Can this be the phone that can bring RIM back to life?
Looks super sexy...
If RIM could make the latter to look like this in the final production, I may switch to BB, but BBX OS may not be so good...
But with no physical keyboard or trackpad, doesnt seem like a BB trademark phone anymore..
I like blackberries for their keyboard lol, ill sit this one out, owned a curve, 9000, 9700, 9800 and now the 9900, no thanks to this, hopefully they can come up with something as nice but with a keyboard Posted via RS Mobile
they will have this, a new slider, and a new qwerty bold coming within the next year and a bit all running top shelf bits and BB10.
they had to develop this phone because consumers are in love with that media/touch style now with android and apple. they need a top of the line touch screen phone to compete.
How is QNX anyway? Does it crash as often as their current BB6 and BB7 lineup? LOL.
in 3 months of fairly heavy use my QNX playbook has crashed exactly 0 times. ive never had to use the power button other than the initial turn on. i do restart it from time to time tho. its basically never even had trouble loading anything even running multiple apps. certain web pages load a little slow but i attribute that more to my bullshit wifi than the device itself. if the phones run as smooth as the playbook they are going to be a treat.
and the playbook is dual core 1ghz. the phones are going to be dual core 1.5ghz. speed shouldnt be a problem at all.

I can pretty much testify to this. Pretty much. The playbook OS is quite smooth and they can handle pages with heavy contents like images and vids. The gesture system is quite clever. And multitasking is very good (I can open 2 browsers, the native one and the one on bridge).
The wifi is bullshit though, it's been dropping every 5-10 minutes to the point it's unusable. Pretty much shelved it until they fix it. I dug out my gf's 1001 year old Acer netbook and start using it as a substitute. Also the lack of a certain video/sound codec is a let down.
Don't whine if this model doesn't have a keyboard...it's not like RIM is stopping production of every other one of their phones. RIM is a sinking ship, they need something, anything to compete and make some sort of profit to please the shareholders.
The fact that BB10 will support Android Apps makes it that much more appealing.
Its not completely native. Still based on the runtime and will require developers to port their apps as well as remove all references to android and market. Still I guess it's in the right direction.

Really? So it's like what WP7 is doing then. Screw it, I'm hopping on WP7 for my next phone.
