I just had to pass this on. I work for a local government agency. We don’t do BYOD and we’re all BlackBerry. Our RIM Enterprise account rep paid us a visit this week to demo BB10.
When he walked into the room, one of our people asked if he needed to borrow a laptop to connect to the projector. He said, “No, I’ll just connect this.” He proceeded to whip out his PlayBook, connected it to the projector and conducted the entire presentation with his Bold 9900 as the remote control.
We had some high level people in there and their jaws just dropped. They wanted to know how he did that. I took the opportunity to explain it to them, which the RIM rep enjoyed.
Then he took out his Z10 and explained a lot of the features with the Z10 also connected to the projector. At the end, he wowed them by using the Z10 to project the movie “the Avengers” onto the super large screen in our conference room. And then we all got a chance to see and handle the Z10. It was everything I expected and more. If I had problems waiting for January 30th, they’re even worse now.
What was great, is that this guy was really enthusiastic and you could tell he believed in the product. One last thing, he told us that RIM is now discouraging using the term “Mobile Fusion”. They would like it referred to as “BlackBerry Enterprise Service”.
