Around here people that have seen the new blackberry 10 footage are saying that this could stomp android and ios(in this country)
Its normal considering blackberry was the "It" a year ago
What do you guys think about the blackberry 10 new OS? And what impact do you think it may have in the mobile os war?

And apple thought samsung stole their UI? cant wait for this. Surprised RIM could scrounge up enough money to develop anything at this point. Almost seems like they are reinventing what all phones already do. I dunno, just my 2cents. Yes BB were the leaders of smartphones, but that was at a time when their competition was palm and their $600-800 mini tablet/phones.
Blackberry eww

ftfy lol. In all seriousness though I dont see BB doing anything except disappearing completely. If they do regain relevance and a majority market share then I will rethink my agnostic ideas because the only way BB is making a come back is if someone sells their soul to the devil. IMO.

I love OS's that utilizes swiping in the UI. Something I really miss in Android after using MeeGo for a while. Android seems so stiff compared to stuff like that even though I prefer Android for other reasons.

What's with all the rampant fanboyism? You guys sound like iOS fans who were oblivious to Android before. Guess what happened to them?
RIM was really slow to adapt with their old keyboard phones, yes, but this new video is showing that they ARE starting to adapt and actually rethinking the interface flow. iOS homescreen was all icons and they sat on that without innovation for years. Android gave us widgets, pulldown notifications, and a recents menu, but you still have to press a button to see it. BB10 is saying **** it, make the thumbnails on the homescreen itself, and have the messaging hub always swipable. They are good ideas, even if they aren't going to dominate the market anytime soon.

Opinions.....Don't insult others before stating your opinion, it doesn't make it stronger or 'right'. This is what people think/feel. If that is too much to handle then don't reply to it. OP asked what others thought, and that is what we are doing.
looks pretty nice, and more competition means more evolution so lets hope they can make a comeback:what:

I also think it looks pretty nice and simple. I wouldn't mind to have it as my second device. Fingers crossed! I'm getting little tired of android. Some refreshing variation would be nice.
Yea seems interesting.. Does definitely seem like a mix between mostly iOS and some android in their.. Looks user friendly looks smooth but to me its a little bit of ugly. Device itself is ugly, and also os already seems outdated their nothing really exciting or revolutionary so yea. Good luck with that.

if you're going to lie about having one, at least get the specs of the screen right.
I agree, this screen is far better than I thought it would be. I have a iPhone 4s which is better of course but I would say the extra space comes close to offsetting the blurry text edges which is a minor annoyance to me. The colors are great.

Funny. Other than the marketplace, this phone is in every single way better than the Galaxy Nexus I replaced with it. Due to the piece of crap pentile on the Gnex, the resolution difference is only marginally noticeable.
The build quality of the Nokia vs the Galaxy Nexus isn't even a comparison, nor is the polish of the OS. I'm so glad to be back with WP.

Precisely. Each OS is different. iOS is great, it's great - solid and smooth - but it's getting dated and needs a bit of an overhaul. Android is an awesome OS, if you don't mind the lag, and lack of general reliability that comes along with it. WP is a fantastic third option. Great aesthetics, the smoothness of iOS, it just needs a better marketplace, which will come with time. iOS has been on the market for 5 years now, and 4 years for Android. WP7 has been on the market for about a year and a half, and is already a very strong competitor. I think that speaks volumes.

I've been a long time iPhone user, since the first one, and I just bought a Galaxy s3 and can honestly say I don't miss it at all. The new one is just more of the same....
This is probably going to get locked down real fast.....but its definitely a BIG dissappointment. Some of my friends are turning into hypocrites real fast saying they'll buy it. Especially when they told me"I don't need a bigger screen, 3.5 is more than enough" this was when I had the x10, captivate, nexus s etc. iPhone users need to wake up.

Actually, what we really need would be Google Wallet support for our GS3's without the hack-around. But we know that wouldn't work with Apple since they're now Anti-Google. Forget where i saw it... think it was on the news earlier, but i like how they put it. Something along the lines of "There is so much competition between Apple and Google, that Apple decided to recreate the world." in regards to Apple's new maps system.

This.
Its almost impossible to get (cheap) nfc tags in Canada. I asked a Best Buy rep at the Eaton Centre store in Toronto a couple of days ago, and he had no idea what NFC was.
I was really hoping the new iphone would have it so that it would become 'mainstream', but guess we have to wait another year now. Also, doesn't help that stupid S Beam is incompatible with Android Beam (try transferring photos to any non-GS3 phone, it will fail..till we get updated to JellyBean)

i remember reading reviews almost 'ranting' about how light the galaxy s and galaxy s ii were. people were saying 'too light', 'does not feel premium because phone does not feel substantial in hand', 'iphone is perfect with high quality weight to it', 'sometimes not sure if in pocket or not'. something along those lines.
and i read this on a youtube comment but I think it could hold some truth. could Apple have not included nfc (even if it wanted to/why wouldn't they want to?), because it already finalized its aluminum design? fail.

Just to explain why some might be that way. Is basically cause we like all forms of technology including competing phones to Android, we research to see what we are up against. I for one think the iPhone is a great device, for people that want simple but works. I've read more about the iPhone then I've read about most new androids... I've also turned many of my friends who were huge on the iPhone to start using android. Overall most people don't dislike the iPhone just the maker...

Totally agree, it's their business practices that lost me as a fan back when they released the original iPhone. Still bought iPods until I got my Vibrant in 2010, then they all collected dust until I bought a Nano to use as a watch. But I'll never, ever own an iPhone. Android=freedom to customize and affords the opportunity to learn at least a little on how things work.

Hysterical!
Don't get me started on their business practices. The only Apple product I've ever owned was an iPod Video and even that was a gift. It's mind blowing with the iPods how they had all the technology to make the iPod Video the first generation iPod, but they purposefully stripped useful features away so they can slowly add the features back and sell it as a whole new device. The really unexpected part is stupid people still pay for it!
It's the same thing with the iPhone now. There's no reason why the iPhone 4S only had a 800 Mhz processor when everyone else was putting out 1.0 to 1.5Ghz processors. It's the same business tactic. Put out a substandard product now, release a later version with some of the stripped features, make idiots buy the same device twice.
You guys have to check out his article.
Wacky things heard in a carrier store!
I think this rep needs to work in the Apple store rather than at AT&T. Obviously he is clueless as to which phones was included in the lawsuit that Apple won as the Galaxy S3 wasn't included in that trial. Even though Apple is trying to in another case.
This is one reason why I hate ordering phones in store.
So I'm flipping through the channels and come across Tim Cook on ABC. And they show the Samsung Galaxy S3 commercial that shows people waiting for the iPhone. He said apple loves competition, ya right. And now they are talking about getting into TVs. Seems to me that apple is now noticing what us Android owners already know. That they where the leader in the phone bussiness but now left behind.

all companies are going to branch out into markets that they are already connected to through competition. apple really hasn't ever invented anything, they've just been extremely good at marketing. it has nothing to do with which phone is better, because there is a user for every phone, it just depends on what you're looking for. i was talking to a girl today who has an iphone and she was like holy **** your phone looks awesome. i showed her all the cool **** i can do on it that she can't on hers, and well... she wasn't impressed at all. she didn't care about rooting, she didn't care about custom keyboards, themes, etc... all she cared about was how nice the screen was, that it was bigger, and that it multitasked better, which is something that apple needs to work on and they know it. so yeah... at least the iphone can copy and paste now!

I have a friend who is a apple fanboy. He asked me to explain to him why Android is better than Apple. Spent an hour telling him what Android can do compared to apple. At the end, he's still stupid.

Ya i saw the lil bit on abc i thought it was freaking funny as hell! "We love competition because it gives us new ideas to call our own" Is what he was really saying... Trying to say we will build one mac in the US... come on apple show us one thing you you actually invented and not just improved on.... LOL
I theorize that apple is just were they want to be. They have their little garden and their fruit too. People are and will be sucked in. I wantedbabtablet 2 years ago but got an itouch. This was very important because I had a phone at the time that had simmilar specs yet slower than molases ona flat table in alaska! People who adopted android early on went to apple because they were fed up with bugs, slowness and the fact they werent really good. Today, this just is NOT the case but people still distrust android even in its late stage. The apple garden offers all their "speed" at a price. You buy all apple and your stuck with it, Cause its so damn expensive! Comparing android to ios is pointless in the wprld of today because the gap has been filled in with cement. I stayed with android after playong in webos and ios. Android won because I saw the potential as the specs just got more and more ridiculus and the battery finally decent enough to have a phone thats useable. If you look back at apples history you can see steve jobs saved the company. So apple being worried is plausable yet highly implausible. Theyve sols too many things to come close to finacial woes. They need an apple tv because people wanted one. So once everyones convinced they arent gonna make one, we'll see one.

Erm? Apple already has made TVs lol. And monitors for their computers. The only reason apple has so much more money and net worth is because they make 10 times the products android does.. Androids an operating system. Apple is a wide variety of electronics and software unfortunately..
I wish Apple and Android just battle it out old west style. Biggest gun (features) wins. Bringing the law into it seems tasteless. Just let the better device speak for itself.

"Apple, intellectual property thieves hiding behind intellectual property laws" They patent open source software then claim they "invented" it, and then sue anyone else who uses it. If they were really so innovative they wouldn't need to sue every company that one ups them, they'd just invent something better.

Sounds like BB10 is going to get Jelly Bean while the majority of Android devices won't! LMAO!

I would actually get the BB10 looks cool.
That is funny. It won't be as funny when they get updated first.

LOL, I thought the same thing
Funny but just sad. LG seems to be following the path that everyone expected with the lgog. Can't produce updates in a timely manner at all. I know that they are releasing worldwide jb but I dont care about that. Lol. We will probably get jb when key lime pie is out. Ugh.

If they already released JB in Korea, the it's more than likely the update is in our illustrious domestic carriers possession awaiting their approval.

Looks cool the only thing I can say is does anybody else remember thier blackberry touch screen experience? Uh cause i do starting with the wonderful Storm ( POS) all of the Torch family (POS) and even the new BOLD , they just have so many failed attempts it is unlikely this will be much different.
BUT and that is a BIG BUT this LGOG is something I wouldnt have never expected from LG , not since the original LG 510 has there been a more stable and good working phone.

Blackberry seems to be shooting to be just good enough with this phone. Dual core processor, 1 gb RAM and a smaller screen by today's standards seem like this is the device they are testing the waters with when really they should go for broke. Realistically this could be their last hurrah.
Personally I want to see them succeed. I dont think i will ever buy another blackberry, but a third strong OS would keep all systems innovating at a very high rate instead of encouraging stagnation.

Hd2 was able to run ICS before most android devices at the time. The webos tablet and blackberry was also able to run android. Doesn't surprise me the bb10 will too. A smartphone these days no matter the stock OS can in some way run android. Even the iPhone could run android and has in the past

I certainly hope it isn't their last anything.
Look, you might think the hardware isn't all there. That isn't the big picture. Watch your mind explode. No iPhone, no Android as we know it, No widgets, no Windows 8, and to come full circle, no blackberry, no iPhone.
Android will die one day. Blackberry might die too. Analyst are already predicting the iPhone's doom. But, BB only gives us more. The ideas that blackberry comes up with will enhance the android phones. Competition brings innovation. I hope blackberry does great and brings timely updates too. Imagine if all the other os's updated like Apple. Don't think for a second blackberry didn't take note to our fragmentation. They have the same 2 phones worldwide for a reason.
And don't think for a second our brand loyalty its less fickle than it is. We will jump ship in drones. Blackberry might not be leading the pack now. But, now is very relative.
So, i agree with everyone.

The only level of encryption approved by pretty much every government worldwide for their secure communications. Blackberry will still have it's place in corporate and gov't settings for a while yet, but I don't see the mass appeal that they want and need to regain their once dominant position. They would have to do something more eye-popping than what they did.
On a somewhat different note, what are thoughts that some others have about upcoming platforms? Firefox OS, Tizen, Ubuntu, etc... I read that Samsung will be releasing Tizen phones in Q3.

Well see...I'm happy with the direction android is going in so far. if anything, since iOS doesn't seem to be encouraging innovation with that boring stagnant ui and features, I would like a good third player in the market whoever it may be to keep Google on its toes and android moving along. But blackberry? They had their chance years ago I'm over it and no people won't "flock" to another os people don't think that way
Sent from my LG-LS970 using xda app-developers app
I think more ppl would flock than you expect. If what they want is simple and their when the need it. I like android but it is confusing. People like comfort and usability.
Now, I don't think they will leave in droves. But, I don't think BlackBerry will disappear either.

I agree with that sentiment. For the average person, blackberry is a known name so they'll give it a shot. And if the OS is smooth and understandable, they won't have any trouble flocking to it. And businesses will buy in bulk.

You hit it right there that people prefer comfort thats why (since rim gave people PLENTY of time to get comfortable with android lol) I don't think they'll FLOCK but I agree there will be people willing to give it a shot and yeah it could actually catch momentum so all we can do is wait and watch haha I'm excited to see how the mobile landscape looks by the end of this year since it changes so rapidly

I believe android will remain dominant for many years to come I see bb10 as more of a threat to wp8. BlackBerry has made it easy to port over android apps meaning they could easily out shine wp quickly when it comes to apps. I also believe people will defect from android also but not in droves android will remain dominant if only for the choices you can get their is a device out their that fits everyone's needs
Here is a question? Will we need to buy the app again? I assume so. Honestly, both phones are appealing.
There was a good article today about the demise of phones. It could be a great thing. If the losers leave and the leaders cut back we might see more stellar phones from less manufacturers. Lg won't make 30 different phones a year. So, the 5 they end up making might get faster updates.
