Samsung could make a great BB10 device for BB
-
- It's not like the back -- and that's what we're talking about here -- is made out of coffee can lids. It's a precision designed plastic that's both durable and bendable. It's extremely easy to remove the back because of it, and the thing snap snap snaps into place on the phone firmly. Sure, it ends up giving the back a less than premium, industrial looking design. But most people end up putting a case on their phone anyway, and what's that made of? Yep, you guessed it. What's most important is the innards and the display.

I could never feel like a Samsung is made of anything more than the same plastic used for toy cars. You can explain all you want, that's not going to change how cheap I think it feels when holding it. When I pay ? 600,- for a phone, I don't want it to feel as it came from Toys R Us.

Samsung and HTC diversified with windows, but Sony has been left out in a similar position as Nokia and BlackBerry.
That's why Sony and BlackBerry tying in would be a great option. Plus BlackBerry pulled out if Sony's hone market Japan.

HTC, Sony and LG might be able to make good bb10 devices like they make good android devices but their market position clearly shows that Samsung is well ahead in the game.

i dont think samsung would even consider it, bb10 is a nice os but why ditch a more popular operating system for a struggling one and risk rubbish sales and ruining their image if it doesnt go down well and if it does they most likely still wont sell as many bb10 phones as they did android phones last quarter, its a big risk with little gain for samsung where a lot could go wrong and people are just focusing on what blackberry will gain from it instead of considering that these companies will most likely not go near bb with a bargepole as they arent going to improve their businesses08-09-13 10:39 PMLike 0 - Blackberry already is a brand name, Samsung is just a components provider. I don't think their components are superior. One more thing Samsung doesn't have its own OS. Just imagine Google or Microsoft refuse to licence their software to Samsung. I agree regarding the displays, but BBRY has to do some effort in order to regain its leadership.08-09-13 11:18 PMLike 0
- I don't think Samsung is going to license BlackBerry 10 OS and build BlackBerry phones. But who knows, anything can happen.
Samsung does own/control most components that go inside of a phone. They can build a BlackBerry device for much much cheaper than BlackBerry itself. Not only does Samsung enjoy economies of scale (they do make tons of Android phones) but they actually own a lot of components themselves! Whereas, BlackBerry has to buy components and the price BlackBerry gets for component is obviously not as great as what Samsung would get because BlackBerry's order size is much smaller.
So, Samsung built BlackBerry could easily be much cheaper to build and hence can be priced far more competitively in the market. Imagine Q5 for $250 to $300. Q10 for $400 to $500, Z10 for $450 to $500. Those would be competitive prices.08-09-13 11:30 PMLike 0 - oh wow i forgot about your ability to tell how much a type of plastic costs by holding it. just because you dont like the feeling of it (which is fine by me, different choices for different people) doesnt automatically make the backing cheap, its most likely designed that way to keep the phone from racking up mm thickness and excess weight, to mold to the curved shape of the back of the phone better promoting the "pebble" like design, unscratchable and dirt resistant back unlike metal backed phones like the iphone 5 and htc one, and because as already mentioned people love cases and will likely cover it up anyway.

Jeez, lots of people are making such a fuss about this. I never said it IS cheap, it just feels cheap to me. My opinion, my experience with Samsung phones. BlackBerry has a more sophisticated feeling which I like. (hence 'feeling', not stating facts here)
