QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 06:59 PM) Eeeh, yeah, that's too much. Or give a $50 credit towards the App store or something. Maybe they can alter their philosophy in trying to get back to the corporate world and they'll offer discounts when selling multiple phones. That would be great too. I'm not sure how many apps on BlackBerry World are paid apps, but I know that a lot of them are crap and don't work well with BB10. So why not give the customer an incentive to try out some of the paid apps without much risk?

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:47 PM) You have to imagine part of the reason people are afraid to get into the BB10 app market is fear of failure, just as it is with the Windows phone. Why waste money developing an app for an OS when there may be little point to it in the first place? If it tests and sells pretty well, the apps will come. At $200, I'm not sure how well it will sell. I mean, honestly, would an average user rather have this phone over an iPhone or Galaxy S3? I seriously doubt it. RIM should have sold the phone at a lesser price to boost early adoption. Even a $50 advantage over the iPhone would have put them in a much better place IMO.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:57 PM) That review is pretty good although the fact the reviewer says they try to spend no time actually TALKING on the phone makes me think initially that this review is not for me. I use my phone for work all day, I talk probably 3-5 hours a day every day. Talk, email, text is about all I do. Engadget review said that voice quality was alright.

QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:37 PM) 2012 Arod was something like 200 OPS points better than our combined 3B play last year. Jeff Keppinger's 2012 OPS was about 25 points higher than A-Rod's.

Hell no. He's not even that good anymore.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:30 PM) I dont see either of those as advantages, maybe someone else will, but to me not really. A note on the keyboard...the virtual keyboard with the z10 has gotten great reviews. http://www.theverge.com/2013/1/30/3929760/...erry-z10-review

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:23 PM) The Cnet review said basically a poorly manufactured iphone 5 with a buggy OS. No reason for any user to switch over to it. IMO the ONLY thing blackberry EVER had that was an advantage was their keyboard and the Push email function. Both are gone. It has two things no mobile OS has right now...a centralized notification inbox and an incredibly cool gesture based UI. I see nothing wrong with BB10 itself. It feels like a modern OS. It just doesn't have any substantial app support. Any mobile OS without app support these days is doomed.

QUOTE (bmags @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) I imagine while he still needs to get back up his cardio endurance. When I miss basketball for a few weeks I'm gasping for air until I throw up my lungs. Back to things people give a s*** about... But you're not Derrick Rose.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 03:14 PM) So blackberry made an iphone huh? Thats cute. They made a Droid X if you pay attention to the top and bottom bezels. Or a Sony Xperia S...

QUOTE (witesoxfan @ Jan 30, 2013 -> 09:55 AM) Blackberry 10 launched today. I'm due for a new phone and absolutely loved my Curve, so I want to do my due diligence and check this phone out. It looks really good and I've heard nothing but good things about it, so I'm extremely interested. Hardware is decent, but the app ecosystem is still lacking, maybe not even on par with Windows Phone yet. With how much money RIM was giving developers to make apps before launch, I expected better.

Nexus 4s are finally back in stock on Google Play. Nabbed a 16 GB today.

QUOTE (Quinarvy @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 11:19 PM) Biggest thing from tonight: Thibs, you don't need to try to have Deng break Wilt's record! Especially when Jimmy Butler's playing better than Deng.

I can't believe Boozer posterized Biyombo.

QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 10:13 PM) I think you owe someone an apology for thinking jimmy butler is good If I can find him on some other board, then sure .

Jimmy Butler sure is good.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 03:50 PM) TSP (True shooting percentage) of nearly 66%. Unheard of at Kevin's volume. He will finally get his MVP award this year.

QUOTE (LittleHurt05 @ Jan 28, 2013 -> 10:01 AM) Cue the "Rick Hahn is sleeping and/or dead" militia: Ken Rosenthal ‏@Ken_Rosenthal #Rays agree with free-agent 2B Kelly Johnson on one-year contract, sources tell me and @jonmorosi. He would have been the perfect insurance for Gordon. Although I doubt Johnson would have accepted a bench or platoon role.

QUOTE (RZZZA @ Jan 27, 2013 -> 12:02 PM) I just want to talk about basketball But everybody is so mean to me. The owner of the site is telling me to shut up publicly and now Steve is calling me an idiot. That's because all you do is argue about whether or not you were right about the Bulls not being horribad. And whenever the Bulls have a good game, you start pulling out the "give me an apology" s*** like nobody else thought the Bulls would be half-decent. Go pat yourself on the back for a while if you want, but stop shoving s*** in people's faces. It gets annoying and old. And this is coming from a guy who never gave two s***s about what you posted before.

QUOTE (Brian @ Jan 27, 2013 -> 12:00 PM) He should try WSI. He'd be begging to come back here in a week. No doubt. He clearly doesn't understand how a civilized message board works...

I wonder if any of the kids will get curious and sign up.

QUOTE (2nd_city_saint787 @ Jan 26, 2013 -> 09:41 PM) To Jake or anyone subscribed to PFF....I was curious as to why Brandon Myers, who was the most productive of the potential FA TEs, has a -14.6 rating...far and away the lowest rating of any TE on the list. If you ever followed any Raiders games (I followed a few since I had Carson Palmer as my fantasy QB for a few weeks), Myers got the ball thrown to him A LOT. Not sure what kind of stuff they take into account in the ratings, but perhaps he should have been more productive with the amount of targets he had.

QUOTE (Joxer_Daly @ Jan 26, 2013 -> 03:22 PM) Terribly irresponsible comment from Sale. He obviously doesn't read the Healthy Eating Thread. Watch Chris Sale eat himself out of baseball.

Jo needs just one more point for a triple double.

Well, it is a back to back. But it does suck to lose to Washington.

QUOTE (IlliniKrush @ Jan 26, 2013 -> 04:06 PM) Pick 5 people in this thread and we would have put together a better half. No kidding.
