IHG should improve their websites and iOS/Android apps instead of spending time and money on failed platforms (Blackberry, Symbian etc.)

RIM/Blackberry only have themselves to blame for their arrogance.

I using BB only, but have no probs booking booking via mobile browser. Still I would feel more valued by IHG if the offer also an app for my platform.

Still too harsh of a term but closer to the truth with today's market. However for those like me it does fill a void that no other has yet been able to do.

Completely different experience. I went from a 9900 to a Q10 and so far have been very satisfied. Once 10.3 is released it should again go up another level.

Agree. Love my Q10. Like the keyboard on it even better than the Bold it replaced.

I don't think it's too harsh considering it's now down to 2%. I used to be a BB guy and I loved the full keyboard but there were just too many good apps coming out on Android and iOS to stay with BB.

For the past years people are .....ing about BB going down in the next few months or next year or so. The fact is that they are still in the market! Just because stock is not what it used to be and goes down and up. Like any stocks its up and down, if it goes down a bit (lately not compared to years ago) it doesn't mean the company is dying.

The fact is that they still have a strong base and for me personally BB has everything I need. I couldn't care less about apps that can turn on my sprinkler or lights at home.

I also have the Q10 and the keyboard is awesome, I have tried the Z10/Z30 and not a big fan of it. The new Passport looks interesting!

Again, with BB10 many of the most popular droid apps do indeed run. Just watched a netflix movie on mine.

Anyways, I wanted one and was able to order it from verizon. If they die then they die but as of today mine works like a champ, allows me to do real work and I don't need a massive pocket to carry it.

Next up, the BB Classic!

For those that still really using the a BB10 you should really send an email to IHG/Ambassador services about it. Just because some people have BB and other device it would be good if both devices has the IHG app not just one.
