BlackBerry 10 is viewed as a solid phone that should represent a solid evolution for fans of the unique features of BlackBerry (security, the keyboard, etc.), so I see no reason to expect this phone to actually flop as some have suggested. Further, the initial reviews of the phone seem to be mostly good, although certainly not the overwhelmingly positive reaction that a phone such as Samsung's Galaxy line or Nokia's ( NOK) Lumia line frequently get at the review houses. In the meantime, BlackBerry is doing all of the right things to make sure that developers have a fairly seamless experience in porting over their applications.ĭevelopers like to actually make money with their products, so it would be foolish to completely neglect a phone ecosystem that has 79 million users lined up and ready to switch to BlackBerry 10 when it comes upgrade time. BlackBerry's advantages, especially for the target audience (professionals/corporate), should allow it to gain traction despite the slightly anemic initial selection of applications. This is certainly true, but I don't believe that this will be a long-term impediment. A big concern that I see from BlackBerry (BBRY) bears is that the application ecosystem will not be as developed in the beginning as, say Apple's ( AAPL) iOS or Google's ( GOOG) Android.
