Greg Keane – Go to the max

After the big news from RIM and I saw Dev Alpha I was like…smh, this doesn’t look good, RIM should have launched for the spring and latest summer to cut a notch out of mobile sales, especially with the launching of so many big phones this summer and fall. Its May…lets call it mid May and they are showcasing “Dev Alpha” of Blackberry 10 and no hardware in site…I see bad things. I think its going to be…well I think the new OS is going to be AWESOME as RIM has always lead the field with secure and fairly stable platform (i say fairly secure because after the 7200 series I have had Bold 9000 crash and freeze on me)….some sort of economy of scale crap or something. But QNX should make this a thing of the pass.

The RIM hardware in my books is indestructible or at least it used to be, I have thrown and my BBs and nothing, sometimes the battery pops out, i pop it back and and I’m good to go. With there new candy bar design, a sure sign they have conceded to the consumer markets wants, I am concerned that unless they have come up with something like scratch resistant transparent aluminum (star trek reference yes I am a geek and a trekkie ) they are going to lose major points if there hardware mainly the glass performs like the iPhone glass does when dropped.

The big thing though is the keyboard, kiss the tactile goodness of a physical keyboard good bye, because at least the first expected device will not have a physical keyboard. Apparently RIM has developed some sort of new soft keyboard that knows what word you are typing when you press the FIRST LETTER (wtf…that’s gonna be a mind job). Anyway RIM is very tight lipped on the keyboard so we will have to wait and see.

I think a fall launch is way to late, I no longer have confidence in this Canadian darling and I am jumping ship, my next phone is the Galaxy S3…from what I saw at the London launch this is almost communication perfection in the palm of my hand…yeh they could have done some things differently or better but the S3 is still amazing…can’t wait.

I still have my fingers crossed for RIM to make a turn around.

I’ve already checked the following domains and they’re taken. SUPERPHONE.COM  TAKEN SUPERPHON.ES  TAKEN SUPER.PHON.ES (PHON.ES) TAKEN Could it be that RIM is still in the game and possibly poised to be a real contender in the smartphone category and in fact are creating a new category with their pending ‘SUPERPHONE’…it’s a bird, it’s a plan, [...]
