BlackBerry 10 Delayed Until 2013
What are they doing?!
There's no explanation for this delay....and if is a parts shortage I say it is time to find a new supplier....
But no explanation for this latest delay makes me suspicious....what the hell is going on? I doubt it's a hardware issue.
It's software. It's trying to get a new OS to work within an existing ecosystem with it's separate servers, business clients, legacy platforms that still need to be supported and the occasional person that didn't realize they should have bought an iPhone 🤣
Any company just getting into this business for the first time would have an easier time at it. It was pointed out that Apple worked on IOS secretly for more than 3 years before introducing the iPhone...optimal conditions. RIM has to get this all to work within their own proprietary network.

And if I upgrade today, I'll be eligible for my next upgrade by December 2013...so I could get a Blackberry 10 by then...if they are available that is...
maybe it will be the last blackberry under RIM branding...who knows? 👀
I think that looking into licensing Blackberry Messenger is a great idea and I frankly wonder why they haven't done it sooner....
The only thing I dislike about BBM is that it only works with Blackberries....if I could use it with everyone I know who has an iPhone or Android phone...I could probably drop my texting plan....
