You spotted the hint eh. Now i dont have to pretend i dont know - April 23rd is the Caribbean-wide launch with availability, from jamaica to trinidad

They didn't announce pricing, but it was told to me again that its gonna be less than what a lot of ppl are thinking, at least on contract

[Khafra]

Launch happening in Hilton right now.

The Hilton Launch today was for enterprise customers and especially the launch of BES10

Consumer launch and availability comes later in the month. i must say though that the room was packed (government and private enterprise clients) and everyone was very eager to see the hands-on demoes of the Z10 done by the Bmobile staff after the presentation.

It was of course humorous for me when the Bmobile rep demoed my own apps for me and other ppl at the table.

BlackBerry guys presented and demoed several features on stage including 4G video/voice calling with BBM screen sharing (i've used it myself and its excellent). The sentiment in the room was that this was a high quality, perfect for business product. I think they made an excellent pitch.

I'm thinking that Z10 is going to be priced higher at bmobile than the price independent dealers currently sell it for as this is usually the case. I know they offer a one year warranty but is it worth it?

I am telling you it will NOT be more than CURRENT dealer prices, dealers are going to have to drop that price when it goes on sale

[tr1ad]

As far as our folks that were at the "Launch" were told, these would be subsidized just as the iPhone and android devices, with 4G plans of course

[stev]

some die hard android and iphone users from the office (blackberry haters as well) went to the launch....they are considering buying actually.

The launch had one of the best BB10 presentations I've seen to date, and described many of the enterprise friendly features as well

'porting' in this case means that an android developer can take his android app and easily create a version to run on BB10. this was made possible when RIM decided to make the blackberry emulation engine available to developers.


so u cant download an android .apk and run it on your Z10 just so...it just means that a lot of the useful and popular apps u get on android will be available for blackberry (depending on the developer).

this is very cool indeed....i just hope they doh add a pricetag on the apps they port for BB10. lol

some downsides at the moment: the emulation engine is not enough to properly port an android app at the moment (it works but not well)...obviously this will get better in the near future.

as a result, apps that are ported by the developer using the engine alone wud not be as smooth on BB10 and will definitely have issues....again...which will only get better as time goes by.

[tr1ad]

You can take the .apk file and convert it to .bar format to side load via a very small application and it's very simple to do so. I have done it with numerous apps.
What rim is trying to do is get these developers to create the specific versions for thw os10 devices as when ported not everything from the app transfers over most times.

A good example of perfect porting is the tuner app which runs with no problems.

I have been using this ported app for a week with not a problem, I gave khafra a copy to try on his device as well.

Haven't heard any issues yet.

[Stephon.]

Oh ok cool, thanks

[Khafra]

No issues at all, Google Maps, Facebook Messenger, Facebook Pages Manager also work well with no performance issues
