    There are many reason why i stick to BB devices these many years.

    I might quite boring you guys but I love this forum to express my love with BB devices.

    1) Design:

    whether it is Bold or any other BB10 devices, they are the best in design in the market. their design prove the exact meaning of Smart Phone.

    2) Qwerty Keypad/Board:

    most important reason to stick with it is its physical keyboard. i write long emails to my clients/vendors and i prefer to type fast without any typo which is not possible touch keypad/board. not only me, most of the people around the world loves the keypad/board for sure.

    3) LED indicator:

    this is the most awesome feature and classy too. its not necessary to look your phone often to check the notification when it is on silent mode. Any notification your LED red light indicates you new notifications (IM, SMS, Emails, Missed calls) arrived.

    4) BBM

    Blackberry messenger, my personal opinion is bbm is the god father of any messenger. i really don't care about whatsapp which stopping its support to BBOS and its devices. who really cares, we got an awesome messenger BBM. I am the boss of my company, BBM is available now on all other OS platform so if some one need to chat or interact with me ill ask them download BBM, else call me. soon i will provide BB devices to my employees.

    5) Email Signature:

    this might feel quite silly, i love this very much. when i send emails or reply to any emails its says

    "sent from BlackBerry on Airtel"

    i personally feel that this will differentiate me for using BB devices.

    there are many features to described but i am re collecting my nostalgia with this device i had.

    its been so many years, i started with curve 8520 and now i am using bold and q10. in between i tried iphone but it really doesnt suite me.

    BB - Blackberry
    BB - Be Bold
    BB - Business Beast

    regret typo errors / grammar errors if any

    Dteks are not designed by BlackBerry. Its china Alcatel(tlc) and you know it There is no real BlackBerry DNA in it. Priv is the last true BlackBerry. (RGB Led, crap camera, BlackBerry Logo on the front...lol, etc etc)

    I personally like what BlackBerry has done with Android. A very lean and efficient launcher, with very little bloat. HUB has come along nicely.

    I've happily been along for the ride through 3 OSes. Onwards and upwards.

    Eeeeyeah... if only Blandroid had a real Hub, a bedside mode, notification profiles, true permission controls... The Blandroid Future may be unavoidable, but that doesn't mean I gotta like it.

    I will tell you one thing, I found an absolutely fantastic app to manage notification profiles. It is called Sound Profile by corcanoe.

    Thanks. I hold out hope I never have to use it, but that's reassuring.

    Added bonus: BlackBerry 10 phones are less likely to be stolen in a grab & run street theft because thieves don't know what they are and they're not a cool phone to re-sell. Of course, this isn't why I'm stubbornly keeping my Passport.

    Don't forget the "uniqueness" of using something that nobody today knows what it is

    Go to a cafe and put your physical Keyboard Blackberry on a table and NO ONE under 19 will likely know what it is. The older people (who all speak fondly of them in my experience) always say "oh you still are using one of those".......

    As late as 2007 I was STILL using my Motorola flip 650 from 1997 and you should have seen the looks I got in public haha. It looked like something you would call in an airstrike with during World War 2!!!!! Then I got a Motorola RAZR in 1997 and it changed my world.

    Haha... they should try talking to ANYthing in a noisy industrial environment... Text is superior to talk, for some situations. No tiny few of us feel PKB is superior to glass for text. For some of us. Has been for a LONG time. How many VKB calculators are there? PKB precision is still quite popular in calculators. For good reason, imo.

    I exchanged alpha-numeric "text messages" across a facility over HP41CXs (calculators) serial cards... in early-mid 80s!! I can pretty legitimately claim to have been "texting" on handhelds since a decade before Gore invented the Internet. Lol.

    That 70's calculator is also capable of 4-20ma analog IO. Never tried voice but considered it. Pretty cool, for a calculator, imo. Lol.

    More on topic, my personal "loyalty" to BB, such that it is, has most to do with appreciation for the decades of experience that hopefully gets applied into its products. Experience that, historically, partly derived thru enterprise feedback. Some of which has been abandoned, possibly forgotten, by conscious strategy. Mistakenly so, imo.

    As such, my loyalties rest most with some brilliantly configured BB products, rather than any particular loyalty to RIM/BBRY .inc itself. I, for one, feel little compunction to extend greater loyalty to RIM/BBRY than they themselves have demonstrated toward their own LOYAL users. Like myself.

    I'm a dedicated enthusiast of PKB for the very reasons PKB is very popular on handheld calculators. Also, toolbelt and particularly trackpad. BB has historically done these things exquisitely.
