I hope Blackberry does well with these but I'd not choose a Z10 over an S3 or S4... or Note 2 or Note 3.

I feel like blackberry needs to adopt android or windows phone or something. With their new phones and such they are essentially betting the future of their company on an OS that is one of the smallest, has the fewest apps, and has no reputation at all, which to me does not sound economically viable. Just my two cents.

I'm glad they took their time with the software, but my expectations are still low

Prove me wrong!!!

Well apparently the advertising blitz is on... 5 articles on CNN.com's front page. I think they've got an uphill battle, but more competition is always better for consumers so I wish them luck.

Sorry Blackberry, but the choice is switch to Android or die. An OS survives when it has a critical mass of apps that people want, and you don't have that anymore. Nobody's making apps for your OS anymore either. You can either be like Nokia or go straight out of business.

I am developing for BB10 right now, Android people will not pay for anything anyways.

I am wondering how the following will affect me purchasing a BB:-

You need a blackberry ID before you can use their device. However, you have to agree to the EULA with the following before you can get the blackberry ID:
