Truth is most people don't know
- I have showed my Q10 to many of my friends, college student in Dallas, Texas.
Most people didn't know BlackBerry still makes phones. Few people have even asked me if it's touch screen.
Consumers aren't aware of their products. It will take time to catch on.

Posted via CB1010-04-13 11:12 PMLike 5 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModBut they are still assumptions with what is arguably the worst possible metrics as a basis. My point is people may actually be more aware of BB10 than we generally give them credit for.richardat and Tre Lawrence like this.10-04-13 11:25 PMLike 2
- I honestly did not know that the bb10 devices are all running a non android os (until I got one). After I had some time with a bb10 device the first thing I thought was that it was running a custom version of android similar to what b&n nook, and amazon Kindle did.
I really just hopped in to the BlackBerry devices by chance since I really didn't know anything about them. I bought a q10 for $300 purely because I was intrigued with the physical qwerty, and somebody was willing to sell me one for a cheap price. I wasn't too into it, sold it, and bought a z10. Yea I went from a q10 to a z10.

I watch MNF at a pub every week and people don't know what BB10 is and the truth is they don't know what HTC one is or the Moto X is either. People don't care, they go about there lives and buy what there friends have or what they see on TV nothing more
Posted via CB1010-04-13 11:34 PMLike 5 - It's not a Southern thing guys. Lol. It's just that BlackBerry's marketing sucks b*lls!
This is my first BlackBerry. The way I found out about it was a quick Internet search of "newest smartphones." The BlackBerry Z10 popped up. I YouTube'd it and fell in love! :P lol.
I saw my first BlackBerry 10 ad months after I had my Z10 in hand. Smh

The only people I know who are aware of BB10 are the ones who read tech blogs. Most girls and my non techie guy friends think all Blackberries are the same as the ones they had in high school.ankush77 and JayRoc11212 like this.10-04-13 11:41 PMLike 2 -
If you show them now....and I've told lots of people about BB10....it's mostly "oh...meh....that's good".10-04-13 11:43 PMLike 3 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModDon't get me wrong, I 'm not saying BlackBerry has done a bang up job in marketing and advertising...I haven't lost that much of my mind. What I am saying is when things like "Most people don't know..." is said, it is probably inaccurate on a lot of levels. There is a large chunk of people who have no idea BlackBerry has a new OS or new devices, but I also think there is a large chunk that do and they are either ambivalent or just flat out don't care.
What I just don't understand is why people go out of their way to relate what 12 (it's an example) of their friends and acquaintances think and apply that to the buying public writ large.Tre Lawrence and richardat like this.10-04-13 11:47 PMLike 2 -
- Funny thing is the only time I ever saw blackberry advertising in my life was on a recent trip to Dallas I saw a q10 sign while waiting for the train.

What I just don't understand is the seeming need to play devils advocate across so many threads. Perhaps you just enjoy a good debate? That's what we need! A new forum! BlackBerry debate! For those of us that enjoy a good argument! I know we all enjoy it every now and then, and then these threads could be left for people that just want to share experiences and talk about their phones.

I do believe people are more aware than we may want to believe.10-05-13 12:13 AMLike 0 -

And I still wonder why BBRY was not able to convincingly encourage legacy users to switch. Surely, they knew about BB10?richardat likes this.10-05-13 12:21 AMLike 1 - Don't get me wrong, I 'm not saying BlackBerry has done a bang up job in marketing and advertising...I haven't lost that much of my mind.

And yes...if you work next to BB HQ, or are an engineer at BB, or live in....South Africa...then every single one of your 20 closest friends use bb10, and everyone you see all day has a bb10 device....otherwise, you may be fudging the truth a bit (I get the impression that the stockberrians are the ones most likely to go this far), or having some confirmation bias in your observations! lol. At the least, if your account is accurate, then your environment does not reflect the global reality.10-05-13 12:25 AMLike 0
