'm getting that reversal feeling that Apple wants us to live with what they give us whereas RIM, MS and SG are working their a55es off to enrich our lives..09-12-12 02:10 PMLike 3 - Perfect screen size for me, just 4". LTE is big for me as well. Hopefully faster than previous gens as well, not that it really needed to be but I'm all for CPU/memory improvements. Longer battery life hopefully. Better Camera. That's really it. I need iOS for school so anything they released today would have won me over quite honestly. I'm not ecstatic about the release, but I'm happy with the upgrades. It was the perfect balance that finally got me to commit. Would I have liked to see more from Apple? Sure. But this was just enough.

lets get real, you just needed a little more of a push to go the iPhone route deep down you were convinced to but you didn't know if it was worth it09-12-12 02:16 PMLike 0
