    You can side load it as was said or ask for the open source version. Check the Andriod side load forum on Crackberry I have the bar file from goodereader at the moment.

    So far I refuse to sideload anything, worrying about stability on my Z10 with sideloaded apps.
    I've kept my Android phone for communication, so use it on wifi when I'm home to keep in touch with people.

    Side loading is great but it does the people that are traveling and don't have access to a computer. The only things I have with me are my Z10 and iPad... So side loading can't be done.

    Sort of hoping for something from WhatsApp very soon.

    Sounds like some people haven't had issues with sideloading, but there's loads of people who have, I'll wait for a seamless experience and properly released apps, I don't want to have random reboots some people are having, if I wanted to be hacking this device all the time and not just enjoying the experience, I'd still be using my Android as my daily driver!

    Yup, messaged him, waiting on a reply.
    Trying to ignore and push aside my security concerns, but hey, not many options!

    Android port .. I have a version that works fine. Just no contacts so the other person has to initiate the first chat.. after that its fine. Mine works flawlessly although Ive heard that some other versions that are floating around are buggy.

    There are a lot of threads on this lately. Or PM me for more info

    With all these side loading thing... I wonder if the process is reversible i.e. BB apps and games can be side loaded to Android too...
