Good morning America! It's been a BUSY 24 hours for the CrackBerry team. This morning I'm trying to catch up on some of the reading and reactions to all of yesterday's BlackBerry 10 news.
Strolling through CrackBerry, it's clear a LOT of BlackBerry fans in the USA are ticked about having to wait a little bit longer for BlackBerry 10. It's understandable. You can buy the BlackBerry Z10 TODAY in the UK. Next week in Canada. But it will be March before carriers in the USA begin rolling it out.
There are a lot of ways to look at what this all means. Obviously waiting sucks, especially for the BlackBerry faithful. But there are some logical reasons too why in the grand scheme of things it makes more sense to launch BlackBerry 10 in a few other markets first before coming to the US. I've been debating it back and forth with Chris Umiastowski, and he's working on our in-depth editorial on that today.
In the meantime, if you're in the USA and waiting for BlackBerry 10, cast your vote on the poll above and sound off in the comments and let us know how you're coping.
And here's the thing I want you all to ponder.... the fact that so many of you are ticked off about waiting for BlackBerry 10 is actually a good thing. IT SHOWS THE WORLD THAT PEOPLE IN THE USA CARE ABOUT BLACKBERRY 10 AND WANT IT! What would be really bad is if nobody cared that you had to wait a bit longer for BB10. But that fact so many of you do... well, that just means when BlackBerry 10 does launch in the USA it's going to be a success. So vent away!

Are more people going down the SIM free route?
Asking if you folk tend to buy your BlackBerry smartphones SIM free from a retailer or on a contract with a carrier may sound like a simple question, but I suspect it will be dictated slightly by where in the world you are. Many people wouldn't consider buying the device SIM free purely because it means paying for the handset in full, up front - something that most people in this day...
CrackBerry Asks: Would you want a dual SIM BlackBerry?
Having a dual SIM phone is one of those subjects that more than likely doesn't get much thought, although many folk would probably like one. The concept is certainly not a new one and for years now dual SIM devices have been cropping up in some regions around the world, but it seems that it has never taken off with any of the top end smartphone manufactures as far as I'm aware. With...
From the forums: The BlackBerry PlayBook 10 concept and this one looks a real beauty
Currently, as far as we know, another PlayBook isn't on the cards anytime soon for BlackBerry. That doesn't stop our CrackBerry forum members from wanting a new and improved BlackBerry 10 tablet though. Andreas Kimishis1 has come up with yet another concept and I must say that it looks glorious. Since BlackBerry confirmed that the original PlayBook would not a get BlackBerry 10 update...
From the forums: Another BlackBerry Windermere concept
Judging by the amount of comments we seem to get on our concept posts it would appear that seeing what we may or may not get from BlackBerry in the future is rather popular. The above concept arrived the other day from form member ummie4 and while it looks pretty darn sweet I'm not sure we'll see a design like this go into production. The big difference here compared to other Q30/...
