BB Z10 - Will it Survive?



So the latest “Talk of the Town” is the New BB Z 10 ! I see Rs. 43,490 Trending on Twitter ! Yes that’s the price for the new Blackberry Z 10! What is more interesting is the tweets done by some of the twitter users!


The only reason according to me why people really bought a BB Phone was due to the craze of Blackberry Messenger – the other reason if at all was there would probably have been due to the instant emails for Professionals. But with the introduction of phones like Samsung Galaxy S3, Nexus, Nokia Lumia, Samsung Galaxy Note & Samsung Galaxy Grand & an app like “Whatsapp” who will spend ridiculously extra money for something which they are getting at a much affordable price with better features & quality?


With the announcement of the price of the new BB Z10, everyone has gone berserk & are questioning the pricing & reasons for the same. What unique feature or extra added advantage does the BB Z10 have to offer?  

 In the past many Android phones have offered better features at lower prices or at the same price range.  The new BB Z10 is said to be competing with the Iphone 5, I am not an Iphone fan but I can never really compare a BB to an Iphone ! Besides the touchscreen for BB phones have always been bad compared to other touch-screen phones. I am very skeptical about this very new phone.


BlackBerry, which faced strong criticism for lack of content on its application store, has revamped it to take on Android's Play Store and Apple's App Store & has also introduced 'BlackBerry Balance' that will allow users separate professional data and applications from music, photographs and other personal items. I don’t think this would really make me want to buy it, Nothing really great that excites me in the phone which will make me want to spend that kind of money !!


I won’t be surprised if the BB sales & revenue drop!


Oh by the way here’s  a glimpse of some of the tweets i liked from Twitter!

  2. Only if you are a Serious Business User, will you understand the value of this Phone.

    The phone has exceptionally good touch screen keypad that allows you to type really, Accurately.

    This is USP of BB.

    The ability to open all .html web-sites, like IRCTC and BANKING Sites is another major plus.

    Screen Size just under 5 - Inch, makes it a great looking Phone, that does not look like a Brick holding to your ear.

    The "Samsungs" and other phones can never really touch the core of BB, that is the Emails and BBM.

    Its all about Business with Pleasure, and that target segment of BB understands the value this phone brings to the table.

    Just need to work on APPS and BB 10 can get into a serious competition with IPHONE.

    Battery Life is Good. And Form Factor Perfect.

    I give it a Perfect 10.

    Its like a Mini Laptop in your Hand.

    :)

  3. Sorry i don't agree on the part that "Samsungs" and other phones can't touch the emails part - I've used BB for 2 months & now using Samsung & i don't see no difference :)
