    Now that 10.2.1 has been officially released, how's he doing so far in your opinion? And what are the things that we can look forward to?

    Too early to tell. I'm sure 10.2.1 was in the works well before he took over. Give him at least a year and the release of at least one high end device, and we'll see.

    So far so good but still too early in the game. But I will say the more he talks the more I like him.

    Still too early. Looks promising. We will have a better idea once Chen oversees a device release and maybe a new marketing strategy. The ship hasn't been righted yet, just plugged a few holes in the hull. I'm looking forward to a better year.

    Impressed so far because he must have hired somebody away from Apple, releasing an OS update everywhere on the same day is surely proof of that. There is no way that BlackBerry employees BC (before Chen), would have figured out how to do it.
    Now if he can do this with a new phone release. . . . .!!!

    Too early to tell. He has nothing to do with new Jakarta blackberry and 10.2.1, people in charge before him made it happen. He just signed papers and contracts, hired and fired people and made some executive changes. More he can done in a few weeks.

    Remember what he did to the sinking stock price. Now we have movement. In the right direction. Earnings call, very professional behaviour and statement. More goodness on its way. We will get a "cool phone". Betcha.

    I'd be very impressed if me made it a policy for us all to receive updates directly from BlackBerry instead of relying on carriers.

    Extremely unhappy with T-Mobile not releasing 10.2 yet...

    He hasn't done much yet.
    Talk, yes.
    Products, no.
    Marketing, no.
    Avg Joe's perception of BB, no.
    Licensing BB10, no.

    Still waiting to see what REAL impact J.C. BlackBerry has.

    John Chen I know you're reading this! Just wanted to say keep doing your thing man! But also please realise that us business professionals loved the trackpad and the main reason we are not upgrading is because BlackBerry somewhere along the line before you started your tenor decided it was a good idea to get rid of it. Well I'm here to say bring it back!

    Remember what Thorsten did to the sinking stock price too? By years end it was up by 11%, that all turned out well after though didn't it.

    Still early days, Chen is at the breast feeding stages and needs to mature in his position before we see what this baby can do

    So what you're saying is Chen is getting fed by a breast?

    BTW, plans for 10.2 were probably done long before J.C. BlackBerry joined up.

    10.2.1 was way in the works before he joined as the interim ceo.

    So far he looks promising but as everyone has said it's still way to early to really say. It ll take some time

    As others have noted, it is too soon to tell, but Chen seems to have a much better sense of what Blackberry should be doing than Heins (who from the get-go I thought was poor choice to be CEO; I think that opinion was proven correct) ever did.

    I still think Chen could lead Blackberry to go the all-software route, but that may be (and IMO is) the best route for Blackberry to go as a company, even if Blackberry device fans would hate that path. Even if Blackberry doesn't go that way and remains in the hardware business, I think Chen has a better idea about how to get Blackberry on track than Heins did, or for that matter than Lazardis/Balsillie did in the last 2-3 years of their time as co-CEOs.
