Why BB10 will not save Blackberry

-Full HTML email. It looks like this may happen with BB10,as one of the videos shows the message editor with a rich text toolbar at the top.
what is so important or great to be the best mobile email device?
heck... how many people actually buy a product because they want their device to do email EXACTLY like how they use it on a pc.
my whole family bought Samsung.
why? because they want video calls. doesn't matter if it's through line or wifi.
because they want to be on social media.
the keyword is social media. it doesn't matter if its because of Facebook, twitter, skype or instagram. but to say rim will defunct because of email is just over the top.
9out10 smartphone in my family is a Samsung except mine. and NONE bought their android device because of security or email (to say the least).
and seriously? u guys thought email is the make or break of a product? get real.
if u want a product to be successful, give what the MAJORITY WANTS.
the rest are just bonus.

will we still get our emails almost immediately on BB 10 like we do on our blackberries right now?
or will our new emails arrive every 5-15mins?
If you currently get your emails instantly on BB7, you will get them instantly on BB10. No need to worry.

that explains the increase of sales for androids and iphones? lol, now i get it...
no wonder sales of androids and iPhone was increasing and the past BBs decreased. because they went to the stores and personally checked the phones for activesync. if the phone doesnt have activesync, they won't buy the phone.
of course activesync doesn't require 8mp camera, 1GB of ram and 1.5GH of processor. and the fact activesync doesnt need these specs, we shouldn't care less about smartphones specs when we buy a smartphone in the future. so, why are smartphones makers are racing to lead with all these specs i wonder.
now that u mentioned it,
that means activesync definitely drive the sales of smartphones now.
because majority wants email.
now i understand. and u firmly believe blackberry will flop if activesync is not included in the next BB10?
because that is what i understand with what the op says in the thread title.

I still think current BlackBerry's are the best device out there for ease of messaging, but the other platforms are offering features that the best mobile communication device should have, and my guess is BB10 will address that.
yes, i agree that activesync is important to some to make the business world go round but according to op, this is the MAIN reason blackberry will flop which is not even a valid and logical reason knowing that the sales of certain brand MUST lean towards the needs and wants of the majority.
op definitely is delusional.

Put another way, I can get a full day of heavy use outta my 'Berry, or 2-3 days under "typical" usage...
Stop.
I get on average 9.5 hours of what would be considered heavy use on my gnote. My wife consistently got 10-11 hours on her galaxy nexus, and now a solid 12 hours of heavy usage on her galaxy s3. We both have our devices constantly connected to our network provider with no wifi anywhere we go, and constantly communicate for our jobs. Sitting on our current daily drivers constantly (screen on throughout) gets us about 6 hours of screen time on average with usually about 20-30% remaining. There was a weekend we went to Florida to visit my sister and her newborn in which case both our devices lasted that entire weekend with no charge, albeit very little use. Anyway point is your exaggerating.

I watched a friend's LG Optimus lose 40% battery in under an hour on a train, and he had to keep it off most of the day. He now has a Bold 9790
I certainly agree to an extent. Not all devices are created equally. Which is why if battery is so important to a user they should be keen on those battery specifications before purchase.
Such the same could said about the 9900. When I used it briefly wasn't lasting me half the day in comparison to anything I have used since, but that's a known problem. And it's not a problem of BlackBerry, neither is it that of Android as a whole.

I own a 9900 and a s3, I can barely get 3-4 hours out of either. With screen on all 3 hours and full data consumption on 4g or lte.
The s3 is bigger has bigger battery and uses lte which is why it consumes more. The 9900 has a terrible battery size and can barely stay full screen turned on for more than 4 hours.
