As we all know innovation follows trends and as trends go the new Z10 doesn’t really set a standard to follow but anyone who buys a Z10 will buy it because they love BlackBerry and not because they are trend setters. It’s a good phone with a smart look. More to follow I’m sure.

I’m sure the Blackberry fans stuck with them because of the keyboard but now it’s gone, I think they may have made a very big mistake!

Can be summed up thus: What are RIM doing that is different to any other smartphone maker? Answer nothing. What possible factors does RIM’s products have to ensure market differentiation/success? Answer nothing.
Sad death throes from a company that unfortunately doesn’t have anywhere to go.

They should have just made an android phone. I doubt there will even be enough apps on blackberry to stop people switching to android or ios.

The only way I can see them surviving is if it’s cheap and can be rooted or something and have android installed on it.

You’re right mate – I honestly believe their time is up, time to be swallowed by the Microsoft Juggernaut.

Its a sad day when you lose a major innovator in a market, this will just be another of those.

Nokia seems keen to innovate and get back to what it does best, RIM seem more placated to troddle out things that are too-little too-late. I’d love to see RIM hammer Apple from the sidelines, but I doubt it will happen.

I’m confident Microsoft’s WP8 / RT environment will continue to erode the business sector from everyone else EXCEPT Samsung with their Samsung Secure environment (borrowing plenty from Microsoft in Patents apparently). I’d be surprised if RIM could fit in its old boots, WP8 is screaming along with the Lumia 920. RIM is a lost cause IMO.
