Hey I just checked on my Z10. My 10.2 is ready for download (Ottawa - Koodo). Only problem - no WIFI at work. Maybe I should sneak out to Second Cup and install it. Hmmm. What to do...

Yup... just checked and Rogers has put it out too... I'm in the middle of downloading it now. Could take a while.

Bloomberg is contradicting the Coller reports:

Coller Capital, the private-equity firm founded by British financier Jeremy Coller, isn’t in talks with bidders about making an offer for BlackBerry Ltd. (BBRY), according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
Coller isn’t seeking to acquire 10 percent of BlackBerry’s patents or providing financing to potential bidders, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the matter is private. Shira Goldman, a spokeswoman for Coller in New York, didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment. Lisette Kwong, a spokeswoman for BlackBerry, declined to comment.
BlackBerry, which announced in August that it was entertaining bids, has drawn a number of interested parties though little in the way of concrete offers. Fairfax Financial Holdings Ltd. (FFH), BlackBerry’s largest investor, signed a tentative agreement to acquire the smartphone maker for $4.7 billion last month -- without naming its buyout partners or showing that it has lined up financing. Cerberus Capital Management LP is looking at BlackBerry’s books, while Lenovo Group Ltd. (992) has also expressed interest in a BlackBerry deal, according to people familiar with the matter.

Why do you say that? He's at a beach in the South of France and he shows us a picture of his toes!! Is he hiding something? I think there are better themes out there then his toes man. Colour me disappointed.

We are assuming that's his toes, but it would be an interesting theme indeed if we are wrong. LOL

Bloomberg is contradicting the Coller reports:

They aren't contradicting but rather reworking the original story. The initial story was published by Bloomberg and now they appear to have different information and have corrected the original article.

Look, in French we refer to that picture as an "au pied de ****" which loosely means "a pile of **** feet" or "s.h.i.t.pile of feet" and that's not good whomever owns them. Now, we know that 20% of Spain's youth are unemployed, hence they, meaning young women, should be down at the beach, then there are the French girls themselves, where are they? They can't all be downloading BBM can they? He would have you believe that.

I don't want to see any grandmas, that shouldn't be necessary here, so let's force him to release the "good" pics next time, ...... its the South of France!!!!

[BlackistheBerry]

10.2 available on fido too.

[Ribes Nigrum]

Just to be on topic here... Toronto is green! (when it isn't anymore: sorry don't have real time data ;-)

BlackBerry announced in press-release yesterday that they already 10M downloads in 24 hours. But yesterday, Android was showing 1M to 5M downloads. So, maybe by the end of today, we'd be at 20M downloads!?

[jake simmons3]

The 10 million was android and iPhone together and Android was at 1-5 on the play store so yes we could be at 20 million soon

I hope that xBBM voice gets released soon. this thing will explode. imagine international calling. which is available on BB10 already. not sure if international calls over wifi quality any good?

[kfh227]

A technology site I go to with large forum of mostly usa people there don't care about BBM cross platform .

Half the people that did get it are pissed that there is no instant gratification (the queue) and the other half are pissed because you can not find friends via email address which I thought you could. That is, they don't want to invite friends via email. They want to FIND friends via email.

People are supportive, negative, conflicted and even ambiguous about xBBM....but at least it's being talked about.

Even in those cold, dark places, where BlackBerry doesn't, allegedly, stand a chance. Twitter:

Funny enough, I feel the exact same way. I'm very hesitant to give my number but cool with my pin. Much easier to make a clean break if need be. lol
