    The majority of people are too stupid to realise how good BB10 is. They simply brush off BlackBerry as "old and dead" because of some second hand nonsense they read or heard from the !diot tech guy.

    The day that people start embracing BlackBerry is the day that people start thinking for themselves.
    This comment is quite narrow minded and delusional
    I'm not sure how you've come to your conclusions but i'm willing to bet that you are not thinking for yourself when you made this statement

    BlackBerry is just like mutants in x-men. They are unique, powerful and pretty cool. But people are afraid of them. People are afraid of what they don't know, what they don't understand.

    People usually think my Z10 is a iPhone 5(s). Then when I say it's a BlackBerry it's almost sad how many people either say they didn't know BlackBerry made touch screen phones, or that they thought they just stopped devices.

    They don't think much because the marketing for BlackBerry's BB10 phones was so poorly done most people still don't know BlackBerry changed their OS.

    Just go to pretty much any non-BB centric site and read any comments on pretty much any BlackBerry related story. One will see that the overwhelming majority of people commenting have no idea about the new phones released last year. Or if they do, they certainly don't know those new devices have a new OS, and how different it is.

    Some people that I have talked to feel that a BlackBerry is a downgrade. I hate it when they say that.

    A couple of weeks ago a half dozen guys in our lunch room started to talk about phones and OSes. And features. When I started to talk about my Z10 they were totally disinterest saying it's just an old BlackBerry. I said it had a totally new OS and that now iPhone was the oldest. They just laughed and said I didn't know anything. Iphone just was updated to OS7 and it's the newest and a BlackBerry is still a BlackBerry no matter what. And my Z10 was just a bad knockoff of an iPhone with no apps. That from a older guy who just got his first phone last year and had to be shown how to answer it and hang up almost every day for the first couple of weeks.

    An overwhelming number of people see my phone and think it's an iPhone. Even if I tell them it's a BlackBerry on a new operating system, the majority of them don't even understand what that really means to be on a new operating system. They just think it's a BlackBerry and that it crashes and freezes.

    The reason that the market for BlackBerry is quite small is that most phone users are not unhappy with their phone OS's. WP 8 is really in the same boat. BB10 is an answer to a question that few were asking .

    I've had different reactions to my Q10. Whilst most people love it, there are a few who are like "Ewww! BlackBerry!".

    Yeah most of the time I get a ew a BlackBerry? Who still uses BlackBerry type look.

    But I still show them basic usage of swiping from the bottom to go to home screen.

    Some exposure is better than none right?

    Was watching a tv episode the other day and saw this. Just like my Z10, but this tape was too obvious.

    Public opinion still pretty good here in Malaysia. At least in the government sector. I've seen plenty of Q10 in the hand of government officers.

    The general public is thick as sh!t.

    They are all an embarrassment. My friends and family included, when it comes to BlackBerry and phones.

    They see a BlackBerry. And everything good and bad that is associated with the brand. For the most part, I still think there's an association with the old BBOS devices.

    My daughter just got her Z10, so I asked her what type of responses has she gotten at school. She said that most of the kids will initially say that BlackBerry is terrible, based on their parents ' experience. Then when my daughter tells them that hers is a BlackBerry, the response is usually positive. Some of her friends think the swiping, keyboard and peek and flow are pretty cool. My daughter is a little BlackBerry ambassador, grin.
