Reply EricAdams 56 min agoLets correct the record, BB10 and Z10 in fact launched a week ago in Hong Kong on 28 March 2013, it is on official Blackberry Facebook.
Besides, it is not well received, people keep posting on Facebook saying that the HK people (where BB over 90% are for business use) need Q10 only and complaint about bad battery life and reboot...etc (but the Blackberry admin keep deleting those "factual" comment on the official Facebook)
Let's correct EricAdams. People posting discontent on a social media don't necessarily represent the whole accurately, and often skew that representation to one extreme. "Factual" and what appears on Facebook have very little in common.
Take the type of person who wants to post on Facebook, mix it with the kind of person who would only post when unhappy, drizzle a little hate mongering over the top, slice it with a little black and white absolutism, bake it in a bit of exaggeration, and then super size it with some band-wagonning, and you're an idiot if you swallow it.
