- The screen is excellent, more retina than "retina" 385ppi i think
- its fast even with the beta software, no crashes, no spinning clock, the QNX kernel is working very well
- Despite the much larger screen it's still comfortable for one-handed use (unlike my Note 2)
- The camera so far is on par with the iphone 4S camera
- Multitasking is excellent, its funny that you can multitask android apps in bb10 better than android itself.
- There are already 10's of 1000's of apps already in App world for it
- I like the way it's very easy for a developer to do a custom active frame for when the app in minimized
- I like the way the messaging hub isnt an app that you click and run, its a part of the OS core and runs 24/7 never closes, always there no matter what you are doing.

Lovely! I saw some reports on most of my freq app being worked on/tested eg (fb/photobucket etc).

How has the voice commands been so far for you with a Trini accent? (If your beta had that)

I used it on the Z10 and it works well once u speak properly, no wajang talk is gonna work on it. Better than siri though.

I saw that vid which impressed me.


Reason I asked was because me and Siri always had problem even when I spoke clearly.

You know me so well.

Only thing that has me down is the iPhone cam comment. Not really a plus for me in that regard.

[kurpal_v2]

The 4s really wasn't a really bad cam yuhno, it is on par with the 5 iirc so it's not really a negative either.

When i say on par, its more than just image quality, but speed and features as well. feature wise the BB10 camera gives you more options. I think it takes maybe 2.5 seconds from pressing the camera button to being ready to take the pic.

Getting more and more excited for BB10

[eitech]

I want to unlock my bb curve 9300. It currently locked to bmobile. What do I need to do?

[Trini Hookah]

Call ABA Trading.

Sirri doesn't know about white oak

[foss]

my phone starting to give chubble :/

[j.o.e]

Can't wait for this device....hope bmobile doesn't stick. My 9900 microphone starting to act up

[ismithx]

must say i am interested in BB10..... but if i had a final choice from a developer POV I would go with Firefox mobile or Ubuntu mobile cuz i love html5-based development

[Strauss]

It's looking good.
Let's see if they were too late or end up like:

BetaMAX
OS/2 Warp
WebOS
Taligent
Newton
Netscape
BeOS

Lol I spent a few mins arguing with Siri "where can I find white oak"

Ask Siri what she's wearing today!!

Right now BB10 is the king of HTML5 app development, their framework has much wider APIs than phonegap, and it's opensourced

[M_2NR]

It's wonderful to see Trinis getting the alpha device at least.

Btw are you under an NDA or anything? I'm not gonna shoot you or anything but I saw @stroughtonsmith post a lot about it in the past and it eh looking like is crazy like an apple NDA for instance.
The ability to run the android apps is excellent. How are the core apps like BBM etc? Same/similar functionality?

I'm under NDA for things that haven't yet leaked because unlike most ppl with a dev alpha, i did get time with a real device as well BBM is better nicer, and will come with voice + video calls + screen sharing capabilities while in the call

attaching a pic taken with the dev alpha

[Rooki3]

nice phote

That's the beauty of developing BB10 from QNX — similar to Apple's OSX and iOS from UNIX/FreeBSD. QNX is a good foundation and is also UNIX like. I can see the strength of the component type of structure... reminds me of how the Contructicons from Transformers combine to form Devastator

do want.....

[crazybalhead]

I jess get a new bold. Meh...

[MG Man]

company fone biz?
Lots of companies say they won;t switch from BB because all their security stuff already configured for BB.........either way, I couldn't be bothered what phone my employer gives me, cuz in any event it free........just like le company vehicle....stripped down 4x4 BT50, but who cares, it free :p

[Khafra]

The BB10 browser itself is an HTML5 application, and it scores higher than any other mobile or desktop browser currently in use, also passes L0 and L1 ringtest

[Stephon.]

All this hype around bb10. Let's hope it translates into sales. It would be a shame for them to fail in 2013. We all know they have the Trinidad market on lock tho.

Treat that sh!t with kid gloves.. There's no telling when it'll blow!!
