- That is funny. Because all the employees of RIM were given 1 GB phones as trials for BB10. Why did they make those devices if they weren't going to work. Why were developers given BB10 on Dev Alpha devices if it wasn't going to function. BB10 and OS 2.1 are not that much different on the back end. All that is needed is to create libs for cascades and other GUI elements and BB10 would be there.05-15-13 12:08 PMLike 0
- I love my Z10 and I even love my PlayBook, but if I move to Japan this fall I will get a new Tablet and it will likely be an iPad mini. The PlayBook was great, but it hasn't received any updates in a while, it seems for gotten. The app selection isn't a huge consideration for me, but the app selection for the PlayBook is poor and it will not improve.
If bbry wants to sell me another tablet, they should make one!

post a video on youtube or take a snapshot.
the other user provided his screenshot and proof and most user agree with his take on it not being enough. you seem to be the odd one out.
time to shut everyone up with some pic or video right?Saiga likes this.05-15-13 04:52 PMLike 1 - Remember for the longest time though that the initial Dev A and B devices had Hub, among other settings like Phone functionality, locked out of the OS. At those times, with limited functionality, would the Dev units probably run fine with 1GB. That's been the big debate for the PB, among processor, is will it run fine without those core functions that depend on Cell-signal connection or are we stuck with needing 2GB like the Q5 shows?Thunderbuck likes this.05-15-13 05:20 PMLike 1
- Ask all the developers who had or have a Dev Alpha device which has BB10 and 1GB RAM if their device is a dog.Thunderbuck likes this.05-15-13 05:22 PMLike 1
- Are you just fibbing? Serious question. You're the only person I've ever seen make that claim. I know what my own personal experince is and I've seen countless other developers and even the staff of this website share similar experinces. Yet you still say 1GB phones will run the full BB10 os fine. Starting to make me wonder if you've ever used a BB10 device at all.
Like I've said, both of my retail BB10 devices boot up with less than 1GB of free memory. So how well would that work out on a Dev Alpha A or B? Certainly not "fine". Maybe your definition of fine is way different than most people's.05-15-13 05:34 PMLike 0 - 05-15-13 11:48 PMLike 0
- It seems like a poor business decision in the first place. It really couldn't have effected pb sales much since they were almost totally off the shelves when they announced it anyway. So why did they even agree to do this in the first place? Pouring a ton of cash and labor into something with zero return = a bad investment.

I'll admit, it didn't like having a lot of apps open, and the UI wasn't as smooth as the Z10s, but it was perfectly usable.

It takes literally seconds to snap a photo of a phone, but I guess that's too much to ask. It's ok, I'm sure he really has a magical 1GB Q10. Afterall, no one would ever tell a lie on the interwebs. Oh well

They worked just ok for freebies to devs. For people buying them as opposed to another phone...no way

You can take his word.

For those who are worried about performance, remember that the Dev Alpha A was essentially a shrunken 3G PlayBook. The OS that mine originally had was a dog that took 4 minutes to boot and looked just like OS2.1. BB steadily improved the OS, though, to the point that with the release version of BB10 boot time was down to a minute and overall performance was much better.
Personally, I think BB10 on the PlayBook is going to be missing a little functionality compared to the Z10, but it should still be perfectly usable.05-16-13 11:46 AMLike 0 -
Evidently, BBRY just cut into their own margins by wastefully equipping every retail BlackBerry 10 device so far with an extra GB worth of RAM. Even their mid-range option the Q5.
None of that changes the fact that both of my BB10 devices constantly use more than 1GB of RAM, so obviously, the full BlackBerry 10 experience needs more than 1GB of RAM to function properly. How can that even be denied at this point?
Turning on and somewhat working isn't the same thing as functioning properly. Thank the heavens that BlackBerry didn't go with just 1GB for consumer devices. It would have been a disaster.

maybe tried following the thread before you make stupid claim about rep or not.
also, new poster or not, does it matter. should i suck up to ppl with high post count? or their post matter more?
judging by your post count and your post quality i can clearly see the answer is no.05-16-13 12:50 PMLike 0 - I had a Dev Alpha A, and I was able to run the release version of BB10 just fine. Booted in about a minute.
