From BGR.com:
"We have a clear shot at being the No. 3 platform in the market. Carriers want other platforms. And we're not just another open platform running on another system. We're BlackBerry."I’ve been seeing this quote around the web a lot today, and it got me thinking… does RIM really have a shot at #3?
My opinion is NO. Carriers may want other platforms, but at this point do any of the smartphone users?
And, yes, having the BlackBerry brand does carry some weight, but so does the Microsoft brand… and at this point, I think Microsoft has a way better chance with their Windows 8 phones than BlackBerry does with BB10.
After trying out BB10 on my Dev Alpha device, I don’t see anything extremely compelling about the OS, other than the fact that it’s NOT BB7.
