RIM unveils BlackBerry 10, last hope for Survival

Hrishi

******************
BlackBerry Messenger is improved , with an option for Real-Time Screen Sharing while in middle of a Call. :) , Cool Stuff.
BB Store also has top 1000 Android and IOs apps meant for BB OS , plus around 70,000 total Apps. Comparatively much lesser than that of Android and IOs ,but it hardly matters when major apps are available to the BB Ecosystem.

Although other flagship Android phones , from same price range carry Quad-Core proccies./ But the difference b/w a better Optimized OS will mean a lot of difference. / 2GM Ram settles the multi-tasking battle.
The 4.2" Screen with HD rez , is better on paper than other Sub 4" flagship devices at same price range.
The design is also acceptable , and easy to use.
Since , its a BB flagship phone , it has to be Expensive. What's the point in owning a BB phone after all , when its not expensive :) *.

And the users who aim at buying a BlackBerry , will probably buy it. They are brained enough to know the hardware gimmicks , the smartphone world is filled with. , plus they get the BB experience at its best.:)

Just my two cents on this.

Nothing, just that the BB flagship looks like the Iphone. Thats all.

Btw , ANy other phone , in your opinion that it resembles other than the lovely....beautiful...awwww....and most unique looking "Apple IPhone 5" . :) ???

The operating system was also designed in a way that allows them to adapt Android apps for BlackBerry 10 by making some relatively minor modifications.
.
This... can save Blackberry from Doom.Major apps will be available to BB OS too (quickly), if porting the codes is really that simple.
This is a big thing , IMO.

None I can think of. And I find the Iphone 5 to be hideously tall, not beautiful. So dont jump into conclusions. This berry looks a lot like the Iphone, no two words about it. But its a slightly better looking than the Iphone as that glass top hides the tall-boy looks more effectively than the Iphone 5. Truly beautiful phones that I can think of are the N9, The one X, the Lumia 800 and the 8x. Neither the current Iphone or this Blackberry are quite the lookers, though the berry is definitely better looking than the Iphone 5 despite that HUGE logo at the bottom.

You know, those words that I have put in bold, they dont really go well together. :)

I don't know how some people are finding the Z10 having a similar design as IP5 !!!:-?
The profile is similar, slim edges, similar overall shape, of course Z10 lacks the iphone button and has an overall glass panel covering the logo, which I think will be a touch button. This looks vaguely similar, a tleast more than what Galaxy had in common with iphone, and rememeber apple owns the patent to this specific shape, i.e rounder corner rectangle:

Update, old pic was compare with ip4 for the sake of similarity, found a better ip5 pic.

^that's not ip5, it had to look similar. think I remember some octagonal shaped prototype of bb10 from somewhere.

edit: found it

no physical homescreen button, it's all gestures

the os still seems to be hideously complicated

met some finance guy in shared rickshaw today who had a playbook, and he choose it after using an ipad just because the content in the indian store is not the same as the content in the american store, and droid was not an option
so... guess there is a market

Yeah I know, I was looking for a similar pic so the compare would be easy, iphone 5 is a bit longer and has slimmer edges, so its even more similar.

Updated the pic.

was going through app world
BlackBerry World > Games > Action
BlackBerry World > Apps > Lifestyle
totally pathetic, does not seem like a quality store at all. would work if they just keep the quality apps instead of going for quantity.

^there are some basic apps, hanuman chalisa, and fun multiplayer games as well (magic 8 ball)... so the bb store essentially checks out for apps. just wish it didnt have all the lame "action" stuff, ie useless, junk apps... which is just barely disguised porn actually. wp store and ovi are better, plus, angry birds pre-installed on many of the new models
