Well atleast they are releasing it here on time. Most of the time we get phones late, if at all we get them.
 
I have heard that it has a stunning OS. Pretty much worth it, but the price is a thing, not only this but many phones feel a bit over priced/
 
30K Would be a sweet price, considering how BB Shares are falling.
Overpriced if you ask me. But lets see how it fares after it launches.
 
If it is 39k at launch price will come down soon.
Reason: 5" quad core flagship androids will come soon in Indian market.
BB os is very nice in my opinion.

Stunning is an understatement. The new BB OS is based on QNX - this is nothing short of revolutionary. It will change the way people use mobiles and computing tasks.

BB should have the sense not to over-price their line-up (if they wish to make any paradigm shift in users).... or else this will be a wasted moment in their history.

Check these for QNX on BB10

I dont think the price of the Sony Z or a similar android smartphone will have any bearing on BB10. It has an entirely different consumer base.

With regards to the price, 39 k is a bit too expensive for current BB buyers who bought previous flagship phones for approx half the price.
 
This is a start of new platform in many aspects, which means more work for developers but if they don't see any profits they wont waste their time on this os !!

bb users will finally will be able to play good games in future :p
