General BlackBerry® 10 Smartphone Functions and Features

[lesedwards]

After buying my new Z10 I searched hi n lo looking for BlackBerry Balance and after a few calls I find out I need Blackberry Enterprise Service running along with Microsoft Exchange Service I also have to activate BES with Rogers my provider. All this would cost me around $50.00 a month which is not worth it. When I watched the launch Balance really impressed me and thought it would be an excellent feature for my small business and not once did I get the impression I needed all this stuff. Blackberry needs to figure out a way to provide Balance to the small business if it means building an app for us.

+1

Not sure what +1 means but I think you are saying you would be interested in the same.

[jtegen]

Yes, very much so.

  Je me trouve devant le même problème que vous! Avec une mise à jour, ou un application effectivement, je pense qu'il serait possible de pouvoir séparer la partie personnelle et travail. Ce serait un gros plus pour les salariés en tout genre, les auto-entrepreneur (+ 800.000 en France par exemple...) J'espère que ca verra le jour très vite...

[lesedwards]

Is there anyway you could repeat that in English? My french is not good.

[Flo350]

And my English is so bad! ^^

I said : I'm in the same situation. With an OS update or an appli, i think it would be possible to separate the personal and work part. It would be a big plus for employees of all kinds, the auto-entrepreneur = enterprise of only one person (800,000 + in France for example ...)... I hope it will come soon ...

(thanks g**gle trad ^^)

For me, Balance  was a big plus, before I realizes that the use was limited to large companies. Buying Z10 was made for this in part. And when I see the appstore, I'm getting scared too ... I hope BB will continue to move quickly!

[lesedwards]

I'm with you. We all are waiting for updates that we needed yesterday. Even a couple fixes at a time would make us feel better and them look much better then the talk on the street

  With the Z10, I feel good when I walk in the street, although here too the BB has lost some of its users ... But with the Z10 and Q10 I sincerely believe that BB will redo a youth. But I want to open a similar balance for all users would be a good way to reach a wide range of persons!

This only to affirm my complete support with lesedwards. Happy enough with my BB9900 with intention to purchase a because of Balance, I am disappointed to see that BB Balance is not available to standalone users. I wish BB does more for Small Businesses.
My thanks to lesedwards for bringing this point to the open.
