BlackBerry 10

[xxMATTGxx]

I've never really been a fan of BlackBerry but this something they probably should of started a few years ago considering how the company is coping at the moment. But:


At its BlackBerry World event in Orlando today, RIM pulled the wraps off BlackBerry 10, a thoroughly-revamped platform based on QNX that the company is hoping will bring it back into contention. Though it's been talking about BlackBerry 10 since last year (when it was known as BBX), this is the first time that RIM is getting into details about what we can expect when it debuts on retail devices later in 2012.

Peoples thoughts? In before Apple take them to courts haha :P

Think I know why you said before Apple takes to them to court :L ,

To seem it seems like a late attempt for RIM to gain popularity.

Looks and seems way to much like an iPhone for my liking. Wonder how much money Apple will win :P

To little to late. Why should I pick up a touchscreen only BB10 device over the other, more mature, platforms out there? Where is the USP? All I can see from the screenshots and video is just a generic touchscreen OS. It must provide more than that considering there will be hardly any applications available for it when it releases. I see no reason currently for anyone to want to move to a BB 10 touch screen only phone. Typically the USP for blackberry phones was the physical keyboard and, perhaps, BBM to some extent. If you remove the keyboard what are you left with?

Looks to much like the iphone and I think that the iphone will still be way better than this.

I don't really like the look of it looks like a cheap knock off iPhone. I don't like how blackberries have become so commercialised, they're good for business users yes but I don't see why loads love them they're nothing special at all. Major lack of apps, complicated UI, bulky and ugly... Oh and "but it has bbm" what's wrong with good old fashioned text message? I've owned several blackberries in the past and have on each occasion failed to see what the hype is about. I could go on forever but you get my drift.

And wow how slow was that predicted text in the video? REALLY?!!!

Research in Motion has just considered re-entering the mobile industry folks, Microsoft & Nokia, your turn next (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/comscore-us-smartphone-share-march-2012/).

I'm happy it looks like the iPhone instead of their usual same old crap (http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/01/blackberry-curve-9220-hands-on/) with their same old specs (http://www.phonearena.com/phones/RIM-BlackBerry-Curve-9220_id7038).

In regards of RIM, what do people think about this:

RIM telling Apple to wake up? That's the most ironic thing I've heard in a long time :P

I would rather a physical keyboard.

Really like that feature. Let's hope Google can do something similar but their own version (to avoid going to court). According to this though which I read on my break at work, Blackberry is going back to its roots and will only be producing cheapish smartphone's for the low end of the market http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-17557177

uhhhh looks just like an iphone and all the other touch screen phones - i hate it

[rnix]

I strangely quite like it... But i'm hating my iPhone 4S atm so that's probably why i like it aha
