It is ... but unfortunately a lot of the media consists of a lot of haters against BlackBerry and will try to steer many away stating "BB is dead" or "RIM is dead" yet not sure just how advanced the OS is nor any knowledge of the infrastructure behind it.

We'll see what BlackBerry has in store this Monday at BlackBerry Live ... and see if their ready to jump into the $1Billion (this year alone) industry of Machine to Machine (M2M or short) service industry. They have their NOC, 208+ wireless carrier partnerships that have stood the test of time (over 18yrs), and specific APN's to allow secure data traffic to support this M2M. BlackBerry has the ONLY mobile OS that has yet to be compromised as a system level - browser circumvention affected all OS, yet it prompted the user for data to be lost.

Rating Q10 when it comes to games? Fairly well ... just you have a smaller screen so the games better suited for it will differ from the Z10. For example side scrollers would work perfectly, yet first person shooters may or may not be coded for it; as their better suited to the Z10. I'm not sure what you mean with online games, my understanding is that games are multiplayer or connected to join and update status/ranks with others over BBM. Multiplayer games don't restrict based only on form factor so it should be just fine. Many developers are making games for both Z10 & Q10.

Best consensus ... check out BlackBerry World on your PC/Mac/Linux browser and select Games ... of the games that appeal to you check the "Compatible Devices" list and if the Q10 is listed (if that is the device you're looking for) then you can bookmark it for when you purchase your device.

Right now I'm HOOKED on Sector Strike (an 80's classic "R-Type") a side scroller. Since the controls are on-screen, Q10 isn't supported (for obvious reasons; limited screen real-estate).

tough competition, yes, but you need to focus on where the competition is eating their lunch and where they're eating the competitions.

Markets:
S. Africa - still king
W. Africa countries - still king
India - still leading.
UK (close to 36% market)
S. American countries - still king

notice that although these markets have a lower income bracket per family vs N. America (with UK being a HUGE exception), users have almost equal ARPU for cellphone line respective to N. America?! These are also very high-growth markets in terms of data use, upgrades to smartphones, and continuous upgrade cycles lasting less than 12 months.

Apple has a Cloud & Computing business aside from mobile
Google has a Cloud & Internet business' aside from mobile (actually mobile is going to drive their core business "search" but their still behind and now trying to force Google+ users to surf using their ID to collect data; The internet is free Google has stated so many times both on homeland and abroad, especially to China, yet their forcing G+ sign-ons to collect data on search and internet browsing to mine data, hmmm).

BlackBerry has a mobile business and going into M2M business and is leveraging their mobile expertise, device access via QNX platform, and their NOC for security and real-time accessibility and deployment of management and updates, through wireless partners data. Big win for every player and thus a self sustaining industry.

Getting mine next week, my network is slowly in getting it. Strange that they were quick to get the Z10 but are slow at getting this beauty.

Congrats Dups! One thing you should do is register for BB Beta Zone for the BBM Channels and get the auth code and installation (Windows required as the file is an .exe). You're going to love it. Secondly add us in case you got questions or want to check out BBM Video & ScreenSharing.

Next,
Register your existing or for a new Box.net account on the device - 10GB FREE! The app is native and integrates VERY well for auto uploads (either on cellular or wlan; you choose).

BB10.1 Caveats:
Forget everything you know about BBOS (legacy devices)!
1 alarm only.
POP3 (and most IMAP) email accounts is 30 days email only. This includes GMail regardless of how you set it up previously.
- ActiveSync (even Outlook.com) gets forever email history including search.


BB10.2
- 30 days email will no longer be an issue/restriction
- priority email is there
- BB Maps gets landscape orientation.
- JB4.2.2 runtime support - hello PlayStore GChrome mobile etc etc.
- Settings will be native.
- rumor & large request to get the Browser to be native (QML code) but I fear this will screw with performance and compatibility since its already in HTML5 code entirely and improvements keep occuring in the leaks of BB10.1 its insanely fast!
- Low light setting in the camera
- MirrorCast support (hardware is already supports this).
- HDMI 1.4 support (1.2 I think is current).
- BBWorld 'pin' apps to view later for review or download vs having to search for them again.
- BBWorld gets landscape support
- PRAYING that Z10 gets homescreen landscape support; and that BB launches the landscape media dock!
- BlackBerry add a Screen Capture screenshot API both in native and Cascades. This just allows apps to save a picture of any screen and save it to the camera roll. Currently this works with the volume button screenshot keys (for BB10 itself, not 3rd party apps directly) but developers can add their own screenshot options. They can also choose to save the screenshot in JPG or PNG formats.
- Peripheral Discovery Library” that allows you app to get notified and grab information for any devices connected over USB, Bluetooth, DisplayPort, & HDMI. BB doesn't support DisplayPort (I'm not aware of adapters from HDMI to DP, so maybe a new hero device will use this?), which may enable USB Host !!
- many many more features; especially many that we've come to love in BBOS that is currently missing in BB10.


PS: the tiered and tiered location launch of Z10 and Q10 was deliberate 2 fold. One to allow for production to ramp up and accurately without loosing on costs for manufacturing (supply chain is kept very tight to control costs), and also to support the larger markets that BB does hold largest share and brand name recognition in a positive light. This is why the Q10 launched on Monday in the USA - very late, since they only have 4% marketshare there and pretty much are hated on every which way until Sunday, even by grandmothers, lol. Those whining about USA release date foor Q10 are those that are true diehard fans/users that want nothing else, literary. Heck Pakistan got the Q10 weeks before USA did, so it shows you where the demand is greater. 2014 2nd Quarter results on June 28th I believe, estimates of 5 million devices, and 3 major analysts or firms rate as a buy, up from sell just 1 qtr ago. Keep in mind Z10 had less than 30 days for full global launch for it to really show up on this quarter and the Q10 even less than that so I'm very surprised, and hoping to see it progress. However with HTC One and SGS sales the cloud still looms. Mi na care though.

Thanks, Tsepz_GP and Hardened!


I am looking forward to this phone. I tried to like typing on the full-touch phones but it is just not my cup of tea, I hope BlackBerry makes it and keeps making the Q- series cause I don't see myself using the full-touch phones unless they are the only option.

Thanks, also, for the tips- will get to them when I get my phone. I also love the swift manner in which BlackBerry updates the BB10 OS/ phones.
