I'm curious about your insights on the new phones. I'm aware that they aren't released in store anytime soon, but there are bunch of reviews and previews out there.

Thoughts? Such as whether if they will be successful? Will Blackberry RIM go out of business?
 
it will come out in March. this is their final chance. If they did it right with navigation and communication (email/txt/phone) part... they're bbbbaaaaaacccccckkkkkk!

if not - they're done for. it's over.

My main issue with iPhone is that it's not very communication-friendly. Its email feature is clumsy and abysmal. It's really impossible to mess it up on such simple thing but I guess Apple did. Blackberry has been a leader in this specific part and I'm sure they will do it right and perfectly on that part in BlackBerry 10.

if I really like it, it will be my next phone once my contract expires in summer.
 
RIMM is already at bottom on the other side of the mountain.

I think to be successful, each one has a niche.

Android captures the people that are: cheap, average, and the enthusiasts
Apple captures the people that are: simple, loyal, trendy
Microsoft seems to capture the aesthetic and/or other percentage of the population.

RIMM captures nothing except maybe some die-hard fans or business owners. Maybe for their strong enterprise support (previously), or their trackball/keyboard layout - I'm guessing that represents 0.0001% of the smartphone population.

There are some niches out there that haven't been taken advantage of. One example I can think of are the open architecture folks. Some desktop builders would love an open environment with being able to swap their CPU's and memory and such rather than changing a new phone every year. If RIMM makes something good to capture a good audience and returning their way back up, they have a chance of making a return.
 
I'm going after the Samsung Galaxy SIII LTE next. I'm just waiting to see how long my Crapberry 9630 Int'l can hang on. It's gotten to where I only use it for shorter emails (it always has truncated emails over a certain size), texting, and two web sites (there are several web sites that I can no longer go to because they will simply hang the processor, and all you can do is pull the battery).
 
I thought RIM was best security wise? They seem to be tailoring themselves to business needs again. The way any smart phone is being used these days the security would be the biggest concern. I doubt my phone would hold of a junior high hacker
 
I never tried blackberry. my friends who had blackberry and loveeeee them. sorry for wasting your time to read this. :dunno2:

I am not surprised if the blackberry returns ... my friends would try them all over again. :ugh3:
 
I will get one if Z, or Purple, or other release VRS software for it.
