    Do you agree or disagree with this assessment of the Z10's chances?

    Facing Galaxy S4 and iPhone 5S, BlackBerry Has Opportunity of a Lifetime in 2013 | The Gadget Masters

    Samsung�s Galaxy S4 and its launch event last week were widely considered to be underwhelming. From gimmicky features to a sexist stage performance, it appeared people in North America simply expected more. In fact, many people consider the Galaxy S4 to be simply a S3S. However, it is hard to blame Samsung, since there is only so much the company can do without Android 5.0.

    Apple Unlikely to Wow Anyone With iPhone 5S

    Meanwhile, Apple is unlikely to wow the audience with its upcoming iPhone 5S. In addition, the smartphone is expected to launch in August, which gives the Z10 about 5 more months to pick up momentum.

    Samsung�s Marketing Dollars Will Be Split Between Android and Tizen Products

    Samsung is likely a bigger threat to BlackBerry, since the company is very active in countries where BlackBerry has significant sales � Asia and Europe. However, with the company readying to launch Tizen smartphones in the third quarter, its formidable marketing machine will be divided. Some of Samsung�s marketing dollars will have to go towards educating customers about Tizen, leaving less for its Galaxy line. Depending on Samsung�s commitment towards Tizen, the company�s Galaxy marketing dollars could be reduced by 20%-33%...

    I'd agree if it was talking about windows. The Z10 isn't much better than the s2

    Hilarious. I came from an S2 and it's junk compared to the Z10.

    if i didn't know any better i would have thought some CB user wrote that article. basically repeated whatever the users in this forum been saying.

    S4- underwhelming, gimmicky etc etc
    iPhone - boring, wont wow etc etc

    the only problem with this is just because the other two didn''t wow people, doesn't mean z10 did. most people will probably still pick those 2 over z10.

    Until z10 can deliver what people want, mainly app, then forget about "wowing" people.

    I don't agree...

    Samsung has momentum. Plenty of people will purchase the S4 and some won't look at the Z10 over the S4 just off specs alone.

    As far as the iPhone 5S....I don't think it's fair to say it won't wow. It's not out yet nor has anything been leaked. That's like all the people that said BB10 wouldn't wow before it came out. Whether it's correct or not, I don't think think it's fair to say this early

    The S2 has jellybean (4.1) Bigger screen. More robust app selection. It's cheaper. If rooted, can be faster. My opinion, it's in the same class as the z10.

    blackberry just needs to Wow people with their advertisements. i have a friend who saw the htc dna commercial and said, "i want that!"

    when i asked why he said, "because it comes with wireless charging!"

    then i said to him, "well everytime u pick it up to use it whether its to text, facebook, play games or talk on the phone its not charging. so really i would say its less useful." he got mad because i killed his dream but he agreed it makes sense. i doubt that will sway him tho. hence why bb needs huge bucks for ads of all sorts!

    It really does come down to personal preference, though some people will argue. What I like is choice. I don't want Android and Apple to go away, because that would hinder innovation. Why do you think the Z10 is here? Because it was necessary to keep pace. We win with an updated OS and really great phone. For me, the Z10 is actually more than I expected and I'm loving every minute of it's use.

    BlackBerry Just schooled apple and Samsung and leapfrogged them.

    While those guys are still at i5 and G4, BlackBerry is at 10 showing all who's boss.

    I have used iPhones, Android phones, and BlackBerry. Each has it's unique way of doing things. BlackBerry10 is based on QNX which brings it a lot of potential. We are just seeing the beginning.

    I switched from the galaxy. It is a great android phone, easily the best but I like the Z10 way better though. Less glitchy, more responsive, and I enjoy the OS better. I miss all my Android apps though, but it is manageable.
