    And yet if he came out tomorrow and said here is the BB10 Priv you'd probably do a 180.

    BB10 is an amazing OS. Very functional, practical, etc.

    It came out at least 3, maybe more years late. By the time it came out it had virtually no chance to compete with developed ecosystems for the modern smartphone market. They should have gone with Android or delivered their own OS in 2008 -2010.

    Apple CEO Tim Cook resisting US Government attempts to get around encryption. BlackBerry CEO John Chen will help anyone with a "lawful request".

    I never thought I'd ever ever ever use an iPhone. And I need to research who or what (Sony? Google? Both?) could compromise security if I got a Sony Z5.

    After reading article after article about how Tim Cook is giving all law enforcement the middle finger I've got a new respect for the company.

    OP, You'd enjoy these articles that make Chen seem like a horses ***.

    http://www.extremetech.com/mobile/21...ata-protection

    http://m.huffpost.com/ca/entry/8845412

    If you want one other guy who's as bad as Chen, look at AT&T 's kiss *** CEO. You know. The guy who merged his company with the NSA.

    http://www.techtimes.com/articles/12...-out-of-it.htm

    Seeing him say Apple is wrong for not letting the government in makes me glad I'm leaving BlackBerry for another OS. And I'll never use AT&T. I'm done supporting companies that make no effort to do the right thing.

    Chen is in a fantasy world thinking the government goes after "bad guys" or that the government is the "good guy".

    Chen is the bad guy. And he is the harbinger of death for BlackBerry. BlackBerry is the least private company between Apple, Google or BlackBerry. Yeah. Google has a better encryption policy against the government than BlackBerry.

    It's time to get off this ship. Not because it's sinking. Because it's offensive. It's dirty. And it's a rotting smelling corpse.

    I think BlackBerry should rename the company to "AndroidBerry" cause I'm pretty sure the originators never intended to build a company to ride on another company's OS. Sure the founders did some BS but heck, don't come in here changing the traditional ways of things by selling out to Android. Sure go ahead and produce a few for them suckaz over at Google but don't go and drop a far more superior OS for them. Whatever happened to those slogans of about not needing apps, etc? Smh.

    DOA is used on CB not as a way of saying that BB10 is a bad OS, but that it had no chance of succeeding in the market. Companies have to make money and most things that don't do that are considered failures. As shown by Microsoft, money (on both advertising and developers) couldn't make their own OS win. It was DOA due to it being too late, not by being bad (although the release version was pretty buggy).

    BB was a technical and technological achievement, but a sales and financial disaster.

    They had their own OS and ecosystem. The problem with Blackberry is they decided to copy everyone else. They had a path and a position in the industry and if they had stayed in their own lane they could have continued to capitalize on it. They stopped on the highway and when everyone else passed them they tried to merge in. Let iOS and Google have their apps. Blackberry had its own productivity software that worked well. they halfassed everything and tried to join the app bandwagon rather than developing anything for themselves. Tons of money was poured down the drain trying to copycat and they are still doing it today.

    Chen isn't to blame for the downfall but he is the one putting the nail in the coffin rather than attempting CPR. BB10 could have been an evolution of BBOS but instead it was misused as an attempt to create an app platform like android.

    Here in Denmark the Priv cost a minimus of 840$. How do you think that will be going. DOA yeah maybe but in the first quarters BlackBerry had more developers signed up for BB10 than BBos ever hadi I also think Heins has some of the blame stating it would sell millions over saggerating and not doing an hones effort to get top apps abord. BB10 is still my fav OS And I as others see Blackberry as going totally out of the HW-business so I'm not going droid anytime soon

    Well - he didn't "destroy BB10". I have it on my Z30 and it works just fine. But when I try to run Uber Partner I repeatedly get "Unable to determine your location"..

    Verizon better come out with the Priv soon, or it's an S6 for me
