Today is DDay or BB10 day

[ricbon]

Skype!!! Wtf

New BBM is the only thing thats impressed so far. Corporate/personal split is good too.

I'm guessing they even have more 'good' apps than WP at launch? :S

 

[martinmc78]

But does it have office?

 

[martinmc78]

Yeah all of them by the look of it 70K available today and the top 1000 apps apparently

Engadget already has a review of the Z10, and they weren't impress with it.

Bb10 already has instagram and all the cool kid apps that ms is missing. That's the huge problem.

I'm watching the Webcast... unless i missed it, I didn't see any Instagram.

Didn't see it either

Damn!!! 3 year contracts. They expect the phones to last that long???

 

[martinmc78]

Hmm Jessica Alba - Alicia Keys - Hot celeb at the launch? Where did we see that?

 

[Tiwo]

but as we write this review, the BlackBerry World store is overflowing with junk apps, many of which are being sold at premium prices.

Are there junk apps on other platforms? Undoubtedly, but here they not only seem to vastly outnumber the good apps, they're actually floating up to the top of the recommended and most popular apps lists. Quantity is beating quality over the head, and we're left doubting the quality of the curating process itself. That major entertainment apps like Netflix, Hulu, Pandora and Spotify will be missing at launch is disappointing.

Oh I love this piece . My worries are gone in a flash! Nice review btw

And now the celebrity endorsement. All these presentations are getting to be the same.

 

[tk-093]

Ha, won't launch until Mid-march in the US? Plenty of time for Microsoft so show off some kick butt 8.1 features to take back any momentum...

Some Canadian carriers do that.... 3 years is crazy.

Well an increase in market share from 2.2% to 5.9% in a year is considered traction - almost a threefold increase - its possible to lose that 5.9% obviously. Just hedging a bet that the big boys will lose market share over bb10 rather than wp8 market share declining

1% marketshare worldwide. That's what Windows Phone has after 2.5 years.

 

[ohgood]

But does it have office?

There are so few people that care about office on a phone, in my limited experience, it will not matter.

1% globally? Where did you get that figure from?? Last I saw it was 2.6% globally.

Yeah, it kinda is. But it's what has always been here - if you want a new smartphone for cheap, that's what you sign up for.

Sarcasm was lost on you then?

BlackBerry Z10 review

Imagine that! An Engadget review of a non-iOS product that was less than stellar. Color me shocked.
