The canadians ought to take a closer look at what the world wants. They seem to be off-focussed and this is creating a bunch of useless devices where consumers are fed up with. I am still using 9780 as the rest of the new junk is unusable. Playbook is a classic example, what more can we say?

      I guess RIM Ceo believes in name-astrology.

      BB should dump BB10 or whatever and get license from HP to use WebOS or WP7 from Microsoft.
      Both are the best in features for Enterprises.

        TruthSeekr, 07 Dec 2011"why RIM went ahead with 10 skipping 8 and 9 continues... moreNot really.

        Because RIM want to make a campaign of BB neXt... or the neXt big things.... but after the problem, they could not go back to number 7 after anounce 'X'. Thus the number 10 were used.

        RIM were too cheap to buy the brand.... this make me wonder would they be able to survive by being cheap. Because being cheap also mean not have the best talent in this industry.

              'Why r they calling it Blackberry 10?'
              After putting some thght, since they can't call it BBX, 'X' roman numeral means 10, Hence 'Blackberry 10' is another notation for 'BBX'. Cheers ;)

                  Im not a fan of Blackberry but I dont like to see Apple and Samsung be the only two big players in the game right now, we need innovation and phones with great design. I think RIM still got a chance to come back but they must get really serious with BlackBerry X

                      This just prove that RIM were cheap. They would not spent money to buy a brand/image.... just like their co-CEO who always failed at buying hockey club....

                        "why RIM went ahead with 10 skipping 8 and 9 continues to elude mankind"

                        ...for the same reason MS went to "Windows 7" after xp and Vista.

                          Nothing will change. This will still lead to their economic downfall.

                            It would've been great BBX
                            Blackberry 1O sounds bit odd.
                            Whatever, best of luck BB
