I bet all the BB10 haters feel silly now. All of this is happening before it even releases. If just the leaks and demos are getting people excited, you can only imagine how the official release will get people going.

now its not about saying "i told you so" but i will say that their are a bunch of people here that doubted alot of things predicted about RIM in earlier articles that, like you said berzerk bro, are making them look AND feel silly now.....

"They will do better than expected"

Was one thing said about them............Such a humble prediction wasnt it? :)

Haha no kidding man! I'm a current user of a Galaxy note II and even I will be buying one because of all the features it offers, none the less smooth UI and fast Web browser.

Seems me and a few others on here werent the only ones liking what we saw recently...lol. Ppl forgot......before everyone called all smartphones an iPhone....they called them all Blackberries....

My daughter wanted a Blackberry first, then iPhone before she started liking Android. She was 11 or 12 at the time...

Still a big Android fan.....but its always good to have other choices you may want if you ever decided to switch. It was WP.....now its WP and Blackberry. Sorry iPhone...I tried ya. You ok....just not my cup of tea. You got real nice looking apps tho.
