(yes I know BBRy PR peeps monitor our usage** on this forum)

My first stop on my way home was to pick up a new Z10 at the Rogers store; having had the hardware and been using it as my daily device for almost a year, its hard to let go. Its still an excellent device. yeah I've used a Q10 but strangely the virtual keyboard has grown on me (my previous device being a 9790).

The reasons for my dismissal are officially "your position has been determined .. 'redundant'", and yet I can think nothing bad about my former employer. The cost reductions, headcount reduction put in place etc. are what is driving the shareholder improvements that you all have been seeing. All of my colleagues still there are working incredibly hard to put out the latest software and coolest devices to you guys.

While I could give some juicy details, I won't. Suffice to say there's some exciting stuff coming down the pipes to you guys.
Griping about your carrier not having some update? This is entirely your carrier. Some take our updates as "well, if they've tested, we're good with that" and others need to put the updates through the normal gauntlet; literally some guy on a street corner going "can you hear me now?" >> all directed at ensuring that your experience with <device> is good. So be patient.

There's some really awesome stuff coming your way. Think of Thorsten's comments around BB10 being "a mobile computing platform". just be patient.

** I would have reviewed our corporate Social Media Policy (covering things such as posting to crackberry,com) but sadly that went by the way-side when you took my VPN token and walked me out. Feel free to DM me OD.
