The team at CouponCodes4u can always be counted on for impromptu surveys. Alex Saunders pointed out their latest one highlighted in TheExaminer asking US phone owners if they are “Impressed with the rumored BlackBerry 10 devices.” THey asked 1,092 Americans if the latest BlackBerry 10 rumors were enough to convince them to switch cellphones and the results were impressive.

What mobile phone device do you own if you don’t own a Blackberry?

The respondents were then asked if they were impressed by the proposed spec and photos of the BlackBerry 10 devices, leaked online.
- The majority, 55% said that they were impressed
- a third, 31%, of respondents admitted that they were ‘unsure’ and needed to see more information about the phone
