When they abandoned the Playbook, they lost the fight.
I wouldn't buy Blackberry unless all the management is replaced.

http://uk.reuters.com/article/2013/08/12/uk-blackberry-committee-idUKBRE97B0CB20130812Canadian smartphone maker BlackBerry is looking at options that could include joint ventures, partnerships or a sale of the company as it struggles to survive against stiff competition
BlackBerry, which pioneered on-your-hip email with its first smartphones and email pagers, on Monday said it had set up a committee to review its options and that top shareholder Prem Watsa was stepping down from its board due to a possible conflict of interest.
Yea I've only tried it quickly but gestures and smoothness/optimization plus Android apps compatibility is what makes it stand out to me.
are you kidding?
I haven't had a BB10 device in my hand or read anything on them for that matter. In previous years I remember them dishing out some solid hardware so I assumed that hadn't changed.

Switch. To. Android.
They're already making BBM cross platform, and have spent considerable effort getting Android apps to run in BBOS. They need to face the facts and accept that they can't go it alone anymore. They're doing poorly even in Canada, where people buy Blackberries simply because they're Canadian.
I think a foray into the Android ecosystem would be the most profitable thing to happen to them since Apple released the iPhone. They make phones that focus on the two things Android is currently lacking: enterprise security and physical keyboards.
Android 4.3 supports SELinux, so they could use that as a base and make the most business friendly smartphone on the market.
And the last real Android smartphone with a physical keyboard was the DROID 4, which wasn't even that great. A Q10 running Android would fly off the shelves.
Well "only decent"? I don't see why you would want more power than that I mean it's a phone not a desktop workstation.
