Maybe the whole issue will be moot as it will be the "New BB10" in all touch or qwerty!

[Spencerdl]

I'm going with ZEE TEN or its about DAMN time

[bulls2213]

Am I the only American confused about this "zed" nonsense?

[shankeith]

i just caught my self saying it "zee 10", and im Canadian
zee 10 just rolls off the tongue, zed 10 doesnt sound very marketable.

[sydsam]

Don't be confused. It's a pronunciation of a letter. Just some stuff from the alphabet, totally ignorable.

[Phill_UK]

One thing's for certain, you won't hear any Brits calling it a Zee anything. Most of us have only used the Zee word three times in our lives... once while mocking Johnny Foreigner trying to say 'the', and the other two saying the name of that beardy rock band big in the 80's.
I have a solution to keep us all happy though... Thor should put on his best German accent and announce the phone as 'zee Zed 10'
Two birds with one stone. Sorted

I don't care what the rest of you all call it. For me it is zee ten

Johnny Foreigner

Must be a UK thing I don't understand LOL

[kbz1960]

LOL. Well if you can't put it out here PM me

[Phill_UK]

LOL. Well if you can't put it out here PM me

It's nothing bad
Just a term of endearment we use for anyone who's not a native Englishman. Probably where the film character Johnny English got his name.

[silversun10]

I say the Canadians and Brits call it the Zed 10, and the Americans call it the Zee 10. So long as we buy the phone, we should all have our way.

yeah, no problem, if somebody in the US buys a Zee, at the same time a Canadian can buy a Zed...

[wuulfy]

A phrase beloved by Harry Flashman and Bulldog Drummond. Totally spiffing chaps traveling the empire tupping the ladies and putting Johnny Foreigner in his place dont you know.

Its a victorian phrase, now used in a satirical and affectionate way.

[kbz1960]

LOL, nice. Even if it were a ribbing in a fun way that's cool too.

#1 this thread is crazy. #2 All this talk about the queen is making me sick and #3 its obviously ZEE10. Zed10 just sounds rU-tarded

[JasW]

Almost two-thirds of the world's native English speakers reside in the United States. Majority rules!

Or we can call it zeta diez, as they do in the rest of the Western Hemisphere outside of Canada and the U.S. That has a nice flow to it. Kinda like "cellar door." Zeta diez (say-tuh dee-ace).

[oilgeo10]

Zee 10, zed 10.... zeephone vs iphone, .... If it's a bust it will be the zero. Poor product name overall for marketing, Imo. Launched in NY, I can already see it's name getting played on in an SNL skit.! Hope that it's OS is so good that nobody cares about the phone name.
