You want to know what success is? Selling 50 million units of your flagship not selling substandard cheap particle to guliable people from 3rd world countries, not even recognized in your home country and the sales of all your phone line up not more than 2 million units. |
Akainzo: You call me a troll while a self confessed BlackBerry enthusiast is talking about a BlackBerry Z30? My friend, go and check out the meaning of "Troll".You called Samsung 'Samdung'. And this post my friend, just cemented your status as troll. If being a brand enthusiast involves bringing down others to make yours look or seem better, that makes you a troll. |
Akainzo: I will address you points one by one.I (on this very forum) and many other tech sites have often criticized Apple's app and file sharing processes so I do not know what you're talking about. You know what is backward? 720p on such a Large screen. The now widely popular panorama mode is still missing from Blackberry.What’s bad: The boot-up time of the phone takes at least one minute if not more. That is a lot compared to most flagship devices in the market. Apart from the lack-lustre App World, even the navigation on the phone needs training and some getting used to. The phone’s OS even though has a decently impressive upgrade, is decades behind the Android and iOS devices. Both have immersive markets, competitive features and constant upgrades leaving Blackberry without much zeal. During my experience with the phone, the device took a while to wake up. The power button had to be literally threatened on occasions to finally forcefully get the phone active again. The lowly Maps app and the force installation of Blackberry Link on your PC is also cumbersome and discouraging. One thing that bothers me is the non-removable battery. Being on the road most of the time, it poses a great threat for damage. The cost of repair with the in-built battery raises some questions. The back cover is huge let-down....I can go on and on and on.... - Camera: Good point, the camera could have been better. I am quite disappointed that they stuck with the Z10 camera.Real poor. - Contact Management: Hmmm, not the BB10 OS. That OS has the best unified contacts management of all smartphones. User errors are the reasons for most issues as many may not understand its concept. Once you grasp it, you would see the bright spot in it, a single unified way of managing and communicating with your contacts.Are you Just being a fanboy or actually haven't used the device before? Any contact that has been manually linked or unlinked at some point becomes ineligible for automatic linking. This helps prevent undoing any link corrections made by the user. Even if you turn on wireless synchronization with Gmail, you see different set of contacts unless BlackBerry forms the links among like Entries automatically. - Bezel: It is there for gestures. Is the bezel on the Z30 any worse that on HTC One?Smaller bezels = More comfortable to hold. - Poor Viewing Angle: I am quite surprised at this statement. It is the same AMOLED on the Z30 as on the S4, so where are you getting your fix from?What matters s how well the phone maker implements it. BB is bad at that. -16GB of Storage: Funny that you criticize it for that, in 2013 Iphone 5S, Galaxy S4, LG G2, Nexus 5 ALL come in 16GB variants, so where is your issue. PLUS, it supports 64GB of external storage.Except that the others you mentioned above also have 32GB and 64GB variants for high memory users unlike BB. Eternal storage you say, but external storage is meant for media files alone. Apps and games can't be stored on there. -Laggy: I call total and complete BULLSHIT on this one! Which app did you run on the Z30 that was buggy and laggy, which one?Show me what part of my comment said it was laggy? You can't read or what? All I said is that it was buggy and apps kept crashing. The reviews will agree with me on this. - App Selection: Sure the BB World does not have the millions of apps s presently in the Google Play or Apple Store, but remember that the BB10 World is only about a year old. BTW, same question: As the BB World was sparce, which app did you run that was laggy and buggy?It's not about the app world being one year old. If the OS was very product able and profitable, it will attract developers right away which is not the case. Just recently, twitter pulled out the latest version of the app from the BB app world. Need I say more? - Q3 Earning Call: I need to spell it out for you again, the write down does not include the Z30 as there is no way that the sales on the Z30 that was released after the close of the Q3 timeline would be covered in a Q3 report. Q3 sales period is July, August and September 2013 while the Z30 was released in October 2013. Hope you get it now.No such thing as sales Being too early to be announced. Apple announced the sales of the 5s one week after its release, Samsung and LG, one month after the Gs4 and G2 were released respectively. Same with most other smartphone flagship. Not even dwelling on that. There are articles all over the internet about the Z30's disappointing sales. Use Google. The report clearly stated that the loss was due to unsold devices from the entire BB10 OS line. No distinction was made. All in all, what you got great specs are all the Snapdragon 800 bs 400, Adreno 320 vs 400 talk. Like I said, these SoCs are not the final authority on the overall performance of the device itself. The Z30 is still more fluid that the S4, just like the 4S is more fluid than the S4 despite the so-called "better" specs on the S4.Through out the six months with my GS4, I've experienced no Lag. iPhone 4s more fluid than the S4? Biggest joke of 2013...LMAO. The 4s, since receiving iOS 6&7 Lags like hell. Obviously, you'be been brainwashed by the iMedia. Z30? You know the Gs4's superiority over it when to try HD games in both of them. Benchmark cheating? Except that everyone does it. Plus those numbers mean nothing. What matters is the real life experience. |

Niyiframes: But u forgot to tell us what happened when u dropped d galaxy grand into water @ least u must av tryed dat with ur sg grand as well before coming here to tell us d difference. All u guys say is samsung is a lot bera, yeah we know, but in what ways....u all cant say. Well for me i think d major difference btw samsung n other devices, not only tecno tho, is the name. Besides samsung is not d only company dat produces android devices...there are hundreds, if not over a thousand, of em all over d world, and they make great phones, perhaps oppo find 7 is even far beta dan sgs4. It's just amazing dat d only smartphone brand most of us know here in 9ja is samsung.How Samsung is better than tecno and others? 1. Better hardware build quality. 2. Has a software skin that adds lots of functionality and features others don't have. 3. Best costomer support. 4. Receives the most developer support. 5. Provides software updates for it's devices (Even them low ends). Plus provides it the fastest, apart from the nexus line of course. 6. Better availability of smartphone spare parts and easier reparability. Need I say more?? It seems you've never used a Samsung galaxy phone or any other Globally recognized android OEM's Flagship before so you seem to think they are all the same. Some phones are called "High end" for a reason, go figure. A brand doesn't just gain recognition for no reason you wold agree with me. It must have a reputation for doing something good hence making people wanting to identify with it. So did Samsung not become the highest market share holder on a day. Oppo find 7?? A phone that has not yet been launched?? No official specs? A proposed 2014 flagship?? Better than the GS4 Doesn't make sense to me maybe it does to you. If there should be any comparison it should be next year and it should go against Sammy's 2014 flagship which is the GS5. You sound like a hatter. |
Senatoresq: Good day all.Had Same problems with my etisalat. Called their customer care and it was solved. Don't know about MTN though. |
It's a troll and Spam app. |
[quote author=nani.666]I'm not comparing.... Just stating the Fact sir....[/quote]Okay. |
Samgreguc: na true o bt, na every case dem dey see doctor first?Not all. Just saying this because most Nigerians do not know the use of pharmacist. If you ask the average Nigerian who a pharmacist is, he'll tell you it's someone who sells drugs. So for a case this serious, it's advisable one sees a doctor first. Not it all cases of course. |
[quote author=nani.666]the Galaxy mega is a better option tho....just saying...[/quote]Different markets. No comparisms are meant to happen here. |
olatunji21: Pls Sir's i have an issue...A Frd of Mine went to a pharmacy shop to lay her complaint abt Constant Stomach ache & She waz.also..Vomiting..a counting drug waz administrred to her..afta using d drug, she complained of severe pain, she later went bk to d chemist where she bought d drug, bt on gettin dere d lady apologised to her dat she wrongly administered d drug tinking dat she want to use it for abortion...Know the difference between a pharmacy and a chemist. Don't just got to any quack for drugs. Go see a doctor first next time. |
There will also be a 16GB variant. It will also get Android 4.4 kit Kat in early Q2 of 2014. |
iykofias: Kai kum see beast, in uk used i hope onYou may have to wait for at least a year to get a UK used one. |
physise: galaxy grand:have galaxy s3 featuresThe design and screen size is what makes me love the phone more. |
Akainzo: The Foxconn deal is MORE about building low end devices and getting them into peoples hand, with the structure being that Foxconn would manage the inventory and help to prevent the kind of write downs that occurred recently. However, BlackBerry would still be making the high end devices by themselves. This was made very clear in the earnings report.TROLL DETECTED!!! I'm not surprised tho. Signature of a typical BB fanboy. |
Akainzo: Read my post and what BlackBerry said in their earnings call, the write down was majorly due to unsold Q10 inventory and as of today the AT&T Z30 is still making its way through FCC approval.I also have access to the best tech gadgets. Difference is I don't just take every shit simply because it has some shitty brand name on it. I've Used a Z30 extensively and I really do hate it because it lacks many things I could get from other Android OEMs' flagships. Things I got with a 2012 flagship. BlackBerry is backward. Are we talking about the problematic and poor camera, terrible contact management or the scary bezels, poor viewing angles, 16gb of internal storage??!?? Like seriously in this time of mobile tech? It was fûcking buggy, apps constantly crashing made me want to smash the phone to the wall. Lack of removable battery (personal con) and what nailed its coffin for me is the poor array of app selection coupled with the fact that without topnotch specs, it's sill overly effing overpriced. The only thing I can commed on the phone is the UI and design (even though they copied HTC with that). And no, the loss was not due to the unsold Q10 units only, it's the entire BB10 OS line. Fanboys gone lie tho. Part of the problem is that the new BlackBerry 10 models just are not catching on with consumers. Of the 4.3 million BlackBerry units sold in the three month period, 3.2 million were BlackBerry 7 OS models. That is quite a revealing, and disturbing, piece of data.http://www.phonearena.com/news/BlackBerry-reports-massive-Q3-loss-takes-huge-charge-for-unsold-BlackBerry-10-handsets_id50590 |
ThePrekky: I use a samsung galaxy s3 and followed the tecno phantom a+ thread well cos I was impressed so I bought the phone for my younger bro. It was every inch worth it considering the price. Not much diff btw the phone and mine so I was well happy with tecno.Tecno is stagnant because of the praises they get from Nigerians for mediocrity. Plus they know the people cannot afford high end specs. |
Akainzo: So in essence, to you, the game changer is relative to sales. Do you see the HTC One as a gamechanger for HTC then, considering it's relatively good sales though it's so well behind the Galaxy ranges?Blackberry failed and flopped with the Z30. It ensured that they had a $4.4bn loss in Q3. So no, they didn't get what they wanted with the Z30, it was no way a game changer. http://www.phonearena.com/news/BlackBerry-reports-massive-Q3-loss-takes-huge-charge-for-unsold-BlackBerry-10-handsets_id50590 Its obvious that you are just a blind fan of the brand, No "balanced review" shows that the z30 outperforms the S4 or HTC one. That's just what you want to think. If that would make you feel better, its allowed. |
Do me a favor, will you? Go and Die please. |
Nokia dumped this idea just last month. They had plans before. This news is outdated. It seems the MODs don't follow tech news. You are not qualified to moderate this section of you don't. On another note, it's too late for nokia even if they want to try. Samsung's dominance is too strong in the mid and high end market. They can't even survive in the low end market either. |
[quote author=joyful~~13]any UJ pharmacists or px student here at all ?[/quote]Ayeee!!! ![]() |
In other news, BlackBerry just announced a $4.4b loss in Q3. What did I hear you say the Z30 was again?? Game changer my a§§. |
walcolm: Of course I have nothing to say to someone like you. You're not worth my timeYet you had the time to type this? Lol...what a re.tard. you've got the time. Problem is you are empty, dull and got nothing to say apart from the lies you cook up in your head to defend your dead phone maker. |
walcolm: You don't deserve a response because you are clearly a fool and you don't have elders where you come fromRather you an empty barrel, a brand freak who doesn't know any thing about tech coming on here to say shït. Bloody retard. Not that I don't deserve a reply, you have nothing to say. |
walcolm: so exactly what is it the quadcore droids can do that the BB10 devices can't do? those using S3, Nexus 4 and even S2 can do everything the 2013 S4 and HTC One can do, just the same way all the BB10s canRun heavy apps and games more smoothly, no app crashes, smoother multitasking, Hardwares that support NFC, many hardware and software add-ONs....etc, your BB can't do shit. its amazing that you are saying BB has many clones when more than 600,000 apps on the Google playstore are useless craps/trojans and worms that add no value to anything and anybody.And you know this how? Used all of them? Or you heard it from your troll masters from them tech sites?? FYI, there is no malware on the play store and at least 90% of apps on the play store are actually useful. This is gotten from reliable stats and not your hateful sentimental BS you form in your head just to defend a dying company that you have wet dreams for. the remaining 300,000 are variants of the same thing. No OS/platform in the history of the world is as guilty as the android platform in perpetuating viruses, trojans and worms...even microsoft is a saint compared to androidAgain, no malware on the play store (Which is the ideal source of Android apps). Any virus you get is from an outside source. Ironically, that's where you BB users boast about getting android .apk files from LoL. you are the one who claims the leaks are buggy,...and again, android is even more guilty of having leaks and variants of its OS all over the place....this is a clear case of a pot on a charcoal fire place calling kettle black....It is the app developers and not Android you dummy. And you slowpoke, apps are it found 'on' an OS but 'for' an OS an you are the one that will be held responsible not Google, for downloading apps from third party sites. LoL, funny how you sounded in this part of your comment as though the above BS you wrote had prooved shit. the only reason android got wide acceptance is that the OS allows sideloading....BB has always had the sideloading feature even from legacy BBOS and now its so much more enhanced in the BB10 OS because it allows installation of android apps and all of a sudden, android fan bois think sideloading is a bad idea and anotherive reason why BB should just dieThe same apps you call buggy and malware, you still boast of being able to side load them? How stupi.d can you get. And no, the reason android got acceptance is because its a more reliable platform, availability of varaiety & quality apps. We don't need to side load shit we get them apps easy. The average user or girl will want to due able to download an app with ease and wouldn't want to go through the stress of side loading bullshit. That even if they know what it means. are you really putting things in perspective?You ignored his points and started to attack the OS because the blind love you have for a company that doesn't know you exist. I wouldn't be surprised that you do not even own a BB10 device. You are a user of a lower model who once saw owning a BB as a status symbol and cannot get over the fact the they are not on top any longer. The way you sound, it shows that you do jot even know how the side loading shiit works. |
BBs are over priced. They are not as good as an iPhone or android flagship yet more expensive. |
2buff: LOl. as to the bolded You need to update your statistics. You are debating with very outdated data. I'm also speaking from the advanced POV of an app developer.You should be the the one who needs to updete yuur ststs. An iPhone costs lesser to produce than most other flagship Android OEMs but they are priced almost twice as much as much the top android OEMs that relates to their higher profits. Plus the sold 6 million in just one weekend. The might be the first to sell 100million units at the end of the day. The fact that you don't like them doesn't mean others are like you. "Sammy" spams the market with the same thing over and over again. I like it when I see the other guys like Sony and LG release something. You can expect it to be fresh. Samsung is just some generic stuffs. Jack of all trades master of none. They tried recently to get into winphone 8 but released such a generic product which had no visual difference from their other cloned designs that they were no match for nokia on that front.Sammy releases different models for different markes. Reason by the own the android Ecosystem. Dal with it. |
2buff: Samsung just keeps spitting out the same ol' ish. They're just as tired as the now dying apple ios.First of all, I do not like apple and would never buy an iPhone. But to suggest that they are dying is a big joke when every single event an happening suggests otherwise. Till today, apple still has by far the highest smartphone profit margins. Same old fish? All these devices are for different markets. A very good market strategy hat works perfectly for them. Evident in the fact that they are the only android OEM that actually makes reasonably high profits. Actually the only android OEM close or competing with Apple. Why wouldn't one think of Sammy when android is mentioned?? They are actually the ones that made android this popular. They have the highest global smartphone market share. Have a seat and stop hating. |

Doesn't make sense to me maybe it does to you. If there should be any comparison it should be next year and it should go against Sammy's 2014 flagship which is the GS5. You sound like a hatter.
