I guess RIM Ceo believes in name-astrology.

BB should dump BB10 or whatever and get license from HP to use WebOS or WP7 from Microsoft.
Both are the best in features for Enterprises.

Because RIM want to make a campaign of BB neXt... or the neXt big things.... but after the problem, they could not go back to number 7 after anounce 'X'. Thus the number 10 were used.

RIM were too cheap to buy the brand.... this make me wonder would they be able to survive by being cheap. Because being cheap also mean not have the best talent in this industry.

'Why r they calling it Blackberry 10?'
After putting some thght, since they can't call it BBX, 'X' roman numeral means 10, Hence 'Blackberry 10' is another notation for 'BBX'. Cheers ;)

Im not a fan of Blackberry but I dont like to see Apple and Samsung be the only two big players in the game right now, we need innovation and phones with great design. I think RIM still got a chance to come back but they must get really serious with BlackBerry X

This just prove that RIM were cheap. They would not spent money to buy a brand/image.... just like their co-CEO who always failed at buying hockey club....

"why RIM went ahead with 10 skipping 8 and 9 continues to elude mankind"

...for the same reason MS went to "Windows 7" after xp and Vista.

Nothing will change. This will still lead to their economic downfall.

It would've been great BBX
Blackberry 1O sounds bit odd.
Whatever, best of luck BB
