If you haven't seen the press on Blackberry in the past year,
... you haven't been looking.
Bloggers and "analysts" were universally dismissive of Blackberry's chances for over a year, until some details of the OS came out, and reporting of BB's huge global introduction effort started, and have been pretty universally positive since.
I have both Android and Playbook devices, and like both, but the BB OS is (imho) already smoother and easier to operate.
And don't fret, I don't have a bubble.
