Re: BlackBerry Z10 launched in India for Rs 43,490

How many actually used a blackberry before Z10 launched? i'm not defending BB or anything but I only saw businessmen use blackberry till couple of years ago. also most blackberry devices are given to employees by companies. :/ , I wont say what price BB Z10 should be , i'm saying BB is mostly used by business users for its backend services.

It used to be when BBM was exclusive.
But now with services like whatsapp, chaton and several alternatives, BBM is no longer required.

So is ip5 but both are not android. Only android and windows phone came with quad core CPU.

The user interface of BB 10 is quite unique and pretty much exclusive. Phone is extremely pleasing to use. Only problem is its seriously overpriced, it should be around 30k.

does 4 cores really matter when the OS itself is broken? .. untill Google launched Jelly Bean, android was horrible, I had suffered everyday even with a decent hardware. its all related to how optimized the OS is.

This. Android is akin to running the OS you want inside a Virtual machine. No matter how fast your hardware is, its still going to be the slowest among the big 3 (now 4) given the same processing horse power.

to make matters worse, companies are least bothered about giving optimization to existing hardware, they just keep crunching new "bling" phones.

?? .. they do support atleast 2-3 generations old hardware. like they still support iPhone 4, but the issue not faced much by iPhone users is that fact that many apps run smoother even on older hardware.

Re: BlackBerry Z10 launched in India for Rs 43,490

they still support iphone 3gs
there are less things that can be broken on ios, and that is the exact advantage of droids, so its a direct choice more than a conflict

wanna see how the no home screen button at all turns out, at the least they should have had an xperia style sensor if not a click-able button. if it works, that's good, but think there should be at least one clickable button for emergencies.

Well, official android was horrible!

CM & MIUI have always been rocking the boat!

I Like BB for their BBM and the QWERTY(i'm not a big fan of TOUCH).

However when you pay your hard earned 40+ you should get a perfect hardware and software. IN BB,APPLE software part is OK, what about the HARDWARE?

IMO 40k for Quad Core and 2GB is also OVERPRICED, they prices should come down.

The biggest trick android pulled was convincing the world that hardware specifications are synonymous with price.


User experience is all that I care about, and I have first hand experience how thats not very related to specifications beyond a limit. There arent any user-case scenarios that I know of, that people use on a regular basis that can use even Quad-cores and 2 gb of RAM. Enough with the spec-war. Gimme some decent software. Thats why Apples still sell like they do.

Apple used to be the only overpriced smartphone in India but now BB & HTC tooo......In future Xperia Z may also join that league(40k+). I know that rupee has become weaker but still.....

Re: BlackBerry Z10 launched in India for Rs 43,490

At least apple owners got a sense of exclusivity & high brand value.
A 40k BB makes you simply a laughing stock.

I didnt get your point. Do you mean to say that BB doesnt have a good brand image or exclusivity?

Re: BlackBerry Z10 launched in India for Rs 43,490

meh. apple is cheap and vfm in the long run. one 40K phone lasts for 4 years, better than buying a 10K phone every year or a 20K phone every two years.
apple is not a luxury phone maker at all, nokia, samsung and bb have luxury variants in the market but not apple.
