Finally picked up my Z10 last night.

Still getting used to it as there is a definite learning curve coming from a Bold 9900 but overall I am liking it

Rogers is saying April 30 for its retail sales to begin. Can't wait! I've got a Bold 9780 that needs replacing.

The Mexico-based manufacturer gets paid on the order of $12-15/phone for assembly, so the profit can't be very high. I'm basing that on standard manufacturing costs for phones, about $150 for parts and $12-15 assembly. The average selling price (ASP) of the Z10 is estimated at $505-520, that's the price BlackBerry sells it to the carrier for. The difference between the production cost and ASP is money for Canada, whether that's funding R&D or profit. Sounds like a decent amount of money for Canada.

There are going to be cheaper ones after the Q10..along the line of the current "Curve". My friend is using one, but, like a good corporate citizen, he refuses to show it to me. The Q10 replaces the BOLD. They need one to replace the Curve still.

He said there will be 6 versions in all. They got an order from [deleted] for [deleted] million units....for the Curve replacement..go figure. But they're estimating sales of [deleted] million over the next year. They expect to be #2 behind Android in [deleted]. They doubt they can overtake Android, but i might be possible. months.

A analyst has released a study that the rate of returns on the Z10 is higher then sales.

Blackberry has contested this, and since the firm won't release its methodolgy its launched a complaint with the OSC and SEC to investigate.

Sounds like someone trying to make a buck short selling the stock. It dropped 7% on th news.

I call bullshit on that. Everyone I talk to that has one loves it and it's really "fast" and enjoyable to use...

I think they're more interested in buying long term and want a low buying price.

A higher rate of returns than previous BlackBerry phones should be expected. It's a totally new OS, and there are bound to be some people buying the thing that don't like the change from the original OS and will return it...

This company probably has a big short position.

You're probably right.

BlackBerry, the Canadian smartphone maker, said it will ask securities regulators to investigate a report that its new phones have high return rates, arguing that the “false” information may have been released in a deliberate attempt to manipulate its stock price.
Edit - heh, Elwood got to it first.
