wow, just wow.

I guess Harmattan was perfect. As was Maemo 5. Oh well... back to the earlier discussion. Qwazix, we're running the same version, which is not the final retail version - there's quite a few iterations in-between that actually include Twitter and LinkedIn integration.

Anyway, after 3 days of battling with AT&T over which data plan I need, they finally listened and I got 4G LTE for the device. It works as I'd expect. Some odd things I've had happen - it'll flip to landscape when the phone rings and it's as vertical as you can get in my hands. Same for text messages.

Getting to mail, not going directly to the hub but directly through the notifications page has yielded some odd things. Sometimes it'll go to the right account - I have three set up - or sometimes it won't.

I could compare this to my N9 experiences whereas the mail app would just freak the **** out and not know where I wanted to go, stall and I'd swipe past where I want to go thinking that it had not registered my input. Meh, it happens.

Having Qt isn't enough it seems. Having some of the crappiest, quickest built apps and/or Android re-wrapped apps isn't what I'd call a popular way to go, but they did it. Let's hope that the popular apps come sooner than later. That's more than can be said for MeeGo/N9.

Regardless... was this launch flawless? No. It reeks of desperation. But I remember fondly how flawed the iPhone and Google Android launches were.

But like Jolla, Firefox OS and even Tizen, I wish BB10 a lot of luck. I'm tired of Android and iOS. They bore me.

Oh... and it seems that the final OS has "leaked" out if you know where to look. I'll update in a bit.
