Upcoming Android N 'Android' will be as secure as 'BB10' :- said 'Chen'
- Well the post says it all, CEO Chen has mentioned that Android is not yet secure as BB10, but with the upcoming AndroidN 'Android' will be as secure as BB10 which makes it even more clear that there would be no more BB10 Devices or updates,
Android is the future of BlackBerry that's the hard truth whether we want to accept it or not even if BlackBerry themselves keep on saying 'we are committed to bb10' just to keep the Hardcore users happy.

"Chen added that the gap will be closed through a combination of BlackBerry's super-secret project and the impending release of the next version of Google's software, Android 7.0 Nougat."07-23-16 11:29 AMLike 3 -

- If you carefully read the paper, they are admitting that Android is at the moment less secure than BlackBerry 10. What is more, they are just rolling out Android 6 for the Priv. I cannot understand their strategy

They are now stating that this will be accomplished in 6 to 8 months.app_Developer and BigAl_BB9900 like this.07-23-16 01:38 PMLike 2 -

Might be my assumptions are wrong, might me am overreacting but this all indicates of how much we can trust BlackBerry.
Posted via CB1007-23-16 01:53 PMLike 2 - Okay, seems like a strategy.. I'm now using the Priv for a few days and it's hard for me to transit but I'll give it some time.
So this all means that the current Priv and the 3 upcoming devices will be running Android Nougat in the near future?
Also, what is the ETA of nougat anyways?
Posted via BlackBerry Priv 10.3.207-23-16 01:58 PMLike 0 - Well as far as I'm concerned everything is unfolding exactly the way Blackberry has stated it would. Last October they indicated that there would be no new BB10 devices in 2016 and that bb10 would receive two security patches over the next year-and-a-half. They also indicated that bb10 customers would be migrated to secure Android once the same level of security was achieved. Blackberry never shut the door entirely on bb10 as they still had devices to sell.07-23-16 02:04 PMLike 4

Your bb10 device will continue to work as it always has. I'm not sure what the problem is.07-23-16 02:11 PMLike 3

If BlackBerry had hinted Priv running Android as their next device with more upcoming Android devices me like many wouldn't have invested hard earn money for an os which has no future. No hard feelings but yes every penny counts, I would have waitied for Priv and won't get passport, I bought z10,Q10,z30 and now Passport, if Priv gonna run android I would have waited for it and won't upgrade to passport.
Bb10 had lots of potential and still has but mixing android with bb10 is just lame. Many would be happy with their priv, I respect their opinion but telling Andoid with bb10 skin is better then bb10, no ways.
It's my opinion and don't want to get into any kind of argument, just trying to express my feelings so no hard feelings.
Posted via CB1007-23-16 02:23 PMLike 4 - Yes, but BlackBerry doesn't use vanilla Android. It takes time to do their magic. It took 4 months to get MM done. Same this time.07-23-16 02:27 PMLike 0

Now they're telling people they'll keep supporting BB10 (which they won't) so they can move the rest of the stockpile.

Priv gets monthly update, 10.3.3 where is it? Where are all the bb10 teams, what kind of commitment is this.??
Posted via CB1007-23-16 02:33 PMLike 0 - Well am sure you can never understand the problem, support device without facebook, whatsapps and more apps which have stopped supporting bb10... and yeah now you would say it's wasn't BlackBerry fault,

WhatsApp and Facebook make their own financial decisions. It sucks, but that's the way it is.Dunt Dunt Dunt and allen832008 like this.07-23-16 02:34 PMLike 2 - I understand your disappointment, but I'm fairly certain you knew BlackBerry had been in serious trouble for a while before you bought your Passport. The fact that they are still here and still supporting and updating your device now and into the near future is some consolation I hope.

Which developer would remain with an OS which is on Ventilation? Chen did an awesome job on software side no denying but hardware wise he just killed it.

And they are still here and updating devices just to clear the old stocks not to benefiting bb10.
