Oh, gee....is that all? And here I thought it was a communications device. Silly me!
I am buying mine tomorrow, and got to play with 1 today!
Since I have never used a touch phone before for more than 2 minutes, I had no bad habits to unlearn.
Quite honestly, I did not find it had much of a learning curve(it was quite elementary). Maybe if you use other phones constantly and are already used to doing things a certain way.
Pretty much any time I have heard of a new phone coming out, I hear the initial complaints of features, and then they fix it with a simple patch a week later. I don't see how this will be any different
At the end of the day, there are 2 types of technology users. Those that like to be on the bleeding edge and those that like solid performance with little fuss. Early adopters will buy in and enjoy the process of trial and error, of patches and development. They can appreciate the "bones" of QNX and imagine what is to come. Others need the device to work well from day one, their jobs, and their lifestyle don't afford the opportunity to live with growing pains. There are very mature ecosystems out there now, and convincing the latter group to jump ship on day one is a fools errand and one that is likely to backfire. Likewise, those in the latter group should not buy a Z10 this week or even this month, they are bound to be disappointed. I don't see what purpose is served by bashing others on either side. Early adopters are right to love the device. It has promise, and that is what early adopters love. Those that appreciate a no fuss mature ecosystem and platform are right to believe this to be half baked at this point. It is.
I LOVE YOU MAN! People should know exactly what they getting into before they do.
People will always complain and never get satisfied even if what they get is near perfect. That's human nature! Doesn't bother me though, getting the Z10 with/without all the bugs. yay! LOL
How many developers wanted to invest in a system until they saw it actually drop? Some did, of course, but a significant investment needs to have a firm release, and for a while, it didn't look like it would make it out.
lol I wonder why ;)
I still don't understand how many apps you could possibly need that makes it such a concern. It is a phone!!! Im 25 and the only apps i care about are Facebook, twitter, goal.com & games to fiddle with when im on the bus or something (im in UK). Other apps i need like maps are inbuilt already. I understand that you may have more needs & some apps we're used to are missing, but the phone works fine, its beautiful, i get my mail and use documents to go. Great mobile computing. What do I need a billion apps for when the fone can only take about 20 anyway? :confused:
I think you need to be aware that you are on the bleeding edge of technology buying a mobile device on its launch. Yes there is a shortage of relevant apps, no Skype, or Whatsapp, both of which are really relevant in our business. Yes I am concerned about the battery life. But the beauty of our world is, if you don't like it send it back. You did not like it, thats fine. I had a crowd of 10 people in the Admirals Club last night watching an improptu demo (not that I can do that much, but i CAN navigate well after 2 days with the device) and people stopping me in the airport asking what that phone was. And the consistent comment was," I am blackberry, I will buy that". Now at the same time I am rocking a Note and a Sony ZL, so don't take me for a fanboy. But there is a niche for this device and there are people who want it, and lets let the water find its own level. Comments by the OP about another one going back are really not relevant, sorry mate, but your personal problem with the device is... your personal opinion, no more, no less. Carry on.
What a sorry *** troll. Why don't you go to all existing forums for the products you consume and bash everything you don't like.
How does giving his views make Dianod a troll? WTF are forums for?
nj, have you used it on a bb10 device? The reviews are full of comments like "doesnt' work on bb10" "doesn't work" and "what a load of #$@*"
Appreciate constructive and factual input on the new OS which clearly is not delivering.
It always pays to watch an OP's follow-up comments. That's how you can tell if they're being sincere or malicious. I was willing to give the OP the benefit of believing the z10 just wasn't right for him/her (meaning, not everyone). But this last post was deliberately ridiculous, and now I see your true colors.
I will not get one until whatsapp, bloomberg, bb travel,idos and some other apps are here. My 9900 is an efficient monster and is the best phone on the market for messaging as a whole and no phone handles whatsapp as well either. Nobody is going to buy that phone if it doesn't have things like whatsapp here in Europe. That is how I communicate with all my friends in different countries and most of my friends back in the USA.
I'd use a curve 9320 instead of a z10 until it gets these abilities.

Windows phone is actually pretty good. I have one and I like it apart from not yet having Spotify. Was set on a Z10 until today and think I'll just stick with my iOS WP 8 combo for now.

Does this mean their is no receipt for a Z10 as per post #33 above, I'm confused. ;)
You got it! Check the postings in multiple threads. I don't get that. ;)
LOL, everyone keeps saying BB10 is the first iteration without realizing that it took Blackberry three years to work on it. So yes they had time to perfect it, but fell short of a few things.
PB all over again!
Storm 2? We're talking about "Z10's" here! As a longtime blackberry user I've always hated the Storms also.
how does this even make sense? another typical answer to bash another company not naming BB. why didn't u say they got 2000 fart apps also then
the OS is just the OS. tell me how the OS can play angry bird without the angry bird app. or edit my doc without doc to go app? somehow the OS can magically make things work without app?
is it all about app. dont install any app and tell me how great your OS is.
I have to ask, do you intend to stalk all posters around the internet if they post something you don't like about BB10 in the hopes of catching them in some Perry Mason AHA moment? This isn't the first thread you've done this in, and it's rather chilling towards the purpose of a forum.
It's a little over the top over a cell phone, don't you think? People are allowed to be unhappy with the Z10. In my opinion I don't think the OP has given it enough time, but I'm not going to sleuth around the internet to try to catch him in some elaborate lie. That's a little creepy.
Perhaps that might be the real reason USA has to wait? Iphone was released that wouldn't work when you held it. Yet zillions were sold in spite lots of bad press. Blackberry has complaints about so many things! Some material. Key apps. that are missing has been disclosed By Blackberry, including info that they are in progress.
Blackberry has released phones for reviewers. Many didn't try to learn how to operate them! Z10 is NOT an iphone!
One commentator called 30 stores and quoted results. Unfortunately he mostly called same chain!
Good luck BB.
USA user early adopter who wants Z10 so badly!
A post like this indicates you have little or no experience in the development and release of technology.
In every release cycle, there is a give and take on what must be fixed before release and what will have to wait for a patch cycle.
Furthermore, not everyone uses every feature. There are inevitably issues that arise after a device is in broad use that are never seen in testing. The real key is how quickly those issues and gaps are now addressed.
I'm pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic.
To the Crackberry Master sleuth - is it OK with you if I changed my mind and decided to go for one after all - or if you post something on this forum you're bound by it for ever - come on - chill out a bit - life is not one big conspiracy - people change their mind - and just because one user, i.e. me , didn't like my Z10 is it really such a big deal?
Peace!
Why not? People want to read about the good and the bad. This is how we make choices or not?!
The learning curve is similar to the BlackBerry PlayBook but the Settings menu layout mirrors existing BlackBerry smartphones since BlackBerry OS 6. I will admit the BlackBerry Z10 has a better virtual keyboard than the BlackBerry PlayBook. Does anyone know if separate BlackBerry IDs can be used for the Personal and Work profiles of BlackBerry Balance? I am setting up my BlackBerry Z10 as a personal smartphone while waiting to hear whether a BES data plan is required for full functionality of BlackBerry Enterprise Service 10. If I can only use one BlackBerry ID, I will probably use the same BBID as used for my professional-use BlackBerry PlayBook.
