Obviously, RIM has a lot on the line here. Once the darling of corporate IT and e-mail junkies, BlackBerry handsets have lost major market share to iPhone and Android (at least in the U.S.).by john.falcone

Well, it has been a long journey to this day. I'm Indonesian and this is interesting to see how it will be since my country often named as Blackberry country alongside India. Android has been more popular here recently and I've seen peoples switching to it every day. Will RIM regain their market again?by Ariyanto Adi Nugroho

I'm getting a BBZ10, have had a Tracfone for emergency use only for 5 years. Also have 2 pals who are switching from iPhones after I told them about Gazelle which will give you a good price for used phones. :)by Tim Br

I'm actually looking forward to this. I have never used Blackberrys before, but since I am a developer, I got to try the developer version of BB 10. I actually think the OS is great. Only thing holding it back is lack of apps. But they did a fine job making it easy for developers.by Ace Legend
