Posted by Dave79 Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

Really tired of these devcon and world con where all they do is demo all their great software which never comes to fruition. Enough!!

I could not agree more.

Well too bad...

Devcon isn't for you its for us developers. And the demo's are to show what is possible with what they are introducing.

Man I could only dream to go to this event. And I live in Orlando. But the prices are WAY out of my league.

is that our new CB editor Simon Sage in the crowd?

 
 
Posted by flackery Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

Simon is easy to pick out when his head pokes out a foot higher than anyone else.

 
 
Posted by Farokh Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

LOL, it's definitely him. I didn't pay much attention to the individual people in the crowd, but once I read your comment it was too easy to spot Simon :)

Looks like a great place to meet women.

LOL, I was just thinking; it looks like a great place to meet guys! Too bad I'm not a developer!

Been going for 5 years now, the best show by far!

would love to go as i live in south florida, but being as I am a broke college student I will have to sit this one out :( do they offer student discounts?

They need to stop referring to the "BlackBerry solution" -- this was a tagline for the Enterprise days, not RIM's new consumer focus IMHO.

Similarly, the highlights of this meeting includes "discovering ways to utilize infrastructure investments" and "increase productivity." Not a single consumer-oriented item on the list?

Come on RIM, let's get this ship turned in the right direction...

I will be amazed and astounded if any fan night events happen outside North America. RIM needs to spread these events around the world to generate more recognition and show things to developers around the world. The recent event is Europe was so big simply due to RIM hardly ever having an event outside the US.

 
 
Posted by world traveler and former ceo Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

+1000 agree .. there should be RIM events in other prime locations also!..

 
 
Posted by The_Adventist Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

WOW $1400.00!!!! for the full pass!!

I hope the "free gift upon check in" is a PlayBook (I didn't read the whole info on it to find out).

 
 
Posted by Bla1ze Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

It is.

 
 
Posted by SPACE-AGE-INC Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

Why so expensive?

I'm deaf since birth, and use my Blackberry heavily in my tech support job. I'd like to know from anyone if they have seen American Sign Language interpreters in BlackBerry events. I seriously would consider going if interpreters would be provided.

I went last year and had a great time and met a lot of the RIM execs. I am going again this year as well. I stayed offsite last year at another hotel. Hopefully this year I am at the World Center. Funny thing about last year the day we got the free PlayBooks, I think there was a bomb threat. We were on lock down, lol. The joke was someone from Apple called it in.

I think it will be an exciting event for exhibiting the Enterprise Capabilities that will be coming.

As for the announcement everyone is hoping for:

It's too early to announce any phones if BB10 is slated for Sept. As much as I disagree with some of Apple's policies, they certainly do a good job about keeping things under wraps, announcing it, then releasing it shortly thereafter before people start picking the product apart. RIM needs to do more of the same this time.

 
 
Posted by BerryGuy25 Wednesday, Feb 15, 2012 98 days ago

RIM is currently NOT in a position to play the game like Apple and be all "tight-lipped" about whats coming down the pipeline.

BB 10 and their next device are like the last line of defense to keeping the BB Kingdom from burning to the ground. They need to beat people over the head with it until they bleed at this upcoming event.

 
 
Posted by ibeengineer Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

lol maybe they'll announce an email client for playbook.

 
 
Posted by atlkid891 Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

Yeah I'd love to go to this event but $1400?No way....I'll just follow Crackberry for all the latest come May.

 
 
Posted by Rootbrian Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

Wish the price was lower and it was in toronto.
Me is damn poor, can't afford it, way out of my league. I'll keep the eye on crackberry.

 
 
Posted by Unclebelvis Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

I'll definitely be there. This will be my 5th conference. It's a great time every year!

 
 
Posted by manofice Thursday, Feb 16, 2012 97 days ago

lol @ people complaining about this price, It's significantly cheaper than last year. This is targeted at certain people not just blackberry fans. This is high because IT Administrators get a lot out of these events. You are in sessions all day learning. I can't wait to go again this year
