I confess to no small amount of virtual foot-stomping and pouting over the delay, as if in culmination of years of waiting, waiting, waiting. But the Q&A made me feel better, and the Z10 really, really is looking better and better and will definitely be my first non-qwerty phone ever. Not saying I won't go to the Q10 when that comes out, but I am already signed up for that date in the not too distant future when it will be available in the US. I was badgering a stand-up guy who works for BB, complaining and whining about the delay, as if he hadn't a clue himself. I'm just a user and a disproportionately avid fan and the waiting is hardest part. It must be torture for people who work for BB, but this guy was, while acknowledging the unfortunate delay, enthusiastic and ultimately convincing. As the reviews began to trickle in, in my sour mood, I was jumping on the negative ones, but even there, correcting for historical bias, between the lines there was a begrudging acknowledgement that the Z10 is not only a competitive device, but a new and distinct one that may have just pushed the virtual keyboard envelope, no small thing at all. And then there were some really positive reviews from formerly unlikely sources which turned the corner. As I sampled the press coverage since the launch, even with negative coverage focused on the delay, the subtext, which is likely more meaningful in the long run than the delay headlines, was that the frustration is exacerbated precisely because the Z10 is an actual BB Object of Desire! So when it finally comes, some people might recall all the fuss and feathers ruffling now and recall it as something definately worth looking into. I can't hardly wait.
