#2I never understood how Blackberry hardware designers can be so bad. I'm glad they realized that the keyboard is where the Blackberry shines but, a square design!? They should've stuck with something more similar to the Q10.

#4Why only a 3 line keyboard? Having to use an on-screen keyboardlet for punctuation and #'s seems to detract from the point.
If they were serious about spreadsheets, why not shrink the keyboard horizontally and make the first phone (in a long time?) with a numeric keypad.

#5In contrast to many of the others, I think the industrial design of this thing is beautiful. Of greater potential interest around here is they relatively quietly added the Amazon App Store to it.
Still, it amazes me that they don't do something fairly obvious like team up with Bloomberg on becoming the mobile Bloomberg terminals, complete with the chat and coloured keys.

Surely you know what 'fugly' means?

#7A screen with a square aspect ratio makes a lot of sense. Wait, what?

#8Please blackberry just get in to the one market where your sunk investment in physical keyboards and good industrial design is still relevant - low cost chromebook killers. Or even just similiarly priced, but able to run ubuntu linux arm and bb10.

Is anyone in business using Chromebooks? If not, it isn't going to be in Blackberry's sights.

So like Palm Foleo (except with an 3G/LTE radio)? Yeah, that's a huge market.
