If you want to understand the major challenges that BlackBerry faces in the American market, look no further than a new survey commissioned by MKM Partners showing that most Americans don’t even know that BlackBerry 10 has launched yet.
Even if more Americans knew, I doubt they’d care very much.
68 percent of those polled said they have absolutely no interest in buying a BlackBerry.
This launch is the very definition of a day late and a dollar short.
Funny this, a colleague was telling me just yesterday that he ordered one but was waiting for it come in stock. He bought the torch too, so there is really no accounting for taste.
Alicia is about to lose her attaché job (or whatever it was). 😀
Went in to my local AT&T Store today to play around with the Z10 for a little while. The keyboard on that thing is actually pretty cool. The OS is solid and if the only thing you really want to do is email, sms, calls and a little web browsing….you could do a lot worse than a Z10. Solid device, decent (albeit limited with app selection) OS.
Way smoother experience than the Note 2 I also looked at while I was there.
And, Jim… DON’T CARE… Blackberry here is OLD, BORING NEWS
Sorry…
Wow, I don’t believe I have ever read the readers responses/posts on BGR before. That is one amazingly unintelligent crowd. I stopped reading after too many “uh uh stupid head” remarks. Okay maybe that would have been too nice for that crowd. Wow.
Most Americans (at least those living in the USA) unaware of poutine.
Except that a lot of people want to do more than email, sms, calls, and a little web browsing.
And the BlackBerry Z10 can do more than that. I have a Galaxy Note 2. I have an iPhone 5. At no point in my time using the Z10 have I come across any reason to pick either of those devices up to complete a ‘task’. It’s quite a capable device.
