- At MWC, it sounded to me like they just made the decision. If JC had been on the job for 3 months and spent time learning about smartphones and listening to customers then they couldn't have made the decision much more than a month ago. I would imagine that design would take months. Someone has to figure out if the screen will be square like they speculated on the Crackberry podcast. And if so, then how are they going to get Android emulation working on a square screen. It's a fairly significant software and hardware redesign and I'm not sure that they could do it in a year from the time that you make the decision.03-08-14 08:53 AMLike 0

- Maybe Chen told his staff heads will roll if anything leaks... followed by a disarming joke and that affable laugh.

Screen Timeout app - keep your BB10 screen awake as long as you need03-08-14 03:09 PMLike 0 -
- JC, in recent Bloomberg interview, was saying that he wanted the Q20 out yesterday, but recognized that he had to satisfy the 9900 customers (his words).
I saw a similar article wherein he was saying similar things such as restoring the classic functionalities and UI on the BB10 platform takes a longer time.
I do not think the hardware would take much longer time even with the addition of the "tool belt". Look at the Jakarta. It was out fast.
To me, the classic functionalities/UI is more important than the tool belt. If I hd to choose between the two, I would pick those "little moments of delight", including the "real" keyboard shortcuts etc. PIM functions were also organically integrated too.
Sounds like he has a complete grasp of the past issues, and very eager to show what he is doing now. Very encouraging.
He has been getting earful of whining from the enterprise clients anyway :-)03-08-14 06:45 PMLike 0 - JC, in recent Bloomberg interview, was saying that he wanted the Q20 out yesterday, but recognized that he had to satisfy the 9900 customers (his words).

- From the pictures or renderings so far that I've seen of the Q20, I am beginning to think the screen size will be only slightly bigger than the Q10 - much the same as the Q10 screen was only slight bigger than my 9900. At least that's what it looks like to me. I sincerely hope I am wrong.03-11-14 03:17 PMLike 0

I sincerely hope the next Q device will have a noticeably more impressive screen (my Z10 's screen I love - yes I know attaching a keyboard to that would be impractical)Bure03 likes this.03-12-14 10:44 AMLike 1 - Going from my 9930 to the Q10 was a noticeably bigger screen. Moving up from the Q10 to the Q20 will most likely be the same experience. 3.5" diag will be a nice size. Please dont turn this thing into a multimedia phablet. Those are already out on the market. Keep it as an optimum size professional messaging device with adequate display size without being a phablet. Tnx, Wolfxanadome likes this.03-12-14 11:15 AMLike 1
- Yes there was slight increase in size from the 9900 to the Q10 - was it impressive? Not in my opinion. Of course going back to the 9900 you would see a difference - it just did not make me say wow.

I for one don't want the device to become unwieldy and a keyboard that is too wide is actually harder to type on since it'll take more effort and time from key to key...

- The answer is because BB's marketing in the past revealed products to early and consumers no longer wanted to wait.. the whole alicia keys marketing and then the product didn't launch for a long time resulted in consumers getting flustered and disappointed. Chen is smart and wants people to buy the product at the peak of the consumers burning desire to own a new BlackBerry Q20.
