Rogers BlackBerry 10 training has begun - Slides show off BBM Video, BlackBerry Safeguard and more

After having been one of the first carriers to start taking pre-orders for BlackBerry 10 devices, it seems Rogers is already moving onto the next expected page -- training employees. In the CrackBerry forums we got a small glimpse of the training material captured but a little bit of digging has turned up some even better images of what has been shown. Yes, the links listed are dead for now but no doubt they'll be going live shortly after the January 30th events. Want to see the full Powerpoint? Hit this link for more! Thanks, Kifac.

First ;) and Of course rogers will have it first. they are the original carriers for BB

birdman_38

That's great, but what about the other carriers? All sales reps should be educated on the same level to sell the new product most effectively across the globe.

BruvvaPete2

In the last little while I have been thinking the same thing... unless other carriers haven't leaked that they are also at the same level. For a true global launch most of the major carriers in the markets indicated thus far should all be at the same training levels.

Telus Mobility actually had training in place yesterday morning (Tuesday January 15th) ;)

Caniac01

What makes you say this? That's something I havn't heard. I can say that I work for a different carrier and we've already done this training.

romulusiulian

Nothing about Europe? Sad not to hear this kind of news about the european carriers (like Vodafone or Orange Spain, Italy, Germany, Romania, Greece, etc.)

<2nd>

Skeevecr

That just means that their staff are better trained and don't rush to leak confidential material, European carriers are going to be getting this stuff early on.

kojita

Given my experience with EU carriers (Belgium) I have some serious doubts that they are actually trained at all...they usually have a low expertise compared to my(limited) own. What's your impression in other eu countries (France, Germany, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Spain, Italy...)???

Dennis9590

on the t-mobile site in the netherlands on the page coming soon, the bb 10 is still not on it but phones that arive end of feb and martch are on it. i hope this does not mean that i have to wait that long and on the KPN and Vodafone also nothing...... i want my f-ing phone

vodafone and KPN are okay/good to give info to customers
T-mobile sucks big time no info no help and their insurence OMG

kojita

Thanks, do you know if one could buy a simfree phone from T-mobile to have it work in Belgium?

Dennis9590

so far i know, no you cant. if you want to buy only the phone you can look on http://www.typhone.nl/ here you can buy almost every phone there is with out a contract

Playbook007

I have ordered 4 BB10 phones. I hope I don't have to wait 1 day after the announcement......

pallox

Totally agree. You really got the feeling that they never have experienced any training at all. Blackberry is completely neglected in Europe (except UK, ask Thorsten why) :(

cjagasken

At the weekend I spoke to a Carphone Warehouse employee in the UK, and he said they were going for BB10 training on Tues (yesterday). He also said that loads of people were already asking about the BB10 devices!!

europolska00

I'm so happy to be a Rogers customer right now! Lol. Is this a sign that the phone will be available maybe the week of launch? Don't they usually train 2 weeks before a phone is up for sale? I can't take this waiting anymore! SO EXCITED!!!!

kifac

I have made the training into a power point for all to view!
Download link here!! http://www.mediafire.com/view/?516g9d68if3iw6a

and to the user above me...uhhh usually they train us 2 weeks prior a launch or maybe a week after the device depending on what it is :)

digitalman101

Thanks kifac. Notice that the presentation ends on slide 37 and the evolution bar is about 70%.

Mmm... Wondering what is not being shown ;-)

TheAmazingHarold

Screen sharing over BBM! *gargles* Was this confirmed previously? I can't wait to show my new Z10 to the iFans at work...

edyb

Yes, I saw that too. Some of the features I saw in the PowerPoint I have never quite seen mentioned before. Wow! These are just some of the surprises awaiting the launch event... Spoilers! But good ones! And if this is coming to Playbook eventually, then even more freakingly awesome!

moa999

Blackberry Remember also looks interesting....
Sort of a built in Pinterest from the description but for email as well.

Hope the slides are getting backed up somewhere. Suspect they mght get taken down.

Skeevecr

Looks like the memo app took performance enhancing drugs to be honest.

pallox

Hahaha made my day! :)

DocDRM

+10

This could be one of the biggest features for me - I love it!

jedwards73

Sounded like OneNote to me, which is a good thing.

Leviathan123

The same training materials have also been posted for Telus reps since Jan 10th.

G-bone

Good to know! Thanks to Bla1ze and everyone else!
Looks like we may have to have our BB 10 launch party at the nearest pub to the phone store (or is that mobile computing store )!
It's the beginning of a great adventure...
#BB10Believe

aragone79

the presentation looks great and convincing. I think I will share this to my IT Department and Top Level Management at my working place. Hope that IT and Management will embarace and replace BBOS 7 to BB10, hehehe

Verminator

I've heard it on good authority that if you are in the UK and want a BB10 you will need to submit to the "Banana Pantone Test" first, and pass it.

Simply put, all Brits will need to compare their current teeth color to the Pantone color called "Banana Yellow". If your teeth are within 5 shades, either way, of "Banana Yellow" you will be banned from owning a BB10.

So get those tooth brushed out and try using them more than once a month!!!

kupfernigk

You do know that's because UK dentists are more focussed on delivering healthy teeth than persuading people to have them treated with (possibly harmful) whitening chemicals or surface coatings.
It's like unnecessary orthodontic treatment, very common in the US, that can cause future skull problems. Given a choice between perfectly regular teeth and a lifetime of headaches, and healthy if slightly irregular teeth, we prefer the latter. Except in the county of Essex, which is kind of a mid-west suburb dropped into the Eastern UK.
It's a cultural thing. You have Hollywood and Fox News, we have a culture.

SuperionMaximus

Looks pretty good.

Why'd they sell Newbay again? There wasn't even a hint of anything even close to iCloud, Google Drive, or Skydrive in those 37 slides.

I guess RIM is betting people don't care about the cloud and don't want a BlackBerry cloud storage and backup solution.

Otherwise, nothing we didn't already know and what is there looks awesome! I just hope they do have a few surprises on 01/30

Playbook007

We already have a backup solution....Blackberry Protect. You also have Desktop Manager which is the real solution.....as for Cloud services.....who has your data....who guarantees it will be there, the security etc.....I personally don't believe in cloud services.

belfastdispatcher

Several people will lose their jobs over this, they are pisssseeeedd. Question is, was it worth it?

pallox

Well it's all about profitability. And if a consultant says 'sell', well, you will sell.

digitalman101

Perhaps it is a 'contolled leak'...

leafs123

I guess these slides confirm the S4 processor. Slide 9 of the uploaded PPT.

pallox

Yep and the 1800mAh battery. Pity.

metz9444

Depends how efficient BB10 is. Could be more than enough juice for this OS we just dont know yet. Here's to hoping...

Abrante

It all boils down to the efficiency of the OS. The raw number by itself means nothing.

leafs123

I have to agree. For the battery, I'm one on the wait and see camp. I have no doubt that it will be better than the battery life of my Galaxy Nexus.

Playbook007

It was stated that they have worked very hard on the QNX platform to maximize battery life to over a day of use......that's good for me as I alway plug in my phone and playbook over night.....No issues at this end.

Red_Virus

only 1800mAh :( that's sad.
when is it coming to india?

DrBit2011

Like others say, the battery depends on the OS, dont on the mAh numbers. U can have the bigger battery in the mobile world, but if the OS suck it like crazy you will need to recharged it quick.

Just in case, in Mexico arrives at March 30th
Live Long and Prosper!

Esgetn2hoT

........... ya ok so lets say the OS is super efficient, and 1800mAh is plenty big enough.... how would it be a bad thing to put in a 2100 or a 2450 in there just to make it last even longer.... i mean... i just dont understand what the limitation is... other companies are producing thinner devices with larger batteries... why is it that RIMM can't do the same... so instead of getting a day of juice with a 1800mAh you get 2 days with a 2100mAh .... or ... well you get what im saying right...

Abrante

If competition means "do exactly what others do" then what's the point? RIM doesn't have to use a battery that lasts 2 days (as you requested, well suggested). All they need to do is have a good balance of features and efficiency, overall. Get is Blackberry Balance? For the people that don't have time to "play" with their phones for 8 hours per day, BB10 will be just fine. For 90% of users 1800mAh will be plenty. For the other 10% (wow 10 popped up again) not even a car battery will help because they just expect the phone to be as powerful as a dedicated quad-core PC.

feldmen01

It's a give and take balance between weight, aesthetics, and battery. Who knows, maybe RIM will pull a fast one and introduce a hydro cell battery that charges in minutes!

Abrante

+ Uno. No company can be all things to all people. It is a simple concept.

ghundiraj

Although I've been waiting all this time for this, I expect a lot of these features to JUST NOT WORK.
Currently BBM7 is already blocked by service providers in India.
Video calls will probably face the same fate.

Raestloz

It's not RIM being nice, it's your carriers (and BlackBerry 7 OS engineers to some extent) being jackass Moby D**kwad extraordinaire. While WiFi is completely separate from carrier network (in fact, it's not tied to anybody relative to your smartphone) RIM engineers made it so WiFi functionality is at the mercy of carriers. You need carrier's permission (Service Book) to use a completely unrelated network.

q649

Anyone notice that they removed the mole on the chin of the little girl in the Time Shift camera photo?

vgorous

I don't know who to blame. The fans of RIM or RIM itself. I'm betting that there will be no new surprises on Jan.30. They will most likely repeat whats on those slides.

UniversalMind

Well, there are still important questions that need to be answered, like availability of the different BB models, how much they gonna cost, whether or not you still need a BB plan and which big name apps are available at launch or soon after.

kidkamel

Great ppt! My only concern is where is the bridge? Did they get rid of it or are they purposely holding off on describing it?

willygringo876

BlackBerry remember seems like the most interesting part of the built in functions. No more leaks crackberry. 14 days left, let's keep everything else secret from here on. Whenever you feel the need to post new never before seen information repeat these words... "the devil is a liar, get thee behind me satan" and just back away from the keyboard.

kozmo68

AHHHHHHH!! I'm at work and blocked from seeing slide show.. Dam IT security.. Can anyone download and email it to me? :)

Playbook007

Your IT Department switch to iphone? LOL

mundell_eb

The other companies can make thinner batteries with more juice because their batteries are not removable. The Z10s battery is removable and imo has more than enough juice! And I prefer removable so this is a win-win situation! BB10 FTW!

ny1979

def a good read....cant wait

Rootbrian

He he he he he!!! Can't wait to try it out in the rogers store. No, not switching to rogers, I love wind, I wanna test it out. :)

I did the same thing before I got the 9900 too. But I'll be waiting for the qwerty blackberry 10 smartphone.

Caniac01

Had the chance to do this yesterday for another carrier whom I work for and shared some specs like the S4 CPU that made me pretty happy to finally see confirmed.

MrHomz

Also exciting is the fact that 1,600 businesses have been training for BB10 as announced by Bloomberg this morning...

Go RIM!!

bbfanboi

Why didnt RIM hookup with Kobo's bookstore or Amazon's, if Amazon was up to it? Their app store has everything but ebooks. Why was ebooks overlooked?

AdamCockley

You can probably download a Kobo app from BlackBerry World when it's available. They put it on the PlayBook so I can't see them leaving it out on this.

MozThaGreat

I'm loving the BB Remember app, I'm suspecting people will use it a lot more than they expect.
i'm just extremely interested on how RIM plans on handling BB10 for Playbook. Specifically BBM, I can't imagine bridge being smooth enough for screen sharing or video calls. Hopefully they bring hub to PB but it might be slightly underpowered. Thoughts???

Playbook007

Bridge runs on bluetooth, so that should not be the slow link to say. The new BB10 phone will run 4g LTE which is the fastest to date right....so I see it working just fine.

KCAlpha

On 1 of the slides ... BBM video and sharing your screen, i saw something pretty interesting

Share your presentation with your colleague using MICROSOFT POWER POINT .... Thus this mean ms office is on BB10 :D

Andrew4life

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but I've got a BB Torch and that looks exactly like my phone. Everything from the size to the bezel to the backing.
I'm 99.99% sure.

Thats not to say a slider isn't coming, but the one in the picture surely isn't the one that is going to be running BB10

Stewartj1

If they're training people now, I'd bet product will be available for purchase very soon.

Anyone know if Future Shop has training dates?

timmy t

You are correct, Stewart. Unless they are training people to sell pre-orders, which I doubt.

megajo123

Going out on a limb and saying this phone will last the same amount of time as my bold 9900. Going out on an even flimsier limb saying this phone may last about 2-3 hours longer. Going out on the thinnest limb that can support me and saying, if rumors are true that it boots in less than 10 seconds, I wouldn't be annoyed to turn it off as I am with my bold 9900, and my playbook, and therefore it can last me anything from 3-5 hours more.
