Globe to release BlackBerry Q10 in June on Plan 1799

BB have lost their prestige a loong time ago. In this brutal tech age, bibihira lang nakaka survive pag nawalan ka na ng kinang. I don’t think BB will survive for another 3 years.

If Blackberry will give up its pride like what Nokia did, they will definitely survive in this smartphone race =)

“C’mon be honest here…unless you’re a paid shill, then nevermind”

Your suggestion that I am a paid shill was a dumb ass ignorant comment as I never made any suggestion to anyone to support or buy blackberry product.
-Your comment on ‘BB Reputation’; Do some reading. You will be surprised to know BB is a pioneer in the smartphone business. They failed to innovate and was left behind in the touch screen phone revolution in the last several years. With the introduction of new devices this year, BB10 OS has proven that it can be equal or better than the other phone O/S in the market. Just google ‘QNX’ for some Info.
-your Spec. comparison of Q10 to S3 or S4 is meaningless because you are comparing apple to an orange. The phones are made from different platforms plus, one has physical keyboards and the others don’t.
-As for price strategy, BB knows that they have the best ‘keyboard smartphone’ right now in their Q10. There is no serious competition in this market segment anymore and judging from previous releases in the UK and Canada, there is still a huge demand for Qwerty Phone.It is a smart move by BB to price this phone as a high end phone, after all, It is a high end phone. The target market for this phone, eg. Gov’t,Business, Professionals,former BB users are the people who will choose the Q10 with the price being the last consideration for them.

– It was reported that BB will be releasing a new devise, the Q5 which is a mid range phone.Obviously this will be more affordable compared to the Z10 and Q10.
-I bought the Nexus 4 recently, a good phone for apps. and games but it is too big for my pocket. Now my kid is loving it for the games and GPS maps. The BB messaging and many keyboard shortcuts, size, excellent radio signals,better phone features are the BB deal breakers for me.

QNX platform shouts SECURITY that is why BB have their own OS. Unlike android OS driven phones w/c could be infected or tampered with spams,
I agree with Zane BB phone users are the people who will choose the z10 or q10 with the price being the last consideration and would give emphasis to security of data as vital and foremost.
Why don’t you copy below address on your address bar and see for yourself abuzalzal why the BB10 OS or their phone wont just die easy.
Bottom line here is US DoD needs them.

Finally here :)

As to those who brush off BB because of the price, well.

We can see the difference now can we not?

BB loyalist cant be bothered by something so trivial as price, please.

Just saying.
