- I have been a HUGE blackberry fan since my first blackberry phone (curve 8900) from 2009...I since brought the 9800, brought my wife the 9700....I then brought the 9860...I then brought the bold 9000 off ebay and used that for a while. Oh and let me not forget about the PB. Did I mention that I love blackberry.
I wanted a long time for blackberry 10 but in the end I couldn't see spending 200 bucks for the Z10. Blackberry is truly behind its competitors. The Z10 needed to be a phone on steroids not vitamins, and blackberry fell short of that. I new its a new platform....I know.....I know.....but that's no ones fault but blackberry. I brought the Droid DNA and after 2 days with the phone I understand why my friends and family laughed at me for sticking with BB for so long. Being a critical care nurse I use a lot of medical apps, blackberry always had few if none of the apps that I needed but I stuck with the phone because....well I loved and wanted to support the brand. When I started installing apps on the DNA...I was truly pissed that blackberry didn't give me this experience.
I know will get slammed for this post but I really don't care.....because I truly want blackberry to dominate, but they won't with this **** they are pulling. The Z10 needed to have a 1080p screen with some stupid crazy ppi, it needed to have 1.7ghz or more, hell 2.0ghz, and it needed to pay whatever it cost to get Netflix and Instagram....The truth is, average folks don't give a **** about security....they don't....I know they should, but they don't....
I'm so mad that I can't go any further.....but I'm mad because I want BB to crush everyone.....and they let me down....I know, who gives a **** what I think...and I know everyone will say, its not for everyone.....but BB can't afford this kind of talk, they can't.... I will continue to support BB via PB....and in 2 years if the platform is ready I will be one of the first to by one, but after this...I am very, very skeptical.
Kevin......the next time you interview Vivek or Gadeway...give them hell about specs, and creating a true super phone....Oh Kevin the next time you talk to Sauders......give him hell about apps. Blackberry should have all the supers apps that other phones have plus native super, super apps, nothing less. Ok let the hate begin.

Posted from my amazing Z1004-11-13 07:33 PMLike 0 - The Verizon rep here in CT who sold me mine last week said they have sold quite a few of them and some of the people who bought them were bringing their friends back into the store to see it. I had some very specific pre-purchase questions about the Z10 and he was very helpful. Even the manager and another rep came over to help and they were really trying to help answer my questions and kept mentioning things they learned from the Blackberry rep who came to train them. They were even grateful for the things that I knew about the phone that they didn't. We were talking about the Z10 and the Playbook, which I also have. They were extremely helpful and seemed to really like the phone. It was a really good experience. I really love my new phone.Whyareallthegoodnamestaken likes this.04-11-13 07:37 PMLike 1

- Success may refer to:
- a level of social status
- achievement of a goal
- the opposite of failure
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success.
If there are happy users of the Z10....could we really call it a failure?04-11-13 07:54 PMLike 0 - I have been a HUGE blackberry fan since my first blackberry phone (curve 8900) from 2009...I since brought the 9800, brought my wife the 9700....I then brought the 9860...I then brought the bold 9000 off ebay and used that for a while.

But the slamming starts before the phone is even tested. NO Apps.......it's not the phone!!!! it's not even BBRY, it's the BB rep. Yes, they caused it...but it was helped along the way by the business climate that exists today.
Specs are a great way to slam this device or any non popular device, but....... check out the HTC one....great specs, great device, low sales. end of story! consumers are sold phones........have you seen the Samsung marketing budget? Can you say that the device is flawless? Better or worse than BB, it has sold and will sell Millions of units. IT IS NOT THE PHONE. And BB cannot win by beefing up the phones specs or buying great apps.04-11-13 08:12 PMLike 0 - I came to the Z10 from an iPhone 4S, and I'm really enjoying my new phone. I have read a lot about it and maybe a thousand complains and comparisons, but know what? I'm having a great experience with the phone and the OS, and found on it a lot of things that I missed from BB on my 4S.
As personal experience with the Z10, mine have kept me busy for a week, no reboots, solid OS, average battery life (slightly better than my 4S), easy to handle, very solid operation...
So yes, from my personal experience with the Z10 I can consider it a success, specially when everyone that sees mine wants to get one...
And I don't really know what's going on in the US, but in my country it is selling very strong, with a pre-sale sold out in both mayor operators and very strong demand for the unit, and the Q10, right now.
And also a lot of customers coming from iPhone or Android, so not only a bunch of BB fans upgrading legacy devices...04-11-13 08:15 PMLike 4 -
- Sales figures...seriously.....how many have you seen in the wild?, how well is your local carrier promoting the Z10, how many posters have you seen, how many accessories does your local carrier or any store for that matter have, its obvious in my opinion just by being observant and not blind to the real USA world .....but I love my Z10 because I'm a Blackberry fan, but I'm not BLIND....are you?04-11-13 08:29 PMLike 0
- You should get all the iPhan's and Fandroid "Thanks" for that comment. Way to give a great boost to Blackberry,.. shee's are you a real Crackberry Genius. Makes me wonder???04-11-13 08:33 PMLike 0
- +100
A bust...dud..fail...like the playbook before it people here will be blind until Blackberry says: "We failed and did not put out a product loyal fans wanted" and then this site will be like...I loved it, no need to say sorry you did good...lol and then fire sale.04-11-13 08:34 PMLike 0 -
