You are ready for the entire BlackBerry company to go under, just so your company can provide you with a different phone? That's about as shallow as I've ever heard.

Most of my friends are the same. "Download BBM" I say,
"Why"
"Why not it's the best, multiple apps in one, why waste time going from app to app such as voxer, text, calls Whatsapp, imessenger. It's all in bbm

As long as everyone THEY want to communicate with also has BBM installed and active. Therein lies the problem. Whatsapp and Hangouts offer the same or better functionality than xBBM currently does and they have larger user bases. Texting can reach everyone. I use xBBM to communicate with BlackBerry users who are missing out on Hangouts, but I'm not seeing what currently makes xBBM better than the alternatives.

The phone locking up, that happens with all kinds of phones. At least you can pull the battery with BB, I can't on my Nexus 5. The problem is the slow release of the updates or lack of ota updates because OS10.2 can use the Android apps and there's at least a million of them by now.

You've wanted to do a battery pull on your Nexus 5? I've read that you can do the equivalent by holding in the power button for 10+ seconds, but I, nor anyone else I know of with a mid-high end android phone, has ever had to do a forced reset (though I've had a few automatic restarts over the years). I know of some BlackBerry users very accustomed to battery pulls though.

I've actually never pulled the battery out of any of my phones for tech support reasons even when I probably should have. No, the Nexus hasn't needed it, but it did act a bit strange in the days after I first used a USB OTG device; I'm hoping it's recovered (knock wood).

Battery pulls are a BBOS thing. It's not really needed on BB10. I got my Q10 the day they were released and I have only had to do 1 battery pull after my one & only BB10 crash. And even then, I don't think I had to do it. I forgot about the reset button, and went straight to battery pull out of BBOS habit.

Apparently it's a big Android thing too, though I guess with phones where it can't be done, we just hold the power button until the phone shuts down. That's all I've ever done when my phones get very strange.

I'm looking forward to getting a Z10 when I can, it has some features I'd like a lot, such as touch to wake (I think), and maybe a better music listening experience (though I'm not sure until I can play with one). My friend got one recently, so I read some reviews and I'm very intrigued and taken with the OS and its features.

Z30 speakers are great. Not so much for Z10. To wake the phone its just a swipe up from bottom bezel like PlayBook.

Battery pulls to reset the phone is such a archaic method. More likely to damage the phone...

I have a friend in Canada and I know exactly what u mean. It is also nice to have more options and variety as users. Our family has used Apple, currently BlackBerry and Android. We have Windows and Ubuntu on our laptops. Every ecosystem has its pros and cons.

That sounds great. I'm not familiar with any bb products yet. I only saw the Z10 in person very briefly recently. :-)
Oops, Tapatalk error. I actually quoted Dave Bourque on the swipe up from the bezel and the Z30 speakers.

We are one of a kind... I love my BlackBerry.
I thought the whole point of this thread was to point out biases people have against using Blackberry. You might be around very mature and unbiased people but that's not the case with the majority of people, especially off work. People have biases and there are many articles bashing Blackberry. Heck, I have even read articles where marketing people avoid carrying Blackberry because it effects their image. For me, I like BB10 and would gladly use my Blackberry anywhere with pride, no matter what morons say. In fact I like supporting under dogs, like Blackberry and Windows 8 phone and totally despise over hyped products living beyond their expiry dates, aka iPhones.
I'll be honest, I didn't read this entire thread. I'm not saying that the OP has this problem, but I have noticed a lot of this going on around the forums for some time. If you own a BlackBerry, you need to be able to stand by your decision. It has nothing to do with the device, it's the person that is using it. I love picking on non BlackBerry users because I'm a tech guy. I know just about everything about every phone that's out there. I don't hate Android. I don't hate Apple. I choose to use my Q10 because it suits my needs better than anything else. I admit, I've gotten embarrassed about it, but that's only when I'm not able to be vocal. If a discussion breaks out, I'll get everyone's respect every single time. I'll even have some people jealous about my phone.
Put your foot down. There's no need to get into an argument about which phone offers the best features. You own your phone because it works the best with your lifestyle, not because it's the cool thing to do. That right there demands respect because it says you've considered other options and found them inferior. Besides, iPhone users are easy targets
