I’ve got to admit, the predictive text on the BlackBerry Dev Alpha virtual keyboard looks really cool…
The phone looks slick and modern. The predictive text looks cool but the best feature has to be the camera and its ability to go back in time. But as with any modern phone, the decision to buy will come to down to app support.

I am with you 100% on app support.
All they need is Zynga, NetFlix, WhatsApp, Temple Run, Instagram or something similar (along with those they already have) on board and they will already have a solid footing. Once they have the top popular apps, that’s it. I seriously think everyone else can be convinced to develop once those guys are there.
This phone as it is shown, with proper app support, would be HUGE for RIM provided it still does everything a BlackBerry already does well plus all the things we all wanted a BlackBerry to do all these years…
App support is key. The total number of apps in BlackBerry App World is
still woefully behind Google Play and the App Store, but, when you
factor in that most apps in App World don’t run on the BlackBerry
PlayBook the number of apps that will run on this device and upcoming
BlackBerry 10 devices is little more than a rounding error.
I think app support for BlackBerry 10 is the most important success
factor for RIM and they have to pull out all the stops to get devs to
create apps for their platform.
