Hopes up? I couldn't care less if blackberry 10 is successful, just because I won't buy into your obviously false "no other platform can ever succeed" nonsense doesn't mean I'm pleading for this particular one to be the one to do it.
People buy new smartphones every two years. Its very different than most other markets. Not to mention many people only download free apps (especially Android users), so they aren't concerned with "buying in" to an ecosystem.
Look, don't worry, Android isn't going anywhere anytime soon, but that doesn't mean another platform can't succeed as well.
Ya ok bud.tell that to the people that are nested into there ecosystems.People buy smartphones but they usually stick to what they have and that's IOS and ANDROID and most will not even bother changing.
Like I said this new BB is 2 years late to the game.Rim as a platform has failed before and will fail again,heck its already a fail before it comes out and you don't have to believe anything I say but its the truth.
Try getting someone that has had an iphone for 3 years and have them switch to an android or windows phone,its not happening!!! and the same goes for most people that have had android for 2-3 years.
ITunes music alone keeps most people on ios and the same goes for android.I have about 600-800 worth of bought legal music in my iTunes acc.Do you think any of my family members want to leave all that and go to the new BB ?
Lets not forget that RIMM has already failed as the market changed in the past also
Why would a dev code for the new BB when android and ios own the market share? you can port all you want but it will run like crap not coded for its device from the ground up.
You somehow think over night rimm will have a music and app store like ios and android have? seriously ? lol lets not forget the open platform android has over ios and everyone else.Im sure people will wait days in line for the new BB
IM sorry I just don't see anyone really switching from ios or android to the new BB
