Whole heartedly agree with you - perfectly put.
Hmmm, no, here's the 9790. Attachment 259048

I think and hope there is room for both.
I know on my desk there is. :-)
They said they are running a new production of the existing Bold. Not a new phone, just making more of an existing one.

In that case my apologies I made an erroneous assumption. But crux of my thesis still remains the same. They will produce either 9900 or 9790 (may be both if the deal was good enough) exactly same as it is currently with NO evolutionary improvement.

There's 2 existing Bolds though.

And that is perfect when you are selling into a market with a billion + people. Compared to North America who generally will only buy high end devices.

I have no problem with the continuation of OS7 if it still sells. Why waste all that years of good research and development effort? It was and continues to be a decent niche product for certain businesses. We still use them in many of the Canadian federal departments, and some people are still having their older Curves "updated" to the 9900s. I can see BB as a company folding before OS7 dies.
I like BB10 and am a satisfied owner of the Z30 but it in so many ways feels just like a carbon copy of iOS and Android, with fewer apps and features but a better messaging system and stock keyboard. It may as well be an Android skin. OS7 on the other hand really had a unique feel to it and there are several parts of it I do miss.
Yes. 9900's are everywhere in the corporate world....they buy them like candy. When I work with big company clients, they usually have a 9900 with them (and sometimes their own phone too.) Just watch live news report from a major network, occasionally you'll actually see one in their hand, or even on the news desk.
I've never seen a single BB10 product.....ever...except one guy at a bar at a hotel at Disney. That's it.
Z10's are cheap too so that blows that argument. Verizon is giving them away on contract.
The technology was the printer (that requires paper) vs. the electronic communications. People still want paper and printers even though it's old technology and they could move "forward" to something electronic only. Get it yet?
Companies never left printers...that's the whole point. Its old but still people want it. Get it yet?
Ha, that's hilarious. Desperate, but hilarious. How many Tesla's were sold last year, regardless of it's stock? Now, how many gas cars were sold last year? Stock price doesn't mean sales or demand. Get it yet?
Tesla is a luxury brand anyway, not really a good analogy to food, or printers or phones.
Depends where you are. I see Z10s and Q10s every morning on the Toronto subway. My last company had the BlackBerry 10 devices as the corporate standard moving forward, even over iOS.
I'm not suggesting that you aren't right overall, but that it really does depend where you are.
Of course....you are in Canada. Not really a surprise there. I bet you see more hockey than the rest of the world does too. Not knocking Canada or hockey, just saying that being in the back yard of BlackBerry doesn't mean your results are the same as the rest of the world.
9790 was not released in the US by any carriers that I remember. If any of this production is for the US then it will have to be the 99xx. If not then could use the 9790. Also I don't think the 9790 ever went through FIPS.

It will be interesting because after a chat with a someone from BB I asked about the OS7 thingy and go this: Probably no new design but one problem is that they got rid of all their OS7 software teams and also sold off the radio group......
You again.

Gas cars sold more because they're affordable. Not because people want it. It's prices. That's why BBOS7 still sells more than BB10. Cause you can get one for $60. And no. Stock price means projected growth and worth of the company. Get it yet?

And that stuff in the quote is mine. I didn't realize itd throw it in there.

Of course. That was my same point to you ... making the assumption that your experience is the same as everywhere else is silly.
Your right, yet again. The BD thread are always so entertaining! Top notch, very active and keeps me reading.
Regardless, if its a new device or if they just continue the production line on the 9900, bbos7 will live on for a few more years. I wish they would beef it up a bit, I realized that going to a dual or quad core isn't possible on that particular OS, but put in the biggest chipset available and the most amount of ram it can handle, it could be a very good device. Till recently the 9900 was still available to buy and was still fetching $600 + brand new with a 3 year old hardware.
You must have missed the part where BB reworked its deal with the manufacturer to make a cheaper Bold.

if BB would have kept BIS with BB 10...would have had been better for sale of BB10????
Surely the 9900 hardware parts are way cheaper after 3 years.
#believeinfilm
Ha, that's funny. How much is a Prius? A lot less than an Explorer. Which sells more?
Already addressed....just above. Z10's are FREE from Verizon. Still can't sell any.
BBOS7 WORKS. People know it. It has features that BB10 is still.......to this day....waiting to implement. THAT'S why it sells. For some, being cheap doesn't hurt either.
Key word: projected. Has nothing to do with actual sales or actual demand relative to an older technolgoy. Get it?
What was the point of the link? Other than to show that Telsa is making headway?
Yes!!!!
I LOVE my Q...however...the Bold OS7 UI is pretty nice.
Philosophically I want BB, in almost every way, to stand out a little, especially if they pursue being a niche device. This starts with the look of the screen, as you pass by it in a carrier store. Currently I walk by a Z30 in Verizon, and the app layout looks like...an iPhone. DO not get me wrong - I am not saying the OS, or the functionality - but the UI is very similar.
