honestly the note 3 is brilliant! (if you don't mind touchwiz)

i know what you mean bro, made the jump from Android, can't go back anytime soon

I heard the keyboard is touch sensitive, no idea how is that going to work

BlackBerry just reported a small profit last financial report, with their cash inhand of 3 billion (if I remember correctly) and with their new ceo cutting down costs, I highly doubt they're a dying company, even if they are, I doubt they will die anytime soon. Honestly if you want to just dip your toe in the bb10 os but don't want to splurge too much cash, get the new z3, available in first week of July for RM699 but from what I've heard about the z30, if you can afford it, it's the BlackBerry phone to get now (unless you're a qwerty bloke). Honestly I used to be like you, doubting BlackBerry's financial state, afraid of biting the bullet, but I just took a leap of faith and got myself a Q10 and no regrets
