        i saw that coming... !!
        same thing happening to BB after Symbian.
        BB should hire more developers n improve its app store. and price - hardware ratio should be balanced too then only it will have an effect on market. I personally believe BB10 is awesome but only thing that doesnt digest is its overpriced and lack of apps..!!

              Hopefully they go to the right direction this time. To be honest I feel so sorry to buy Z10 because lack of applications on BlackBerry 10. I'm not a game freak but basic applications are missing there. I don't know should I sell this phone or not but lets see how they work.

                    1st opinion : i think bb should merge with jolla & ubuntu on "os" front as all are gesture based & turn to sony or lg for "hardware" front..


                    2nd opinion : it would be more logical if bb merges only with jolla because both are qt based & gesture based

                    hardware : apple - nope -have their own ios
                    samsung: nope - focusing on android & preparing Tizen os
                    lg : nope - focusing on android & have open webos
                    nokia : nope - focusing on wp8
                    motorola : nope - owned by rival os
                    contenders Sony & HTC also consider some chinese manufacturers
                    in my personal opinion: BB10+jolla os along with sony hardware will be the best bet

                      BB.. 2 things..

                      1. unreasonable ratio between price and hardware
                      2. apps

                            i think it is very bad news for in communication technology field.....
                            because each n every world level mobile manufacturer have unique techs....
                            if bbm fails....wp8 fails....symbion already shuts.... then imagine what rest in the field.....only andoroid...? why...?
                            windows is nice os, andro is nice os, ios are nice, bbm are nice...symb was nice...
                            i think bb sholud change in their os10 more user friendly more cheap to survive....
                            wp8 also improve user friendlyness.....
                            each n every os are important.... n necessory....

                              M$? Imagine a business phone which would include WP and BB QWERTY... I would love it! I think many companies would also offer that kind of phone for their employees. BB Messenger is the safest messaging app.

                                  blackberry problem is that their phone is mainly only for business class....they need to change their ideas and move to something pple can have fun with..in terms of games and applications. Pple are getting smarter so let ur product get smart

                                    Fully agree with your views. I have used all platform but due to mob frenzy i too joined the Samsung Android combo, which is nothing but a Toy, of course they have good features in built. The main problem with Blackberry device is their astronomical prices.If they cut down the cost at least by 30%, surely the sales will pick up some momentum and with that they can build their OS.Unfortunately the top brass are not willing to cut down the cost and prevents a first time user to test the product. Blackberry is meant for professionals, but even that segment is willing to part with that company, like myself, simply for the reason of high cost ownership.
