- When people buy phones, they always compare specs first. If you lack app supports, you need to win the spec war because it's the only way you can stay in the game. If BB lose this spec war along with your apps supports, BB would be out of business.
Nobody expects BB to stay in business when they lose in every area.07-11-13 08:01 AMLike 6 - If this is the screen that will be on Aristo's competition this Winter, then BB better price it right this time, as a bigger Z10 (mid-range phone)

BB phone users know a lot about Iphones and android phones but I can't say that android and apple fans know a lot about BB. When you're in a BB land, how do you convince people that BB phones are good so that they can buy BB phones when BB don't win in app and hardware department?07-11-13 08:24 AMLike 0 - I'll tell you why. When you buy what many people use, you don't care what the specs are because they assume that the specs are good. It's people's mentality about a brand name.

You wouldn't buy a new phone if it were not better than your current one? Am I right? If people didn't *compare* 2 phones, how would they know which one is better?07-11-13 08:42 AMLike 0 - Why are there always people here at CrackBerry that believe, as if it's gospel, anything BGR says? And then go and crap all over BlackBerry because of some third rate "journalism" by some half wit moron.
As Bla1ze said, there are currently several different versions of the A10, with several different hardware options. Even if he's not right, BlackBerry themselves have not said ANYTHING about specs for the A10, so why are people saying the A10 is DOA when they have no actual numbers to go by for this device?
FFS calm down a bit and stop going flying off the handle because of some "report" on a tech site which openly admits they hate everything BlackBerry.
Si.07-11-13 08:44 AMLike 4 - You enter a no spin zone. Only a fool thinks that people don't compare specs between 2 phones before deciding to buy a better one. What made you purchase an iphone 5 or HTC one over iphone 4 or another phone? People's decision to compare the specs between 2 phones is made at a "subconscious" level before purchasing a new phone.

So do consumers know exactly what's in their phones spec wise.... probably not exactly. But you know who does??? the guy they buy their phone from... and this person knows that BlackBerry would be putting out something that's been done before. They need to give people something to be excited about, they need to give something tangible for those who will be selling their devices to brag about and as great as BB10 is, it lacks the conveniences consumers are willing to do without unless they feel they were sold something amazing and future proof. Just my 2 cents...
Posted via CB1007-11-13 08:53 AMLike 0 - And again. If it is a spec that isn't going to change the users experience, why have it. Consumers need to be educated and not led like sheep. 1080 isn't better for consumers.
And not all reviewers are playing the spec game. They know when something is useless. Why buy a phone with an inferior display?
BlackBerry has enough going n against them regarding ecosyste at least make the specs current instead of a year behind to increase there margin.
BlackBerry is already a hard sell as is why make it more difficult with inferior hardware

I think the camera on the Z10 is very good at times, but it's still well behind the times compared to apple, samsung, and HTC. For this being the best of the best in the lineup, you would think that BB would throw everything and the kitchen sink into the phone.07-11-13 08:59 AMLike 0
- Your eagle eyes can actually perceive the pixels on a screen that small in order to justify the battery life drain, processing power drain etc?
1080p on a mobile device to me is like crowing about LTE when you don't have LTE in your area, bragging about a 13 megapixel camera when all you do is post on Facebook or jeering devices that are less than quad core when you can't produce an app that makes use of the power.
I do think specs matter in terms of the smooth experience and operation of a device. But some people get hung up on specs for the sake of getting hung up on specs ... and never actually make use of said specs.grover5 and Prince_Poppycock like this.07-11-13 09:01 AMLike 2 -
If the A10 launches with these rumored specs, what reasons will sales people or websites have to recommend it? The app selection on BlackBerry 10 is still terrible. I don't see that changing before the A10 launches. And these rumored specs are worst than what free on contract phones will have at that point.
Seriously, I bet the Droid DNA is free on contract by the time this A10 launches for $200. Do we really think a Verizon Wireless sales person will tell a random coustomer to buy the A10 over their own branded phone that is free on contract and has a better ecosystem and better specs? Not a chance.
EDIT
Wow, I just checked. The Droid DNA, which blows away the A10's rumored specs is only $49.99 with a new contract from Verizon. Lol, BlackBerry just doesn't get it.

- There you go. Someone who doesn't even try the device before making a decision. I bet you buy your cars without taking a test drive either. How do you know it is slow? And if it is as fast as an iPhone 5s with less specs, why would you buy the other one just for specs?
And some will go on line and just look at the specs that each device has listed and then compares the prices and the ratings... right now BB is ok on ratings, but pricing and specs both will cause them to loose out most of those sales.
I've really never seen anyone go in and ask to borrow a phone for a day to just give it a test drive. Have seen people bring back a phone they didn't like...07-11-13 09:23 AMLike 0 - And again.

Id be interested to know - How many "tweens" walk in to Verizon and give a d@mn about specs.
You would have a tough time convincing me that every person with an S4 can tell you what processor it has.
My bet, they want to know if it has Instagram and Snapchat... (Still doesnt help BB)

You said that z10 is the best smartphone for you. Please define your "best smartphone" here. Are you aware that BB's "best smartphones" don't sell too well? Your definition of "best smartphone" is lousy.
May you tell me camera specs for z10 and iphone 5?Mr.Willie likes this.07-11-13 09:36 AMLike 1 - LOL. Will anyone be surprised if the specs are the same with minimal variations from what has been listed(or same/equal to the Z)........and will consumers still buy it? This time around, I'll pump the brakes and see what BlackBerry does to entice consumers to buy it. If not, I'll stick with my Z.07-11-13 09:40 AMLike 0
- What is important to me is how well the A10 functions, and how much battery life I can get per charge. My only problem with BlackBerry is their Bluetooth functionality is not stellar. I use Bluetooth all the time, which is one of the reasons the A10 would fit the bill for me, as I seldom/hardly ever hold the phone, and when I do never for long, so using a Bluetooth is perfect for me, or would be if BlackBerry would improve/perfect the Bluetooth reception or functionality. I love my Z10. My Bluetooth experience with the Z10 is the only thing that bothers me about it. I don't believe this problem is limited to the Z. To be honest I have not researched this, just speaking from personal experience with the Z. I get crackles after a long conversation, and sometimes I have to hang up and call back the person cause the reception is that bad (unfortunately I have long conversation often, so this aggravation is very noticeable for me). Luckily these are personal calls, cause if these were otherwise, I would no longer have a BlackBerry phone. Anyway I figure BlackBerry will fix this aberration at some point (hopefully sooner rather than later would be nice). Anyway, back to the A10. I would love/welcome that extra screen size on the A10 for surfing, or just for the pleasure of viewing in general. Even if all/or most everything else would be like the Z (that would not bother me). I have a 30" monitor on my PC, and I love the bigger screens. You kind of get used to certain things after awhile. Been loving my Z, but looking forward to more love for the A. I'm not saying that the A10 would become a big seller or is necessarily the way to go for BlackBerry. Just saying that I will purchase it when it comes out, and of course it would be a bonus if BlackBerry can have great success with it, or at least enough success to keep BlackBerry an option for those of us who love their products. Keep it going BlackBerry. Maybe someday BlackBerry can have their own stores, and sell great phones to people from knowledgeable sales people who love the BlackBerry products! That would be Stellar/Perfection! Here's looking forward to your own stores someday BlackBerry!!! Make it happen BlackBerry. Dreams are important, and so are goals. I BELIEVE.07-11-13 09:47 AMLike 0

The only thing I think it could be is that they may be waiting for the super bowl to come round again drop another advert or if there smart just use the same advert (put an A10 in the guys hand) and then kick back watch the success....07-11-13 09:47 AMLike 0
