I used to like my BB, but the apps grew bigger and overwhelmed it. I've been on andriod ever since and i've not seen one single advantage that will want to make me want to switch back to BB. the specs of andriodOS and iOS are by far greater than that of BB, not to even mention user expiriece. This device will surely give nokia windows 8 a run for its money but surely not iOS6 or andriod jellybean 4.2.1. RIP RIM

Blackberry cannot die, at least not like Palm OS, because
- they are considering licensing the OS like MS, so you'd find OEM like a Samsung phone running the Blackberry OS,
- they may sell the hardware arm of the company to cut expenditure,
- QNX on which the BB10 OS is built has a lot of potentials,
- security is a serious business, and since BB os is a closed source os, it will still have a market share
- carriers like BB because they work closely with them, and
- Like Google that acquired Moto Mobility to survive, they also have a patent empire.

Royalty1: 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.
I use glo bis on my htc Mytouch 4G Android smartphone. its just N1200 for a month and 3GB data

He's not a sports/foolball person like mukina is.
mukina is female and she may be a close family relation of his.

Oga, do you call Asha a smartphone

Na hin be say i get 2 smartphone and another smart nokia ''touch''. He hehe.


Nokia classifies the full asha touch as smartphones. Although I was skeptical at first, I see no reason why they shouldn't be classified as such.

If you have issues with that, you can start by telling us what smartphones are and why ashas are not.

This your view is more myopic than mine.... How on earth can BB win the smart phone war... They are currently 5th in the world with drowning fortunes... You said user experience.... Na wa for you oh, you don see wetin samsung and apple de do for user experience... Even with BIS, BB was struggling, without BIS, where will they be... You are so unanalytical... BB may have the best everything in the world but my main point is that they are going down and BB10 may make the downward trend faster...
Who so ever that gave them the idea of dropping BIS was the one that nailed their coffin.

It was said as much on CNN yesterday. There are more android users than iphone users and people want to connect. All more services are made for android that for iphone.

The iphone may end up becoming an ultra niche market

The fact that android has more market share than iOS doesn't make iOS a failure.
Though I agree that apple is facing really stiff competition and have to do something drastic to guarantee their future, but that does not change the fact that they are by far the most profitable tech company in the world.
One thing you should understand is that Apple is a premium brand and don't need very large market share to be profitable.


The only services that are made first for android are usually Google's services. All other services I've come across are first brought to iOS before android or at most done together.

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.

if bis isint functional that automatically means bes isint.....which makes the ALL NEW blackberry balance redundant so apply small sense bikozienu.

The BB has always been a boring phone. Never wasted money on it but I understand why its preferable there.

More android users but that's partly because there are only three iPhone models on sale today (4, 4s, 5) vs probably more than 50 androids. So it's normal that the numbers using like those 50 phones all made by different manufacturers(like Samsung, Sony, Motorola, HTC etc) should be more than the numbers using just 3 handsets made by one company (Apple)

About Data charges, am sure that as soon as a good number of blackberry users go over to android, the providers will definitely do something.
Re: BB 10 will ground Blackberry by otodeluxe(m): 7:38am On Feb 02, 2013
I hate unnecessary data consumption. Hence if bis is not supported in blackberry 10, I will change my old bold 2 casing and keep using it.
