So everone in the world is a Nigerian. On the same forum that some of you claim blackberry is dead?

Facts will be rubbish for an ignorant mind. So, if a phone is not launched officially here that means you can not use it here. My S2 was the T-MOBILE version. Go figure how I got it. I bought the Z10 before it was launched here, you can figure that out too.

Nairaland so full of ignorant kids that think they know.

And for your big part, some ofyou don't know the kind of people you respondto on anonymous forums. 10years plus experience in IT/Telecoms industry isn't a joke. I bet you are still in school 10 years ago.

Learn to respond to people properly even if you have a contrary opinion

From all ur post on this thread so far, u have only succeeded in posting the craps u ar made up of. You keep calling everyone a kid when it is totally clear you ar d one reasoning with the IQ of a toddler. This is an interactive forum where everyone airs his or her views. if u cant examine issues rationally and give meaningful contribution please don't resort to calling people kids. You come to a faceless network to brag about 10yrs of IT experience, please keep that to yourself we've seen enough people who come here to brag about what they would like to be in the real world.

You quoted my post first and called it rubbish, and this is your last resort? Did you see your handle in my intial post?Seriously?

Mind you, I just quoted you.

Go back and read your response to my post before playing the victim card. If you don't want to get into an e-fight like you claimed, do not insult someone tactfully on an anonymous forum. It is as simple as that. Don't want to be called a kid? Don't act or write like one.

So many analysts here focus on sentiments rather than factual observations.

The old OS on BlackBerry was outdated. This threatened RIM's existence. BB10 was designed to correct the basic flaws on existing black berries.

BlackBerry 10 is a brand new OS with no hang over to the old system. It was built from the ground up.

Z10 (which runs on the BB10 platform) has the ability to match the average high end phone in the market. Reviews (even from critics) have been commendable. The only limitation (as with every brand new OS) is the relatively 'small' app market and little bugs that are being corrected with OTA updates...now what do you need 2 million apps for?

Multitasking, video chat via bbm, HF gaming, high end apps, voice clarity (including HD audio) , BBM chat, best touch keyboard etc are features you will find on the new z10.

how can you ridicule something you have not used or upgraded your knowledge about. Same way

BashToks:

I cringe when I come across threads that compare Blacberries to Droids. Naija is known to always carry last when it comes to technology and developments.
The only other phone manufacturer that's in the same class is.. well Apple.

@Those saying Z10s gettin android apps. That the biggest joke I ever heard. The BB10 OS is a major improvement by Blackberry (formerly RIM) but dey arent gettin android apps. And to make mayyers worse its gona tak a while for developers to take the OS seriously thats if the franchise survives. People shud read up more on stuf.

As seen from the pictures below, BlackBerry 10 as a platform can play android apps through an emulator just the same android plays its apps. It won't play ALL the apps (e.g apps that are built with the android NDK exclusively) but it definitely does play android apps. In fact a good number of apps on BlackBerry Workd are android apps.

What's better, is you can port android apps your self and side load them on your phone (You can see instagram and flipboard running in one of the pictures and those aren't on BlackBerry World yet) THere's a tutorial on how to do that here:
http://www.techsuplex.com/2013/04/02/tip-how-to-install-android-apps-on-your-blackberry-z10-and-playbook/

Coming from someone that uses all the platforms side by side daily, one platform, would never be better than the other, WHy? because everyone's needs are different.

just thought to chip that in, for more techy, gadgety stuff, feel free to visit the blog www.techsuplex.com

I just pity these android users in 9ja. By d time u pay heavily 4 data usage u'll do nothing but run bk 2 BB. I'm not saying BB is d best but let's be frank, d economic status of most pple in dis country does not really favour d usage of most of these android or IOS phones. u all claim 2 hv all dis free browsing tweaks and cheats; just wait till d ntwk operators outsmart u and fall your hand. Remembered wen Nokia java and symbian still rocked I was alwys looking 4 d latest browsing cheats infact I made a business 4rm it until I started using BB; I don't worry about my data usage with unlimited download. Never knew browsing could be so sweet and stress-free; infact I just wasted my time den but it wuz fun sha!
I make sure any device I use soothes my lifestyle. All d useful app like whatsapp, operamini, UCweb, googlemap, repligo reader, instant mail service, bible, some games etc run very fine on my BB and I'm very prudent with my battery usage. I only open apps I nid, I close down those I'm not using. I'm not a game freak, I hv fast access 2 my contacts, I hv d freedom 2 choose btw BBM, whatsapp, 2go, Badoo, etc Tell me what else do I need!!!
Most of u shouting android dis and dat are not in tune wit reality in 9ja; infact I'm sure most of u are not currently in 9ja. Most android users I know in 9ja also hv a BB. When u cum 2 9ja all 'ur android and iphones will becoming nothing better than a 2way radio or a cellular. Get dat into 'ur thick android blackwashed brains. BEEF!!!
The truth about dis issue is dat America can't just stand competition with products 4rm other countries. Hp u know dat BB is a canadian company while iPhone and android(google) are yankee based. So do d analysis u'll realise why they are so bent on bringing BB down @ all cost. Its pure BEEF!!!
Come 2 think of it just because TECNO now runs on android dat is enough justification 4 me to buy it? TECNO my foot!!!
Pls its a free world, let everybdy choose wat is best 4 them according 2 wat their pocket says.
N.B:- BB Z10 was not made with d average 9ja user in mind so I can't recommend it if wat u're lukin 4 is unlimited data usage rather go for os 6 or 7 BBs. Thank u!

Very sick kids all over Nairaland, why not buy both phones and use them ? Why Criticize the technologies from consumer point of view when you cant even afford them ? Z1O and infact BB10 is ported for Android Apps.

thelastPope:

This is not exactly correct. Blackberry uses a compression technique to save data but this does not apply to every Internet function in BB. It applies mainly to chat and email. Now with BB10, the BBM has been separated from the other Internet access. The reason BB still saves data is because the applications don't access the Internet like droid apps. If you control your data access in droid, you can achieve the same data efficiency.

Also, with BB10, blackberry phones will consume data just like any droid phones. The reason it is still cool in Nigeria is because most Nigerians mainly do chat and email. By the time you start downloading badazz apps and doing regular updates and playing online games, you go know say kaki no be leather.

BB is already going the way of the dinosaurs and BB10 was a very weak attempt at come back. Whatsapp is certainly about to send bbm to oblivion. BB's days are numbered.

SO since WhatsApp is also available on the iPhone, I suppoose it would also send the iMessaging to oblivion and by extension the iPhone too?

Yes, the reason the old BlackBerries are cool in Nigeria is because of the data allowance and their cheaper associated cost, are you implyuing that given the same situation, a Smart Alec like you would prefer to pay more for a service than pay less?

BB going the way of the dinosaurs??, Mehn, the BB10 sold more in the first week than HTC One, is HTC on its way to oblivion?

Do ponder on these things I have raised.
