Can we stop lying to ourselves?
- I don't use WhatsApp, so no. And did I ever mention them?
Your reply misses the point, anyways.
People like you are an endangered species. You already have a BB. Those people that don't, won't get one because of what you're going on and on about, cause they don't care about that.

I'm not an endangered species, there will always be people like me. Sure, I'm part of a minority, but a minority that will exist forever.01-30-14 12:42 PMLike 0 -
Pretty sure I said most people have "moved on from email as a primary source of communication."
The difference matters. Don't get it twisted.
People doing business are using messaging services more and more. They can be archived like email, etc. As well and there are clear advantages to IM over email. I'm not talking about services like WhatsApp. I'm talking about Lync, Hangouts on Google Apps for Business, Skype for Business, BBM, etc.
When your Company uses a Microsoft stack or Google services you can avoid email in a lot of situations, because the products have a ton of collaboration features built in.
Of course if I have to send a resume, I will email it. That makes sense. I've never said I don't use email, and I'm on the other side of this argument... I will say that my use of email is extremely minimal.

I'm growing tired of the phenomenon here where people repeat what you say with substitutions.
Don't tell me what I said, quote me.

It's something BlackBerry needed to contractually follow through with. There's been nearly no marketing of the handset and it's overpriced in relation to the specs.
No manufacturer ever releases a new flagship with lower specs than the previous one. Certain parts of the community were hoping for a progression. The Z30 definitely was not.
The only thing we can do is hope for improved successor to the Z30 but that's not on BlackBerry's agenda right now.
Posted via CB1001-30-14 02:01 PMLike 0 - Totally disagree. I have the z30 on the latest OS. It is fast, smooth, and I went 48 hours with 2 hours to spare. That is unbelievable. And I use my device everyday for both work and play. PS now that the app gap is gone, the latest iphone has nothing on this device. To put the average iphone in perspective, you would have to charge it 6 times to equal my 1 charge. WOW!

The screen is completely sub par when comparing it to the competition. Is that what you want in a premium priced phone? There are plenty of phones with better screens with great battery life. Who is honestly going to say "Well I'm looking for a phone with a mediocre at best screen so I can get good battery life". They will expect more since it's priced as a flagship. If it's priced like a flagship phone then it should be held to the standards of a flagship phone.

- I think the only point that the OP made that I am in agreement with is the part about demanding the best from BlackBerry. That I think is key. We should not embrace any shortcomings about their devices but not bash them either. What's been mentioned in many posts before is that no phone is perfect, but we as the crackberry community can help sight problems and help BlackBerry rectify them.

It's the exact same reason z30 users don't complain about their screens compared to that of a z10...

Battery isn't a major problem for iPhone users. If my device dies after 10-12 hrs (heavy use), i can charge it via mophie.

Posted via CB1001-30-14 05:25 PMLike 0 - What? You honestly make no sense lol. Screen size is a personal preference. Bigger isn't always better and smaller isn't always worse. Some people like a small screen and some prefer a big screen. But I guess by your logic the Z30s screen is crap when compared to the Note III's or Lumia 1520's screen just since it's smaller. (And for the record, both of those screens are better than the Z30, but size has nothing to do with it)

The battery on the iPhone is smaller yet I don't see people whining
Posted via CB1001-30-14 05:27 PMLike 0 - Well exactly! Bigger isn't always better... you could just the same apply that logic often when discussing spec... what at this point is the deal with an octocore rather than a quad-core? I mean thats where the original discussion came from.

But the Z30s chipset is a year old and scores quite poorly on benchmark tests. The screen and camera are both less than adequate. People expect more from a premium priced phone.

Well shift to the iPhone... for a premium phone I expect bigger screen, bigger battery and an octocore ....oh and definitely would love that it matches the cameras on the Lumia....
Posted via CB1001-30-14 05:55 PMLike 0 - Scores poorly on benchmark test yet when I used it it was fantastic... the screen looks good when I used it and the camera I definitely agree needs improvement but only in dark areas(without the use of flash).

Anyways I'm done with this. I use a z30 and hands down imo it's the best phone out there. Apart from the camera, no spec could really make it better for me as of right now. Infact I plan on buying one when I have the money. Didn't want to give it back when I got my hands on one

Android doesn't need Quadcores as well.
Windows Phone falls in the same ballpark.
But what differentiates a high-end phone from a mid-ranged one?
Right, better hardware and maybe better build quality.
It's totally irrelevant, if the same OS is used, or not.
The newest Lumias utilise the same hardware as the newest Android flagships.
1080p, quadcores, an 330 Adreno GPU and 2 GB RAM.
IIRC, the consensus in here was, that WP is so optimised that it doesn't need those specs.
Why does Nokia use them now?
Because of the so called market segmentation.
A high-end phone, with a high-end pricetag, needs high-end hardware.

I could care less about cores. QNX runs great that is obvious to anyone using it. Perhaps in another year or two this will be needed but for current software builds it's silly. If you don't believe me encrypt your phone and notice how there is no difference in speed anymore.
It seems to me that memory is the bigger deal with QNX. So perhaps we should demand more memory on our phones.
Posted via CB1001-31-14 08:28 AMLike 0 -
From what I've read, the answer is mostly yes.
But since I am no dev, I am sure that some people will be able to answer that question to your full satisfaction.
That doesn't change the fact of Android and WP officially supporting such display resolutions, which puts BlackBerry at a disadvantage.

A 64 bit dual core CPU is good as well.
But in the segment BlackBerry competes in, at least pricing wise, a 1.5 year old CPU clearly doesn't cut it.
What still is acceptable for a mid-ranged device, is a no-go in the high-end segment.
No matter if needed or not, for 600$, a top notch CPU/GPU has to be in the phone you sell.
Even Apple knows at least that much about the market.
Their GPUs have always been market leading, and especially the new 64bit CPU is groundbreaking, in terms of Apple being the first to market once again.
If memory is a bigger deal or not, is once again something I do not really know...
The Samsung Note 3 has 3GB of RAM though.
So yes, BlackBerry could probably use more RAM as well.
If you mean memory, as in 16GB of storage not being enough....
I'd probably say that I have a 64GB memory card anyhow.
