    • oneinfiniteloop: IMO, it presents a cohesive story of a mobile devices use.
      Jan 11, 2:20 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Seems like the video is touting features which Blackberry hasn't talked about yet. Jan 30th launch will be very interesting indeed.
      Jan 11, 2:32 AM
    • turtledividend: $BBRY bb10 is somewhat of a hybrid phone. A bit of $MSFT window tiles and Apple's skeumorphic icons which is a bit daft.
      Jan 11, 2:33 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: yeah, but the features that it offers is simply compelling @turtledividend. Just look at this video: http://bit.ly/VOwjOA
      Jan 11, 2:37 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Sorely missed these videos on our beloved $NOK. I think $BBRY is going to cause people to turn their heads around.
      Jan 11, 2:39 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: All those guys who are singing are execs at $BBRY. Chris Smith looks a lot like Steve Jobs :)
      Jan 11, 2:40 AM
    • turtledividend: I've seen the product infinite, not my taste. Hope it sells :)
      Jan 11, 2:41 AM
    • Eld: wow the BB10 has been inspired by Jolla too!
      Jan 11, 2:43 AM
    • turtledividend: I know you meant to say Symbian :)
      Jan 11, 2:47 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Oh, wasn't aware about that Eld.
      Jan 11, 2:47 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: @turtledividend, $BBRY's CEO has made it clear that his focus is on the Enterprise and I think BB10 goes a long way along that route.
      Jan 11, 2:49 AM
    • turtledividend: Simplicity is the key factor reason apple and windows will continue to grow. You can also add Linux to that list, complicated.
      Jan 11, 2:49 AM
    • Eld: I was not either, but look at the home screen, looks a lot like Sailfish by Jolla :) but BB10 seems poor in terms of functions though
      Jan 11, 2:49 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Eld, do you have some video link to Jolla? Would like to watch that.
      Jan 11, 2:50 AM
    • Eld: Have a look at that :) http://bit.ly/SJbJyB
      Jan 11, 3:03 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Watch the demo of Jolla here: http://bit.ly/ZOvs62 If you look you see the device has Nokia written at the top on the device!
      Jan 11, 3:03 AM
    • Eld: Nice Jolla commercial: http://bit.ly/UTgmLe
      Jan 11, 3:04 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: Very nice commercial, now that I saw what Jolla is the commercial makes absolute sense. Why couldn't $MSFT get this into Windows 8 day 1!
      Jan 11, 3:11 AM
    • Eld: Jolla has clearly an edge on its approach of smartphone user experience. Wish I could buy a few shares :-)
      Jan 11, 3:16 AM
    • turtledividend: Because Nokia probably funded Jolla.
      Jan 11, 3:17 AM
    • Eld: @turtle: NOK kept all IPR related, not sure they funded Jolla. http://bit.ly/WVUlq1
      Jan 11, 3:20 AM
    • Eld: They probably funded partly through the Bridge program though. But Jolla raised EUR 200m end of 2012, and prob. no EUR 200m from NOK :)
      Jan 11, 3:21 AM
    • turtledividend: Correct, I based my assumption on Nokia's helping local business. I heart Nokia: )
      Jan 11, 3:25 AM
    • Eld: Jolla is more than a local business :p they have tight links with China mobile, and are the former MeeGo crew!
      Jan 11, 3:30 AM
    • turtledividend: Understood, meeGo to bathroom now :P
      Jan 11, 3:36 AM
    • Eld: lool
      Jan 11, 3:39 AM
    • Charles Santerre: I need to say it is impressive idea. How it will pan out in reality we will see. It may just be meh... or it could be the start of something
      Jan 11, 6:58 AM
    • cheznazi: LOOL! They couldn't find a good looking developer from India so they used actor Shahid Kapoor! Haa!
      Jan 11, 7:52 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: @cheznazi could you provide a link where the YouTube video shows Shahid Kapoor being used as a developer by $BBRY?
      Jan 11, 8:18 AM
    • cheznazi: Same link provided by you @oneinfiniteloop. See video@ 1:35. Shows Shahid's face but the narration is "developer from India..."
      Jan 11, 8:33 AM
    • Charles Santerre: After I have had a few gulps of coffee, I think the video is pure celebrity glam. So the phone can record sound, accept text & surf big wow
      Jan 11, 8:57 AM
    • C.E.: Charles, this is celebrity marketing. Nothing unusual. Don't overestimate the masses, afterall iFans can be wowed by an extra row of icons.
      Jan 11, 9:33 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: @cheznazi, I don't think that is Shahid Kapoor; I bing'ed and compared it with the video they are two different people (I think :)
      Jan 11, 10:44 AM
    • zeeman1: Its SHahid Kapoor
      Jan 11, 11:04 AM
    • cheznazi: It's Shahid ma friend! I also think it is from that movie shot in Canada with Vidya Balan
      Jan 11, 11:18 AM
    • oneinfiniteloop: wow! I am still squinting my eyes @cheznazi :) Thanks.
