My reason to be unexcited is that it is now just "another phone". The BIS (blackberry internet service) might've sucked in some ways but it meant tight security, and more importantly, roaming.

If they want to keep the big paying customers there, they're going to have to start talking about their previous "good points" and we shall see if they're still standing. Or it's more of a "Alicia Keys" public thing.

Wait, are they getting rid of BIS with BB10?

In the question round-up, someone asked how the switch to a "direct connection" will fare (in comparison with the current system under BB7, I understand).

No clear answer there. It's not like it's important for them, right?
