It is a shame there isnt a BlackBerry section here on the forums. There should be one for BlackBerry 10
If you do not know what BlackBerry 10 is, I wrote an article about it. It is my first article to write ever, and it is aimed at explaning what BlackBerry 10 is. So what do you think about the device? Also is there anything I have to do to improve myself?

I just got my Nexus 4 in the mail last night. After retiring my 9800, I've been playing with it all day and it just makes me more excited for Blackberry 10. The Blackberry Hub is the greatest thing I think I've ever seen. This phone will go to my girlfriend the day BB10 is released.
I enjoyed your article, but I feel your writing style is a bit stiff and formal. I'm not sure if that's the feeling you're going for, it feels like an essay or something. Also, your subscibe section at the top right of the page says to follow you on twitter, but I can't find a twitter icon.
Hey, Thanks for the reply (: Why didnt u wait for BB10? I am really excited for it too!! The twitter follow button is below the "Subscribe" button. It says follow @shobokshy
I was trying to make my style more of like a story, I will try to improve on that more next time. Anyways thanks (:
I got my Nexus just to try Android cheaply before BB10. Once I get a BB10 device, the Nexus will go to my girlfriend. Haha, I have the "Ghoestry" Chrome extension which blocks twitter for some reason.
Hahaha no worries. Thnx anyways
I'm psyched about BlackBerry 10 actually. I'm a blogger for a fan site called BlackBerryOS.com and we'll be there at the launch in NYC on January 30th. Rumor is all attendees will get an L-Series/Z10/whatever they call it device that day.
Apps are a huge part of the eco-system and I think having the majority of the top apps at launch (excluding Skype bc Microsoft really wont give it to BlackBerry), will definitely help out a lot. The biggest thing will be carrier push though. Everyone I talk to always says how WP8 is doing "okay" but not great so they really need that third OS to help balance out and motivate towards more innovation.
We shall see in 2013.
Wow thats great if you get one on Jan 30!! I think all the big apps will be covered, like Netflix, and Instagram. The worry is just for Whatsapp and Skype. I dont really use Skype much but I really need Whatsapp to be there.
Skype is the only one that I don't expect to be there for logical reasons, MS doesn't want to help BB10 out. If it does hit and sell well, I imagine Skype will come along.
WhatsApp will be there. They were being asses before, but it'll be there :)
Agreed we need a BB forum.
Skype is one of those things, everyone has been super tight lipped about it, but it keeps showing up in weird places. Like the skype icons and code found on the Dev alpha. Blackberry leaks (@BlackberryScoop) has shown Netflix running as well, though the legitimacy of that account has been called into question. I think a lot of the apps people are worried about will be coming out though.
Or maybe I'm just too hopeful.
Ya after those leaked icons, I think maybe Skype would be available on launch. However somepeople argue that it could be just an icon used in the contact field, but why would they include it if you can not use skype.
