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.




Point of correction. Nigerians aren't the leading users of blackberry globally

Very myopic view without any analytical input. SMH

When there is now a level playing field amongst all the handsets, Iphone5,SGSIII and the Z10, the determinat would now be personal preferences. If BlackBerry can get the popular apps (Skype, Netflix, Instagram, Amazon Kindle, etc) then it would come down to the user experience, stability, OS stability and capabilities of the smartphone. At this time, the Z10 would be the clear winner.

you may be shocked by what you may read now, even RIM confirmed that the future of BB is Africa, Particularly Nigeria.

The Z10 would not win for the following reasons
1)Fanboyism: This is greater than any user experience bla bla
2)OS Stability: Dude did you just say Z10 would win on OS stability? The Z10 OS is not even a year old and you think its more stable than Android and IOS?
3)Capabilities: Have you used the SGIII, or the Iphone?

pDude: 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 grin.

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.
Lol! True. You should hear them get defensive over why BB is the best there is grin

On fanboyism, I have nothing to say, each to whatever makes him/her happy.

OS Stability, for your info, the QNX that powers the BB10 has been around over 25 years. It is the OS that is trusted to run nuclear plants all over the world, and it also runs the critical life support systems in hospitals. So my guy, that kernel is stable.

Tell me the capabilities of the SGSIII or iPhone that the Z10 does not have (just to remind you, an app is not a capbility o, na app e be smiley ) Or does it cook bread?
Re: BB 10 will ground Blackberry by Royalty1(m): 7:13pm On Feb 01, 2013
I do hope the teleco companies in nigeria will drop the price of data bundles.
High bundle at low price + data compression was what pushed most users to bb(at least in Nigeria).
Once I can get about 3Gb data on Android for say N1,500 monthly, then its good bye to BB.
