Default Blackberry coming through!

Obviously BB/RIM has seen better days, but Blackberry10 looks pretty impressive. The whole Peek/Flow/Hub concept as well as the integration of all messages, social media, calendar, etc., it just seems like a giant leap forward. Looking forward to this coming out in Q1 2013. Sounds like there will be a full touch & qwerty version both coming out around the same time.

Cool, but I don't think I'll be dumping my iPhone for it until my iPhone dies.

That is exactly what my life has been missing. I just get up out of bed every day and think to myself: "This is great, but I wish that all of my messages, social media, and calendar could be a little more integrated."

Different strokes for different folks. I am verrrr happy with my non-smart flip phone with it's mil-spec ruggedization and nothing else but a phone & txt msg capability. I am happy for RIM though it sucked watching them circle the drain. Maybe they pull through if the product release is well done.

This thread title makes me lawl.



I don't think I want all messages coming through a central source. Sometimes I want to block/ignore all the damn FB messages I get. If someone sends me an SMS, I look at it immediately b/c it's someone I actually may care about.



Either way, I don't think it's revolutionizing anything. There are apps that do that for Android.



If they want anyone to take them seriously, they need to start with removing the French Canuckien from the stage.
