Blackberry Simple Mode option
- http://m.theglobeandmail.com/report-...service=mobile
Please read the above article on Globe..
Note:-
Let users decide...Give them option to chose as a configuration setting.
I think there is a concern among old hard core blackberry users that gesture based interface is confusing and a lot miss trackpad...I love the new gesture based flow but I think a lot of user base above 45 dont like to learn new stuff and were perfectly happy with simplicity of old 07 style...I think A lot of them are alienated by this new OS..
It will be great if we can have a simple configuration option, by which if a user wants he can avoid lot of gestures, disable multi-tasking and make it as vanilla as possible...I think that would keep both the old and the new users happy...
Note again - I am not saying to back to OS7, I am saying give a configuration option so user can decide if wants simplicity or next generation swipe based OS.
BTW - I love new BB10 OS

Oh and even tho I might not look it, I'm over 45 and do not approve of your message! LOL

Not saying I do not see where you are coming from, this is simply my take on things. As technology changes, and we all know how fast that happens, we change with it11-30-13 09:43 PMLike 0 - Somewhere between totally different and identical is a good balance. "Totally different" hasn't been very successful. So logically, less different from what people know must be, well, less of a failure at least.
It a simple numbers game: more people like BBOS than like BB10. In material ways that means BBOS Is "better".
A BB10 device that works more like BBOS is absolutely feasible and is so optionally: yes, BB10 fans can keep things as they are and BBOS users could have a more familiar experience (both hardware and software) but could still play angry birds et al. The option to have the BBOS UX on BB10 would sell a lot more devices than BB10 has, and that's what we all want, right?
If ndroid can tolerate touch wizard or sense or motor and "pure android", BB10 can tolerate a combination of apps and hardware changes that present as BBOS.

For some the trackpad is better. OS7 is the choice of many today and will be for a couple years to come until forced to move on.11-30-13 09:50 PMLike 0

On the other hand, the learning curve isn't that great and it just takes one tech savvy person in the office to help the others figure things out.
Interestingly my mother, who is 72 and not a techy, really likes my Z10 but plans on holding onto her curve for awhile longer. She just retired and so doesn't feel the need to upgrade her phone every year anymore.

Part of me misses the UI of BBOS, or maybe I miss the time I lost between then and now because I'm getting older with each passing day I have nothing but fond memories of my previous devices despite the slightly occasional battery pull and when I see BBOS I think "Aww, I loved you." Almost something like when you look at a good past relationship and remember the good times and feelings, but then take stock of now and realize just that: that was then but *this* is now. Yep, I love my Q10.
If there were a way to get that wireframed theme on my Q I might even go for it, but to switch entirely into that or similar on the daily driver? I couldn't see it. BB10 is a far more extensive and general whip cracking experience
