Maybe win is the wrong word; perhaps victory for BlackBerry right now is something more like not losing everything. Because if you've been following this story, you know that everything is what's at stake. The company is coming back into the game with force, that much is clear.

    Excellent design and display. Battery life is ok but could be alot better. It still is good considering what's out there (they all could use some improvement). Performance is second to none. Far better than my iphone 5. Not as many apps as other platforms but it has everything that I need and there are new apps coming on line regularly. Great Experience
