Anonymous, 03 May 2011Please compare it with Galaxy s II/hTc sensation and iPhone 5Well that'll be difficult, since, you know, the iPhone 5 doesn't exist yet (yeah one's coming out this year, and yes, pre productions units no doubt exist, BUT THERE IS NO iPHONE 5 RIGHT NOW). I'm only writing this because I can't shout it at every customer that comes in asking for the bloody thing.

Disclaimer: I don't dislike any of the major manufacturers or their respective OS's. Long live choice in the market place.

    What a silly comment, how can we compare it to iPhone 5? Its not even out yet with no specs released..

    This looks impressive and until the competition get their products out yo have to compare them to the available competition.

      I think that 1.2GHz processor is overload for such device because BlackBerry is far away from multimedia device even doesn't support a Adobe Flash. So, it won't be able to squeeze all juices from 1.2GHz processor.

      But anyway, it is good news, BlackBerry moving forward.

        Who cares about Android?! Compare OS7 to IE9 and WP7, guys! Let's see why they did not compare these two, hehe!

                      Maybe the speed is better now, but no flash support and the 1.2ghz makes the trick. Anyway what can do a blackberry user with that processor?? Send BBM messages?? XD

                                good work BB
                                it seems that BB is on the right track and it will introduce more improvements in the months to come .
                                they have learned their lesson as the market demands more and more from the manufacturers , specially in this case that it has the same style but both worlds , touch and hard keys
                                well done
