Thread: NEW: Video of upcoming BlackBerry Monaco (Storm 3) leaks!

If it doesn't have a front facing camera, RIM should get out of the business. Iphone 5, here I come!

it looks to me like this is the new Touch screen bold, not the storm 3. Besides RIM want to make the Storm 3 have QNX, not OS6.

While I think that any future RIM device should come with a front cam for video chat, I was talking with BBOS team member, twistmymind, and perhaps the BlackBerry won't see a front camera until QNX comes with devices. Looking at the PlayBook with QNX and a front camera, this would be a safe assumption. But... only a assumption at this point.

I am really sick of seeing news about the Storm3. The darn phone should have been out by now (WTH.)
Let go of it already !!!

ok so my opinion is that RIM is very ****ty when it come to their Black Berry Phones, look how the Playbook is such a kick *** compare to their phone.. So much disappointment in the video i saw nuff loggin for the so call Storm 3, come on i know they can do better but they will keep making these phone with little changes to make $$$. question for who ever read this. HOW MUCH BLACKBERRY PHONES RIM MADE, HOW MUCH OUT OF THE TOTAL ARE ACTUALLY GOOD PHONES ??

While I agree with some of your contentions, RIM has always been about their BIS and BES service along with BBM which keeps them going strong. I got thinking about it as to why there would be no front facing camera on the upcoming devices and it hit me. Perhaps this is to sway users into having to continue using BBM rather than having another option for easy video chat with friends. I really think that RIM needs to figure out a way to integrate video chat with BBM. Video chat is becoming the norm. It won't replace sms, texting, BBM, ect, but it will have it's place in future devices.

i know they can do way better look at that play book omg it seem awesome the capability the performance the power its like a magical device

After seeing TAT apps for the Playbook I'm a little bored looking at this storm 3. I'm sure the laggy OS will be fixed by release. This is nothing new and exciting. Its the same OS 6 that has been out. I was hoping the icons or layout was a little different. This is still OS 6 and lacking apps. I dont care if they call it 6.1 its nothing new. Why didn't RIM work on a QNX phone sooner? They put all there time and energy into the Playbook and put the BlackBerry phone on hold for innovation. They started working on a new project (Playbook) without fixing the problems they already have with BlackBerry owners today (outdated phones,lack of apps,laggy OS).
