I’ve taken so much time lately playing with BlackBerry 10, Fusion/BES10 and all the other features recently release by RIM/BlackBerry. I have to admit that it is a bit disheartening, and I will attempt to explain why. RIM is coming into this market, the MDM space, like it doesn’t exist. I’ve used fusion for about 5 months now. Literally, there are no new innovating features in it at all. They have just hijacked the features from Exchange and put them in pretty much the same format as BAS.
Blackberry 10 handhelds are feature rich, but they are coming off as a gimmick. For example, they claim to have launched with 70,000 applications, which is a very impressive list. However, most, if not 90% of the applications that are launched with, are Android applications that are just ported. They are Android applications
Also, there have been scattered reports this morning ( I will not totally blame BlackBerry for this yet, but if it is true, it is very sad.) that they (BlackBerry CEO) is lying about the devices selling out. This seems like more of the same lately.
BlackBerry 10 launched with two devices, the z10 and the q10. They q10 is the keyboard qwerty device, the z10 is the touch screen device. They both looked very impressive, if the device came out two years ago. However, now they look like regular players, with nothing special about them.
