BlackBerry Q10 sales in the UAE on par with Samsung S4, says a senior Axiom official. The company CEO told Emirates24|7 that his company placed the largest single order for any BlackBerry phones ever for Q10 and they are still in short supply.
�It is the fantastic product and one of the two best selling product along with the Samsung S4,� said Faisal al Bannai CEO of Axiom.
�The Q10 sales have been phenomenal and much better than the all-touch Z10. We were so confident of the success of Q10 that we placed our largest single order of the phone ever since we started our relationship with the BlackBerry. Even then we ran out of the phones,� he said speaking during the inauguration of the BlackBerry�s first flagship store at the Dubai Mall in the UAE.
�There are plans to open more such malls in other key cities in the GCC. We are in discussion with BlackBerry with this regard. The process for a store in the UAE itself started about two years ago. The idea is also not simply to open a store anywhere and everywhere,� he added
BlackBerry Q10 hot favourite in UAE… on par with Samsung S4 - Emirates 24/706-22-13 08:35 AMLike 27 - Off the topic question, sorta as I'm holding my bb shares long as I believe the directions they are going. With that in mind, I'm trying to learn how to trade options to generate some income a little more regularly as I do have a kid to feed and mortgage to pay any suggestions a good material or site I can go to? If your in Vancouver I would love to buy someone a dinner to help teach and show me how you do options.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I got paper money setup with TD Waterhouse, but as soon as I logged in, I get a headache
Thanks and have a great weekend everyone.

What I do is sit down throw out my preconceptions of BlackBerry and assume things are more bearish than what I see.
Then I rebuild models based on that.
Either I am mad or the rest of the world is. Even in a bear case, still the figures come out telling me it is undervalued. I can't be that mad, can I?

- Credit Suisse somewhat negative. But what puts Blackberry in the spotlight will be A10 vs Iphone 6. Galaxy 4 is out but by November if Android doesnt and you het A10 vs Iphone it could really boost BB10 sales. Sure iphone will probably dominate possibly. But if iPhone has issues then some people might be open.
If the A10 will come out I think Blackberry has a chance to ride a popular wave up. Also I have NO expectations on the Q5 at all.

LAKE ORION, MI � Voluntary guidelines proposed in April by the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Admin. call for more stringent controls on potentially distracting features of in-vehicle infotainment systems.
But an official with one telematics firm thinks those rules, and some already on the books, may have the effect of creating more dangerous behavior behind the wheel.
�I�m not going to say distracted-driver guidelines are a bad idea,� says Kip Dondlinger, product manager for Garmin Automotive. �(But the) answer is not to just take this stuff away from the dashboard, because people are just going to keep�using their smartphone. And you're never going to stop that.�
Dondlinger is referring to NHTSA�s request that auto makers voluntarily block certain information from being viewable not only while a car is in motion, but also while at rest.
�One of the areas I disagree with NHTSA is that they want (certain features) locked out unless you are stopped and have the transmission in park,� he tells reporters at a recent Garmin technology showcase here.
�I think there should be some in-between point where some of this stuff is accessible to you, (such as) while you're stopped at a stoplight with just your foot on the brake.�
Dondlinger notes one feature of Garmin�s K2 concept telematics system, album artwork displayed on the gauge cluster while a song from the album is playing, would be discouraged under the new NHTSA rules.
�This album art? That's only allowed when you're giving people a list,� he says. �You can use album art to help them select from a list, but then it has to go away,� adding NHTSA deems artwork on constant display �too distracting.�
Dondlinger says with its telematics systems Garmin is striving to achieve �enough functionality,� a middle ground between giving drivers too much and too little.
With K2, which the Kansas-based company is pitching to OEMs for a �15 or �16 introduction, some information still is provided while the car is in drive, he notes.
For instance, drivers still can see the weather forecast, just not the entire weather map. This conciliatory mode was devised partially by following NHTSA guidelines but also by using Garmin�s in-house distracted-driving research.
To combat driver distraction, Garmin recently introduced a more natural way of giving directions on its higher-end portable GPS units, and expects the feature to filter down in a model year or two to its OEM-embedded products, such as Chrysler�s UConnect system.
Called Real Directions, the feature gives landmark-based guidance when possible.
�Instead of saying, �Turn right onto Main Street,� it will say �Turn right at the traffic light,� or �Turn right after Starbucks,�� Garmin Automotive spokesman Johan-Till Broer says.
�It�s the way I would give directions to you,� adds Dodlinger. �You don't have to know what 800 feet (244 m) is.�
With Real Directions, some footwork is required on Garmin�s part, as well as by data supplier Navteq, to make sure a sign for a business is easily viewable, and that the business hasn�t closed.
Broer says if a sign isn�t visible at a particular intersection, route guidance reverts back to traditional distance-based directions.
Another feature introduced on Garmin�s newest portable devices and bound for in-car use is the predictive myTrends, which learns a driver�s route.
Matt Munn, managing director-Garmin Automotive, says by predicting a driver�s behavior myTrends reduces the amount of time he must interact with the car, thereby lessening opportunities for distraction.
While it still has more market share on the portable-navigation side, Garmin is working to expand its presence in embedded products.
Besides its relationship with Chrysler, Garmin also is the telematics supplier to Suzuki and it recently inked a pact with Mercedes-Benz. Its products in models from those OEMs are available globally; India and Russia are two markets where Suzuki sells its SX4 model with Garmin�s embedded telematics system.
Roughly half of Garmin�s revenue comes from its automotive business, including embedded and portable devices. Garmin also supplies infotainment and navigation systems to the aviation, marine and motorcycle sectors, counting Bombardier, BMW, Harley-Davidson and Honda Gold Wing as customers.
Munn believes the future of in-car embedded telematics is the sharing of information between the center stack and gauge cluster, which is a feature of the K2 concept.
�Our vision in the OEM space is to really look at the driving experience with a more holistic approach,� he says.
�This is a good way to combat driver distraction,� adds Clint Steiner, director-sales and marketing, for Garmin�s automotive-OEM group. �You put the most meaningful things (on the gauge cluster) � phone call, next song, driving destination.�
Steiner says K2 marks the first time Garmin is using an operating system other than its own. He says the switch to an operating system by software firm QNX was necessary for the telematics company to become �a lot more scalable.�
Dondlinger says production versions of K2 will use Texas Instruments� OMAP 5 processors rather than the more common OMAP 4, to handle the sophisticated graphics of the system.
Dondlinger demonstrates features of the latest K2 concept, installed in a Dodge Durango and first shown by invitation-only at January�s Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas.
In the Durango, K2 uses a 10.4-in. (26-cm) center-stack capacitive touchscreen and a 12-in. (30-cm) gauge-cluster screen.
For some functions, such as local search, K2 requires a smartphone running the Garmin app be tethered to the car via Bluetooth, but navigation and GPS functionality is embedded.
K2 uses Nokia�s new city-model data that provides 3-dimensional views of cities, in some instances showing highly detailed buildings.
Other features include integration of all audio sources: CD, DVD, radio or off-board sources such as Pandora or Spotify; the ability to see contact information and photos from a user�s smartphone; and the integration of text messaging and email. For text messages, a K2 user receives a visual prompt of the message while tethered, and the contents of the message can be read to them.
More natural language for voice-recognition systems also is a K2 feature, as is the ability to configure K2�s in-car message center remotely.
K2�s center-stack screen has columns that represent a different tool.
�You can set it up to have whatever information is relevant to you, whether it�s calendar information that's coming off of your smartphone (or) email that's coming off of the smartphone,� Dondlinger says.06-22-13 11:31 AMLike 16 - Credit Suisse somewhat negative.

I learned options from some general searches online and much reading. I never had a specific book that I used. As an option "seller" we like to think of ourselves as an insurance provider taking on risk with corresponding premium float. This is a great way to generate income as long as company fundamentals remain your priority.

I still think the numbers will shock many, think of all the former BB owners who want back, those that are carrying an old unit and those who hate touch screens.06-22-13 01:08 PMLike 6
- I believe he is saying that it is the biggest order they have ever placed with BlackBerry not the biggest order that blackberry has ever received. It would be interesting to find out what their previous order sizes consisted of.

- They said, his company placed single largest order for Q10 to blackberry.
Previous 1 M order was the single largest order blackberry received in history
So both are different thing. However if this order is more then 1 M then blackberry might have announced earlier to boost up market sentiments.

- Yet another learning curve for me since I've recently moved back to the USA. Why are the carriers pushing out updates instead of BlackBerry? I can understand if there are a few items within the update expressly for and from the carrier, but shouldn't BlackBerry be pushing out the major software updates????06-22-13 02:49 PMLike 2
