That's ok ... Waiting for BBx anyways.
Btw: like the Porsche Design phone !

Well I'm glad the new VP of Developer Relations has taken RIM's corporate mantra to heart - tell everyone to wait.

My 9930 is a beautiful phone with very limited support. Can't get the apps I want. Can't get the themes I want. How long can I continue to support the platform that won't support me?

Mid 2012? Really? I don't think RIM will remain as we know it by that time.

At the alarming rate the stock is plumetting
Don't expect anything from rim, it will be bankrupt or bought by some other company :(

Ahhhh....themes...

I used to be a theme junkie for my Bold 9700. Danieloco was my fav. Honestly though I don't really mind not having themes on my 9900. Loving the look of OS 7.

All of these "waits" is making me sorry I moved to Blackberry, come on RIM shareholders, call a meeting, out the co-ceo's and bring fresh leadership please or else BBX will not save RIM.

RIM often has disappointing news for the fans. This is pretty good, sign...

Not eveyone can afford to spend more money on a BBx phone when they just got their OS7 phones in hand. I toooo feel for the theme developers who welcome a challenge and have more artistic flair to offer different exciting venues for the masses. The middle of 2012 and PB 2.0 in Q1...wow....the NFL season will be over (was looking forward to my teams theme running on my 9850). ;-) Just have to keep a smile because disapointment makes you feel worse yet again....

I'm not interested in themes. If putting out tools for themes means taking away resources for BBX superphone development, then this delay is a good move. Look at the big picture folks.

Come on, we don't need themes on our Blackberries.

We also don't need all those other apps for iPhone, Android and MS7 phones. Our Blackberries do what we need them to do and that is it.

We Blackberry users should be happy with what we've got. We have great keyboards and BBM, what else do we need?

If we want all the fancy and modern features we would just buy the other phones.

SIGH

Those icons are fugly and a real step backwards for BlackBerry.

Hurry up and wait.

As a theme dev who has no respect or love for RIM anymore this doesn't shock me, its what they do! Iv said before, tb7 should have been released the same day the 99xx hit the shops but it was obvious that it wouldn't of! I love theme building but as sales are sucky lately because of this I don't think I can continue to do it just for a hobby!

My take on this is... RIM is thoroughly over BBOS and is focusing like a laser on BBX.

DevCon was supposed to get all the developers excited to work with Rimm.......

i cant take rim seriously when they mention any release date

This makes me want to rush out to buy a BB7 phone with a 2 year contract because I know RIMM will be there to support the OS7 phones 6 months from now.

Best part with RIM is that every time they promise us something and then minwhile before releasing that super phone RIM tells us ok guys now we release these phones u just go and buy that one before we release that final super one, and its keeps going this way for last 3 years. And we all like schoold kids go and do what teacher told us.

I am done with RIM, this 9900 is my last blackberrry phone i am gonna use!

No problem to me..
I love the default OS7 Theme..;)

Maybe its just me but for now, the 9900 is perfect just the way it is. Its an amazing piece of comm device coupled with the smoothest berry os to date. Why cant we just enjoy what Rim and its users have been wanting for a very long time. I upgraded old curve to the 9900 and playbook 32 gb. Its a freeking perfect match. Everything works so incrediably smooth and seamlessly. Other then spell chk and, auto correct and texting for playbook, its a great match. I almost never had to use my 9900 as i was able to access everything thru playbook, xcept answer calls n texting.

For now and the near future xtra apps n themes are the last thing on my mind. With my 10 gb data plan l'm in berry heaven right now. Just came back from malaysia and ppl there r drooling @ playbook n 9900. Everytime i take it out i get a freekin million questions about it, its a beautiful thing. Quite a few ppl there think the ipad is way overrated, and quite suprised by their remarks. Alot of them feel that apple have grown into a fat greedy company, and these remarks come from the local universities. imho, the us consumer tech market seems no longer relevent anymore. Rim is right to focus internationally cus thats where the main interests lie.

To me security is the most important factor in a mobile device, everything else is secondary, which i also feel is where Rim's DNA lies. Just look at the state of the net now. I am probably the few but i will comtinully stand by Rim. Despite these frustrating outages and freeking crazy promises and annoying delays, i just see them as growing and painful transitional stages. All things will come in due time. If Rim can focus on security and continually safeguard its infastructures i'm content. I'm willing to sacrifice half a billion apps for security any day of the week. Wih an industrial grade qnx with its years of proven field usage i'm an xtremely content user. Than again i'm probably the xtremely few.

Peace

So is there anyway we can change Alec's title VP of relations. Then remove every phone at RIM including the Co-Ceo's phone.

No disrespect to Steve Jobs as he was the embodiment of Apple. I will always respect the man who built Apple.

if they wont release the theme builder for a while then at least release some factory themes to bide time

I could care less about BBX, QNX, themes, apps or release dates for anything. I just happy with my little Torch 9860 and everything it offers me.

I think right now they are just to busy getting things ready for Qnx.

Well I am now sure they will loose many users. I hope I am wrong though. Too many missteps from a marketing standpoint.
