RIM has lost the ball too many times. I don't think they can ever recover and become relevant again.

Except by the time this device is released, it will still be competing with devices that have been/going to be released this year at least spec-wise. No doubt I'm still super excited about black berry's comeback, hope it's really good!

What happens in case Apple's downfall is brought by RIM?

The most unlikely scenario. There's 0 chance of that ever happening.

Bring it on RIM. There's room for another platform if it brings more decent options and choices to the table.

On the plus side, Android is already seeing users mimic BB10 features. On the down side, RIM is taking their sweet time releasing this. The Mobile community could really use some good innovations and not just renovations.

No one gives a f**k to rim anymore, Literaly.

Im very sure bb will ask a lot for these devices, above $500, rim is kinda greedy but not as greedy as apple, google wont do that

Why pay more for less ? Just buy nexus 4

Yes im talking to you pikapowerize!

that nexus 4 in question is not comparable in some specs. For one, it has no LTE, no micro sd, and only 8GB internal storage, none of which the Blackberry phone is limited to. I see pricing will be in line with the competition, RIM isnt gonna be able to get away with $500 MSRP for phones like the Bold anymore, unless the specs are competitive, like they are with this model.

In talking about 16GB nexus 4 not 8gb, yes they are! Rim sells their flagship model the bold 9900 for $570 in my country!
