I would love to sit in on a meeting at BlackBerry HQ. What goes on in there when they discuss devices? Poor presence in shops, poor public perception, we aren't going to bother letting the public know these phones exist...what about price? Hmm...let's price the phones at what we think they are worth...yeah, that'll work.
That's enough negativity from me. I'm going to sit back and watch the next three months closely, and look to make a decision then. If after over two years of BlackBerry 10, BlackBerry still can't bump their heads into the wall in a way that wakes them up to the fact that you need to properly market/advertise products in order for them to sell, I'm sadly selling my modest (comparatively) position, and walking. Advertising on YouTube like some teenaged blogger isn't enough. I want to see them grow some danglers and back their own creations with a proper marketing push. The fact that they say the lack of advertising is to save cash just shows where their confidence is. If they don't believe in the products themselves, the general public won't either.
