Not dead yet: BlackBerry to hand out more Developer Alpha devices this summer

Saunder's tweet says more Dev Alpha devices will be handed out |
The fact that Saunder is even talking like it's business as usual at RIM could be a front to prop up the stock, or even a bid to get more favorable terms in a buy out. It could simply mean that yes, it is business as usual for the company as they race to get BlackBerry 10 launched before the grim reaper shuts the doors for good at RIM. One last thought. While RIM did tease some of the new features of BlackBerry 10 a couple of months ago, shouldn't they be rushing out some videos to whet the appetite of current Berry users who are dying for a reason to stick with the platform?

I'm proud of them fighting harder, but don't you think it's pointless? All hope is gone, I hope they join Android or WP and fast!

I hope RIM does well, but on the other hand I hope Windows Phone 8 does well too. One is going to die out and as bad as it is to say it, I hope it's Blackberry. Unfortunately there just isn't enough room for everything anymore :(
Maybe Blackberry can find its way in prepaid, who knows...

RIM need to take a bold step in design n forget about their "beloved" qwerty keyboard. If people are switching to Iphone/Android or WP smartphones, do they miss the physical keyboard? NO!
It's frustrating that they want to re-invent but stay stuck in their old designs. Their PR need to put a zip on their communications. Way too much unnecessary releases that comes back to bite them.

it seems like rim is very determined in making its way back to top but the problem here is that it takes them quite long for bb10 to go out in the market if ever hey would release it by september it will take about several months before it came here in our country bb has a really good messaging but lack of innovation when it comes to processing power.. how i hope they still have the manufacturing power to provide devices for people cause if not RIP RIM because people who used bb os 7 has been waiting impatiently..

Rim needs to do something to keep on going, they simply just don't have what the general market wants. You have Google, Apple, Samsung, Motorola, Nokia, even LG and Microsoft that are just making more advancements to their mobile products everyday, so much to the point where if Rim really wants to stay in the game they need to put something out that's miles ahead of the competition just to keep up. They also need developer support as well, if not that go the Nokia route and pick up on Windows phone 7, or go Google Android to where RIM can have all their different customizations and additions, but still have the advantages of Android as well.

I played with it.. and to be honest it looks a LOT like a higher res and more colorful iOS4 clone.. Didn't play with it long.. but overall it doesnt look like the game changer it needs to be .

Sorry to rain on the Blackberry parade, but does anyone really expect this OS to see the light of day?
