Switching from iPhone 5 to BlackBerry Z10

I might buy a Q10 for my wife in next 6 months.. or a slider once BB release.. I am in New Delhi(India) and every second day, I see a iPhone 5s/c ad in newspaper but NO BlackBerry ads.. What's wrong with them!! Are they scared of marketing their beasts ? Yes - beasts! I am sure Mr.Chen must be having a marketing plan on his drawing board otherwise, he might have a similar end like Thorsten Heins.. The influx of iPhones is just getting higher in India despite of the price.. it costs 54,000 INR for 16GB which is way too high.. and a Z10 costs 31,000 INR which is just right..

they did poor marketing since the start and vanished completely once they were searching for strategic options. Now they aren't up for sale and should be setting course to success...

I agree Dave.. and what about Alicia Keys engagement with BlackBerry.. A BIG let down.. They just wasted their money(=time) with her. Mr.Chen seems to be a smart investor and he will scrutinize, calibrate every single move in this BlackBerry maze now. The first and foremost point in their agenda should be educating the potential buyers about the benefits of BlackBerry 10 which they haven't done so far.
