Is the Z10 launch tracking the Playbook launch...
The arch seems to be trending the same:
� Hardcore fans flock to it;
� The press is mixed, but mostly positive;
� The platform lacks apps;
� Version 1 has bugs;
� Defenders shout down any dissenters even if they are blackberry lovers;
� Defenders scream at the top of their lungs that it�s the best in class;
� Any issues w/ the device/software must be the users fault;
� Crashes, freezes;
� No sales figures;
� Most of the apps are still ported;
� Acknowledged issues will be dealt with sometime in the future;
� Availability limited or no show in the US;
� Constant comparisons to being better than iToy even though the numbers don�t bear it out;
� Complaints that android is buggy and filled w/ malware even though its your only route to apps;
� Claims that QNX is the best and powers nuclear power stations even though the phone requires battery pulls or security wipes or software re-installs.
Here�s a link to the Playbook Forum... tell me how this doesn�t track Z10... practically comment for comment. Read every 100 pages or so to get the flavor:

I see way too many similarities than I do differences. I hope I�m wrong come 3/28 when earnings are announced.

Yup. Totally agree.
Some similarities, many differences

Really?? The app argument again?? 70000 is not enuf for a start?
� Version 1 has bugs;
Ok, not to point fingers, but was there not just a 7yr old OS update causing all sorts of issues with security ect?
� Defenders shout down any dissenters even if they are blackberry lovers;
Happens across all platforms
� Defenders scream at the top of their lungs that it�s the best in class;
see above
� Any issues w/ the device/software must be the users fault;
most of my issues I have found to be my issues with how I was doing things.
� Crashes, freezes;
no battery pulls yet - have had a few freezes, but can always reset the OS without any problems - no restarts/batt pulls
� No sales figures;
Holy Crap - it's been like 3 weeks -
� Most of the apps are still ported;
Ok - Not enuf apps, now ported apps are not good either - what an OS - BTW can any other platform do this?
� Acknowledged issues will be dealt with sometime in the future;
how else can you fix things - I have been trying to fix problems in the past, but I keep running into myself. Hard to know where to look when that happens - very awkward.
� Availability limited or no show in the US;
Carrier Testing - mmmm.
� Constant comparisons to being better than iToy even though the numbers don�t bear it out;
again - holy ****e - it's been 3 weeks
� Complaints that android is buggy and filled w/ malware even though its your only route to apps;
again with the apps????
� Claims that QNX is the best and powers nuclear power stations even though the phone requires battery pulls or security wipes or software re-installs.
QNX is a very good OS . the only reason I think people keep pointing at a battery pull, is it seems to be the easiest way to restart - I think that most issues could be solved by looking at the symptoms and following them to the Problem. But its just easier to pull the battery. Another analogy would be to look at automobiles, they all break, they all need maintanence, even the Bentley has issues.

Nothing is going to be good enuf for the short sellers - the manipulation that the US Stock market is doing is criminal - BBRY is just the latest in the long list of manipulated stocks. I wonder why Wall St doesn't want regulations, it interferes with profits. :cant-watch:
