BB 10 will ground Blackberry by chineduace(m): 11:41am On Feb 01, 2013 |
BlackBerry (BBRY) announced at yesterday’s launch that the new smartphones based on the BB10 platform will not support the BlackBerry Internet Service (BIS). http://www.humanipo.com/news/3634/Goodbye-BlackBerry-Internet-Service-African-market-could-look-elsewhere With the new over priced and over hyped BB10, i hope BB lovers know that BIS is not supported on this new flagship from BB. Supsequently it will be migrated to older OS eventually. Nigeria holds the leading market in BB globally. My analysis is that if BIS goes away and since RIM is dead due to name change then BB will follow suit since Nigerians are addicted to data compression and almost unlimited data via BIS. Well i think it's time to move on. Iphone still operates a closed system and Android is open to everything and everyone. So i guess it's Android all the way. Well this is just my opinion, you are entitled to yours. Also check this link www.mobility.com.ng/blackberry-10-data-consumption-you-cannot-eat-your-cake-have-it/ 1 Like |

Lol, the device is currently on sale in the UK, I just checked carphonewarehouse website and they have data plans ranging from 1GB to Unlimited data. So if BIS is gone and there are vendors offering unlimited data, I'll jump on it. That's IF BIS is gone. 1 Like |

I used to think my blackberry was everything until I picked up the HTC 4G EVO Android phone. Since then, my blackberry has been gathering dust . Let's see how Nigerians will react to this development. The BIS service is what is making blackberry lag behind. Remove that and see development in the phone's technology. The world is fast advancing beyond BIS technology. 2 Likes |

The new blackberry is a giant leap by former RIM(now blackberry) but i think blackberry 10 is at least 1 year old. It should have come out a bit earlier. 1 Like |

Goldstuck says what made BIS possible was that all data was compressed and flowed over BlackBerry’s own network. “But that meant poorer browsing performance than on any other smartphone. Now you enter this new data-intensive ecosystem and it’s not feasible to run it through the same security and compression.” This means BB10 devices lend themselves to a data-bundle model where other brands play. However, Goldstuck says the text component of the revised BBM application will still run over the existing BIS architecture, meaning operators may sell a data bundle with BBM as a value-add at no cost.. Let us keep watching and see what happen at the end, if BB 10 succeed RIMS will bounce back else Samsung or Microsoft will acquire RIM. |

mrkels: Not really. The last figure I saw (which was late last year) says just over 50%. But that figure is growing very fast. Don't forget that there are still quite a number of old symbian users and also the asha touch is becoming quite popular. (but i don't think those were included in last years figure) |
