Current bb10 users? No, cause we have similar in price (z3), in spec (z10) or better (z30).
Legacy users? No, cause they want keyboard and we have those: q10, classic or passport.
Android and iPhone users? No, cause they can get better deals.
This phone most likely will no sale at all. You can write it on the wall.

- They are currently no blackberry phone like that right now anymore because all z and q series are discontinued John Chen said that they are depleting all inventory to make room for the new phones next year and when corporations want to buy BlackBerry 10 phones next year they will not have an option like the z10 or q10 or z30 or q5 anymore....so BlackBerry needs a classic phone and a midrange touch screen phone for those business....plus when the z10 and z30 and q10 launched they we re extremely expensive compared to the classic we have now and Rio if it exists and if it will be priced at sub $300...big difference

- I sure hope so. The Z10 was good and the Z30 was even better. BlackBerry does indeed know how to make a good touch screen phone. Will it have all the apps on other platforms? No, but I don't think that's why many here are interested in it.

However, if the old bb10 are not being manufacture anymore. I guess is ok.

- The Z30 is an excellent device that BlackBerry basically canned at launch by not promoting it. The Passport is only BlackBerry device better In specs, and the new phones (Classic and soon Rio) are using the same processor as the Q10 and Z10 which means that 10.3.X is being optimized for low end hardware. I don't like this strategy as I saw it before with BBOS and it basically imploded in their face, and the hardware savings were never passed down to the user. Having now compared the Z30 to Z10 I can safely say the Z10 was horribly under powered, constantly ran hot when out under any load, and is not a good platform for BB10. I don't understand why they could not standardize on the MSM9860T in the Z30 as it runs BB10 buttery smooth, and gives them some growth capability. Using three year old hardware is going to either limit what your software engineers can do that's cool and new in the IS, limit developers, or end of life the hardware quicker (BBOS 4 to 5 to 6 to 7 anyone) . BlackBerry should be more open with the roadmap since they are not competing with anyone anyways and so the people like us who still choose to use BlackBerry know whether or not a device is worth buying or if we should wait.

After now owning, mainly as a business device, my N3 for six months, I can't imagine going back to Blackberry. It was awesome while I owned it, my Bold 9900 being very nice, but looking back, it was limited.
My Note 3 far exceeds my last device. Being able to customize every single aspect of this phone is very nice. Multiple launchers is the cherry on the top. Making voice calls from multiple apps is very nice as well.BB_Junky likes this.12-27-14 03:23 PMLike 1 - Blackberry needs an all-touch volume-leader for business. It has to be a practical choice from a spec perspective particularly screen size and battery life, but it also has to hit a relatively low price-point. Apple was using their 4s in this market although they will likely move up to 5 with the release of 6. The z10 doesn't meet the battery or screen-size requirement, and some z30 features are too fancy for general corporate use, hence the need for Rio. There is little doubt that BlackBerry will release another all-touch flagship in the future... but that is not the current priority. If you are a spec-chaser you should switch to android as over-spec'ing hardware is the value proposition of some manufacturers in that camp, and not even apple is keeping up. If you just want a very nice high-performance device on the best mobile os then pick up a z30, at the current shopblackberry sale price it is quite simply the best deal on the market. BlackBerry's focus is not on the consumer market and they are not likely to be at the leading edge spec-wise for the foreseeable future. If that is cause for you to leave the brand then you should do so and save yourself and us from your constant laments.

You have convinced me that you should buy a fire phone, enjoy!
