Z30 Announcement Event?

Hey everyone,

If the Z30 is coming soon, why hasn't BlackBerry announced a possible date to show off the new phone, and any new features in 10.2.

We need an Apple or Samsung like presentation, where Thornsten Heins avoids saying the word mobile computing a million times.

BB Jam asia would be my guess

Over the weekend I suppose.

I don't expect any big announcements at BBJam Asia given that the BBRY earnings call is the 27th and Heins always does that call from Waterloo. I can't see him making the trip there to Hong Kong to announce and getting back in time. And I can't see him not being there if it were to get announced on stage. And given that it is earnings week, I just can't see a product announcement right then. Would get mixed into all the earnings talk. Just not the right timing.

When is the right timing.

When would you do the annoucement?

I understand Kevin's logic, but considering all the leaks, announcing the Z30 in mid October seems like an agonizingly long wait.

I see your logic completely. Plus, yes, it's most likely going to be the case. I do have a thought though. Could announcing the Z30 while earnings are reported make the news half as bad? I know that's sounds stupid, but who knows, it may not be?

Plus doesn't Microsoft and Nokia have events around that time as well?
