I know I have those options but there's lots of Android phones out there so why would I choose a BlackBerry android over any other android phone?

At this point, either BlackBerry Android offers a closer experience to BB10 than other Android phones.

If you are bothered about security then there's that
Plus BlackBerry's apps on android make it a lot better and productive than other androids. Yes you can load most of the apps on other android phones but you will have to pay for it unless you are cool with ads and also you won't get the keyboard or the swipe up gestures or the productivity edge.

Is a BlackBerry android an hybrid between BB10 and Android? Being that I like BB10 is there a reason I should get an BlackBerry android over any other android? I just thought that BlackBerry has added some of their stuff onto the device which I can have on any other android device too. I am not really bothered over the security aspect so what would be the reason I would get a BlackBerry android over any other android phone? Besides security and keyboard.
Since I have almost zero knowledge on Android phones I still want to know why I wouldn't get one of the top android phones like a Samsung galaxy.

What's the opposite of "the Android version will stop working"?

"The iOS version will stop working"?? :P

If you're not as concerned with the security part, you might as well go for any Android device you want and then get the subscription for the BlackBerry apps.


OS hardening and the dtek software, along with a few UI enhancements (productivity tab, swipe up gestures, and BlackBerry keyboard), is what differentiates Blackberry Android from other Android devices.

What about all the constant ads and Google Apps updates? That crap is there every time I look at my wife's LG3 Android.

Not sure what this has to do with comparing BlackBerry Android to other Androids.

Since you bring it up, constant updates is a sign of a vibrant ecosystem. Turn them off if you don't like it.

You can also use Firefox with AdBlock if you like to surf without ads.

I don't use WTFA, but figure I'll be moving from my Z10 eventually. Any Droid will do unless there's a compelling reason (IMO) to buy a BlackBerry Android.

I'm talking about the damn ads and notifications on her "Home" screen.

Please make a poll to ensure that BlackBerry will help out all of us from using watsapp after December '16

Else we have to reluctantly switch it.

This is not a BlackBerry issue. There is nothing they can do about it.

Everybody complaining about how Whatsapp won't work yet nobody complaining how they are stealing your data with Facebook. Just end the relationship already...

I wish MSN Messenger was still around. It was basic, allowed video chat, and was attached to your email account. Best of all...it was absolutely free !

Skype is essentially the "successor" to MSN Messenger, it should still be compatible with your old account/contacts.

[BB10Millwright]

Don't like the idea of anything Skype.

[Tstark14]

Nobody seems to really use Skype anymore except for desktop.

Why? Because it has a hardened and more secure Android OS, and you're supporting Blackberry
