**kdna** · 02-03-2013, 02:01 PM

Take our money. Carriers win. BlackBerry wins. Consumers win. Publicity win. Ad-spend win.

**LazyEvul** · 02-03-2013, 02:03 PM

Wouldn't count on it. At all.

This isn't even a rumour. This is your own personal wish.

**Rello** · 02-03-2013, 02:09 PM

Why make a thread like this?

100% agree with Rello. This should have been added to one of the other USA availability threads as a "wish".

Or a prayer..

**howarmat** · 02-03-2013, 02:19 PM

can we please not do this today. its superbowl day, BB is going to have an awesome commercial to get us all pumped again. Lets not create threads like this.

Why are you all underestimating the new marketing organization at BlackBerry? Not sure what the point of the ad will be, but hopefully its not just show and tell and smoke and mirrors. These ads need to drive word-of-mouth sales in NORTH AMERICA.

I can not say it enough. The first Android commercials were memorable and there was no product on the shelves.

RIMM needs a memorable commercial, that all.

Who cares. This is a crackberry forum with people anticipating a BlackBerry commercial. At least BlackBerry is original while Android is an iClone.

Just got back from a Verizon in Michigan. Talked my wife and daughter into getting a z10 but they didnt want to wait so both decided on the iphone 5. I asked the sales associate that I was holding out for the blackberry Z10. I asked when it would be available and she said the end of April. I said "WHAT??$%^" I heard it was coming mid to late March. She said the Blackberry rep was in a couple of days ago and told them the end of April. I hope she is FOS!!!! But this kind of mis-information is going to kill any momentum. Blackberry needs to get out there and get a hard date out if possible.

Q10 is April, Z10 is supposed to be March.

It's my personal wish too. :-)

Have we learned nothing from the launch rumors?

**Jtaylor1986** · 02-03-2013, 04:57 PM

I am willing to bet anyone in this thread any sum of money this will not happen.

**kdna** · 02-03-2013, 05:03 PM

What ever happened to the "I believe" campaign? Everyone knows that the USA is one of the most important markets for these devices. Please make it happen BlackBerry! I recall Thorsten saying that "time is one of the most precious things we have... [especially when we're mobile]". Come on!

**pcguy514** · 02-03-2013, 05:09 PM

Didint CBK explicitly say : DONT EXPECT THIS. on a front page Superbowl article.....(unless hes trying to mislead?)

**Skeevecr** · 02-03-2013, 05:19 PM

There is zero chance of this happening, ignoring the sloth-like nature of the american carriers, rim could find themselves in hot water with the financial regulators if they did announce this after publically stating March and the resulting fall in the stock price.

If you want to make predictions for today, stick with the scoreline!

**timmy t** · 02-03-2013, 05:23 PM

I think they are going to announce that BB10 will be available for the PlayBook, starting tomorrow. I heard that from a friend of a friend that works at ~~RIM~~ BlackBerry.

**Sqoon** · 02-03-2013, 05:27 PM

Please delete this thread.
Why would they say a month on Thursday only to announce it three days later.

When it is a couple weeks away, we will see carrier leaks like we did with Rogers.

**SwitchBeach** · 02-03-2013, 05:39 PM

This should have been titled "Complete Speculation" or "Wild Guess" or "Wishful Thinking" rather than "Rumor".

**silversun10** · 02-03-2013, 05:42 PM

entering the twilight zone now

**Rello** · 02-03-2013, 06:41 PM

I could've sworn this thread was closed. This is neither news nor a rumor and would mean the CEO blatantly lied about availability in the US being mid march
