wow...! must have been exciting...how did it handle...?

you should write a brief review...!

any tip on when it'll be launched/available in Nigeria...?

O yeah I did that already. You can check it out here: www.nairaland.com/1180906/handled-blackberry-z10-it-sweeet

He could really be specific on when it will officially available in Nigeria but he said the game players were meeting in SA as at yesterday to work out a few things. Let's hope that latest by February ending it'll be here.

Who took this one's bread? Blackberry shares are nose diving. I'm sure u are one of the many nigerians that think blackberry is a 'smartphone'. And definitely use one. You feel like calling me a fool, good for you. but I am calling you a fool. Be lucky if dat company is still standing after 5 years.

My friend uses a 9900 Bold or whatever its called, he saw my S3 and said, "This is my last blackberry phone". Laugh no gree me. LOOL.

Well for starters I don't use a BB. I know your little mind would find that hard to believe. I'm sure you're asking yourself why anyone would be so open-minded about phone OSes? Well not everyone worships devices they buy with their money.


So to you BBs are not smartphones? You are one ignorant fellow. You should look for blinded folks like yourself to argue with.


What disgusts me is your repeated use of the word 'Nigerians' as if we can't choose the phone that best suits our needs. I'm sure your main reason of using an android phone is because its popular in Europe. What a fool you are. Well let me tell you that android and iOS were once very small startups in the US.


You should leave the talk about shares to more intelligent folks seeing that you do not have the capacity to understand the very basic smartphone world. If I were to reason like you, I would say the iPhone is rubbish because Apples stocks has fallen almost 50% in the last 6 months. Mind you, they still make more than double of ALL what android OEMs make put together.


I don't know when you started using a smartphone, but you should ask yourself where android was 5 years ago and you would see how silly you really are.

Blackberry Lost nearly 8% Value of their Shares after they unveiled the OS10 !
Seems the investors don't like where RIM is heading.
Whats your take on this?
Will Blackberry survive with their new OS10?
Or Android and other leading OS will just swallow BB down?

The reaction was to the late launch of the phones in the US market not to the OS itself. In fact analysts like the new OS but a March launch for the US market and and April arrival for the Q10 is not very palatable news. Blackberry (formerly RIM) should have been aggressively penetrating all its markets with the Z10 and Q10 NOW not in 2 and 3 months time. They don't have the luxury of much time to shore up their presence in the smartphone market however the Blackberry OS10 is good enough to stand toe to toe with the iOS, Android and WP8.

For those saying the BB10 has no BIS, It's not true. The BB10 still supports BIS & BES. You check out more information about the BB10 at www.crackberry.com. At N119,000, the BB10 is still cheaper than the Nokia Lumia which at launch was costing N125,000 for WP8 device.

that smartphone(full name:google lg nexus 4-it sounds like a royal name.lol) can hold its own anyday with the likes of samsung sIII. Yet,its price is suspiciously low($229 or 299,not sure).
About the bb heartbreak, i'm sorry for you, i really am.lol

Didn't I say it you don't calculate local phone prices directly from European prices.


You can now officially pre-order it for 100k from MTN.

You can also be sure that it would be cheaper when it's OFFICIALLY released to the Nigerian market.


Be rest assured that most flagship phones would come in at 95k (give or take)

I don't believe there is any place in the original post where the price was stated in naira...

the naira equivalent was only calculated to give an idea of the price...

its good know its gonna cost less...

Unfortunately,I don't have any. My opinion is based on consumer appreciation when compared to the Bold 9900. If the Porsche was designed strcitly for luxury purposes,no qualms. However, I consider it a big failure if it was meant to have bragging rights over the Iphone 4s/5, Galaxy S III or the HTC One X.

Thanks.

With these numbers,

Galaxy S Series Sales
Samsung Galaxy S - 25million units and counting...
Samsung Galaxy S II - 40million units and counting...
Samsung Galaxy S III - 41million units and counting...

Galaxy Note Series
Samsung Galaxy Note - 10 million units and counting... (as of August
2012) Samsung Galaxy Note - 5 million units and counting... (as of
December 2012)

It's safe to say Blackberry has been failing. cheesy

seriously? think about it yourself. why would someone design a $2500 phone JUST to have bragging rights over a $700 phone? does that sound logical to you?

the BB Porsche is a luxury item. from the day it was released, it was stated clearly that its the luxury version of the BB9900 and your comment about 'your opinion being based on consumer appreciation when compared to the Bold 9900' is dubious... anybody who has used or even read anything tangible about the 9900 and Porsche would know how they relate to each other undecided

Sorry, that was the pre-order price on slot. But you had to first give them a deposit of N20,000. Even the Z10 they are showing on their site is the white Z10. Are they saying that a white Z10 is more expensive by N20,000 than the black one ?!! Naija Mentality sometimes. smh !!! undecided undecided

Sorry to say, i don't think i can buy any Blackberry device for N100k and above. Not on my watch! Instead I will buy iPhone or Samsung S4 or Lumia. Thank God the price have come down. Q10 is another expensive phone that i can't buy.
I am patiently waiting for Q5 that is half the price of Q10. see comparison http://phonegist..com/2013/05/comparison-blackberry-z10-q10.html
