Blackberry Z10...not bad!

Link: Blackberry Z10 vs iPhone 5 - Business Insider

I don't know...Blackberry may be the OS of choice if i ever change from Apple. BB10 OS is super smooth (as seen in video above) and fast. It is like a combination of Android features with Apple's stability/smoothness. Of course, the problem is the lack of apps, support, and unknown future. In addition, BBs were never known for their camera. But, they have always been known for their reception (major criteria for me!) and reliability (another major criteria). The build quality of the handset looks great...much better than most Androids!

What do you guys think?

Looks pretty interesting, I honestly thought RIM was closing up shop.

I work with a lot of international companies and almost everyone in my world uses a Blackberry Bold or Curve. The torch? Not so much. I too am looking forward to the V10 that will be coming out soon. The best feature will be, for people like me who work with insane security, is a dual use software that allows for personal apps and email alongside work apps and email. With a simple press of the button it will toggle personal to business. Like carrying two phones? Yeah I know. It does not take much to excite me these days.

iPhone already has a feature like this, I know the DHS just authorized it for use in the USCG but I'm not sure what it's called since its above my pay grade. (well the email server app is called good link) but I don't know the other part. But I know all the iPhone's I have seen in use also have a 10 digit key encrypted password to unlock the phone as well.

Also what I meant about RIM going out of business was all the talk of them possibly being bankrupt during 2012 and their mega fail entry into the tablet market.

Now that DHS and DOJ have went with the iPhone for the new "secure" job phone I really don't see how Blackberry/RIM can survive. They need a strong push to get dev's on board and pay them incentives for dev'ing. That is the main thing that keeps iOS and Android around. The other two things are Apple's marketing and Android's open source. Win8 mobile sucks IMHO after playing around with it multiple times and Blackberry really needs to step it's game up for this or else it will be round two of RIM failure.
