As a current BlackBerry user, I'm still not sold.

Yeah, I feel like I got burned by the Z10, but I guess my expectations were too high.

Have faith in Chen. He knows what he's doing

I like it. If it could run at least Window Phone apps natively, that'd be enough to get me to try it out. Not sure how their app store is, but definitely not dropping below the app availability currently present on WPs.

Amazon appstore will be preloaded on the phone.

Just wait and see what it actually does.

I don't know why but I actually like the look of The Passport. Just don't know if I'll ever go back to BlackBerry.

Look at the actual screen. Easier for reading documents.

Chen is righting the ship.

So, is the Q10 dead? Are we looking at a complete overhaul?

Q will become classic. I like having a hangup button for calls. Trackpad makes copying and pasting much easier.

With Chen you won't see a half baked OS. In fact, he won't release a phone until he is ready. I suspect that's why no heavy marketing. He won't do that until his phones are ready. The BB10s weren't ready until 10.2.1 rolled out

Word. I'm hoping for the best. I would LOVE to have a phone with a keyboard. It blows my mind that all phones are all touchscreen.

Pretty sure almost no one cares. The review on the Verge today didn't make me want to run out and get one.
