Troy~£€€ hope everything works good with bb10....my bold 9900 need to take off battery to reinstall BIS....make me feel confused with my network carrier many times....sucking damn!

Shows you don't have a data plan at all. You'll have to keep doing so in order for it to keep getting bis, only to drop after an hour or so. Get the data plan!

All I can say is that I'm pumped pumped pumped. Launch day is going to be like a second birthday and a second Christmas.

~ "What I saw today is mind blowing"
~ "I really think you have jumped ahead of the pack"
~ "A huge leap, I'm very impressed with the device"
~ "BlackBerry is Back!"

Those are some awesome comments. I'm very impressed with the marketing push by RIM and I hope it continues to grow.
We are still unfortunately just over a month away from launch date and the excitement is steadily growing...more and more each week. Can't wait for Jan 30!

#BB10Believe x 10!

Interesting video. From the comments based on this and other videos, there must be a few good surprises waiting to be revealed on January 30.

I just knew it. There are many intelligent people living in New York, and they know a great think when the see it. Me and my friend thought that the new OS was truly unbelievable. The experience you have when you use it is so COOL. Swiping is where it's at. Not sticking you finger into a hole. That is just plain silly.

BlackBerry is definitely back !!

I hate these kind of videos.
Because of them I really can't wait any longer...

Nothing like extracting these glowing comments from the same people who ridiculed RIM just weeks ago. Well done my blacksheep friends.

Balti43 Dec 19, 2012 at 4:10 am

sounds like Pokemon music #justsaying

Rootbrian Dec 20, 2012 at 2:31 pm

Music from pokemon is cool. I think it was from Koch records, the primary record company that promoted the music for that American anime series. Alas, the japanese one is much better, though I never have watched it.

Very positive comments... It's nice to hear that.

timmy t Dec 19, 2012 at 7:22 am

No one said anything negative? Can we see some comments about it being OK but nothing special or did no one actually say anything but glowing comments?

Abrante Dec 19, 2012 at 7:42 am

No one thought any negative comments would come from a troll? Can we see what their comments are about when they are in their "favorite blog"? Or do they only say negative things on CB.com?

dbarz Dec 19, 2012 at 7:44 am

they don't need to show it in the video, apparently that's what you're here for.... lol

cxn147 Dec 19, 2012 at 8:11 am

Why am I getting goosebumps watching this? Some really awesome comments! Go BB10!

Mel25 Dec 19, 2012 at 8:50 am

I actually like seeing the negative comments I know it's weird but it let's me know what I may not like about the phone. Just like I've yet to see negative comments about the note 2. Well I've seen very few.

Rootbrian Dec 20, 2012 at 2:33 pm

Mixed constructive criticism is better than negativity and down-right bashing relentlessly for no reason at all.

I'm really curious as to what watch that dude is wearing? It looks fantastic!!
