So , how's the Z10 doing?
Here's what I hear in the media..."Z10 is a great improvement for a Blackberry, but is not better than Android or iOS. When you factor in the "app gap", do not expect people to change. By the way, large corporations like Home Depot and CSFB are moving away from Blackberry."
Here's what I am experiencing: My employer (a bank) will refresh our fleet of 8,000 blackberries starting in May-June (kind of good, isn't it). Meanwhile, my wife bought a Z10 and she really likes it (switched from iPhone). She still has her music and loves the browser, typing and fluidity of the operating system. You really don't appreciate multi-tasking, peek and flow until you use them for a while.
So, we have an app gap. I told the team at Starbucks to get a BB10 App or I may move my annual spend (in the thousands) elsewhere. I will not subscribe to Netflix until they support BB10 and I may abandon my Sonos if they don't produce a free app. Here's the thing...I am going to take a stand for Blackberry. Why? 1) Because the South Koreans would buy a feature phone (vs a smart phone) if that is all Samsung produced. 2) Because BB users spend more $ and we have the right to ask these brands for more. 3) The media (excluding the NY Times) is anchored to a view of the world where Apple, Samsung, and Google can do not wrong while Microsoft can do anything they want.
Heins talks about BB looking at its NPS score. You can put me in the "Promoter" column BB.

I agree 100% with the OP's statement. I stand for BlackBerry, because it's different. Even with some shortcomings.

Because with the new Z10 dock, you'll be able to connect your Z10 to your 42+ inch tv and watch netflix, surf the net, pretty much turn any tv into a smart tv. This is mobile computing. The real fun comes with the new playbook and this dock; using your Z10 as the remote, with the added abilty of multitasking, unlike a PS3, Xbox or Wii.

So you also go to Starbucks twice a year?😂

You would be best by eliminating "until they support BB10." Like someone else posted, I subscribed for a couple months. Didn't understand what the hype was about. If I want to watch crappy programming I just turn the television on. No need to pay more for it.
Netflix is one tax I don't have to pay.
I do share your passion and enjoy rooting for the underdog.
