Re: BB10 launches Jan 30 I'd say yes, but I'm still 2642 on the Rogers waiting list.
I'm going to stop at my local Rogers stores tomorrow to see if they've got any stock.

Did you know about the boot 'easter egg'?
Basically, when booting, touch the logo, and it will give you the % booted.
Speaking of which, how is the boot time on this device?

Mississauga, ON | I rebooted the demo model at Best Buy today and it was about a minute. WAY faster than my 9800, but still not lightning fast. |

I just did a timed test, 70 seconds from press of the button until it was fully loaded... to me that is acceptable
edit: did a second test and exactly 70 seconds again

70 seconds is WAY better than the old days. I remember my 9800 took ten minutes to boot once.

i wasn't trolling, 70 seconds seems awfully long compared to other devices.

If they've gotten it down to 70 seconds, that's impressive. My S3 isn't much less than that. |

It would appear the mapping application is shite, based on OSM, and is fairly basic. |

How long before 6.1 could be jailbroken? Was it 2 days?

Are boot times really an issue anymore? My phone's on 24/7 and I go months between reboots (usually for OS updates) of my iPhone. I would expect the same for any modern smartphone. The occasional 70 second reboot shouldn't be a concern. |

Oh, was going to ask, were the PlayBook apps compatible with you new phone? As in, are all your purchases there?

The old BB's, hell, even the newer Curves, require a battery pull every couple days. Something eats the memory and you start to get the "clock with moving arms" popping up. Reboot is a good 4 minutes.

You do know the JB was months in planning. It was released on purpose to coincide with the 6.1 update. And I consider all phones insecure including BlackBerries. |

I have to do a simulated battery pull every night on my 9800, and then sometimes I still have to take the case apart and do a real one. What a joke. |

Has to be app related - my Torch9800 (running 6.0 bundle 3049 - v6.0.0.706, Platform 6.6.0.246) never needs a reboot or battery pull. I've had it for 2 years and I think I've maybe done a battery pull or "shift-alt-del" no more than 3 or 4 times in that 2 years... one of those was due to loading a bad app that would crash on launch (an "android like" finger pattern slide unlocker), one was due to a bad bluetooth file transfer that seemed to lock everything up, and one was an unknown "hard lock" - took it out of my pocket and nothing would do anything - so I pulled the battery and all was well. Other than that - I never restart it except when an app update requests it (which is maybe once a month or so at most..). I wish everything else I had required so few reboots or restarts. |
