- With Priv in the market and Venice been shown off (rumoured though), is 10.3.2 will be the last update ever for us the BB OS10 users or will we get something new or are we going to be a lost cause?
Frankly, I really love my Z10 but I think I have to give up on it sooner rather than later. Although I never had any problems with my Z10, but not much apps to use neither the existing apps gets updated at a regular basis, which is now getting annoying.

Same with 10.3.X devices. 10.3.3/4 are most likely to be seen, but don't think it will be any good. I mean probably security/maintanence updates. After that I think it will be the end od story.Vistaus likes this.11-19-15 06:44 AMLike 1
- With BlackBerry using Android BlackBerry is dead, as they are now just another Droid handset. I came for OS10 I won't be staying for Android.

- OK, so BlackBerry said updates of 10.3.3 &. 4.
Now what about the BB10 carrier locked phones? Will we, or when will we see the carrier push it out? When BlackBerry announces EOL?
BB10 is Dead11-21-15 03:27 PMLike 0 - Sure BlackBerry will probably stop developing BB10, and seeing the current market share I don't blame them.
However, I'm sure there's a niche market for these kinds of devices, though specialized.
I would really love to be able to buy new BB10 devices in the future.. as a matter of fact I just bought a Z30.
As long as it is here, let's use it and enjoy. The phone won't suddenly stop working when BlackBerry pulls the plug.
Android and Apple have about two years before I need to replace this phone... they'll better come with something decent by that time. I am not impressed by Android offerings or ios9... it is all too cumbersome to me to work effectively...

On the other hand BB10 while not wildly popular is in many government and regulated businesses with long support contracts. I know of several who have completed long business process development projects based on BB10 and BES. People are still buying BB10 devices. Bringing out 10.3.3 and 10.4.0 is not anywhere near as difficult, nor as likely to reduce performance as bringing BB10 to the PlayBook would. Remember that Tablet OS did not include Cascades which was, until they got GPU support baked in, a huge performance and battery hit.

It was a promise made by Thor that he couldn't or didn't keep. That was a bad move, but he's gone. Just about everyone who worked on the PlayBook is gone. Virtually no one bought it (I had two, still have and use one). I used early BB10 on hardware similar to the PlayBook and I believe Thor was right to break that promise. As many people who have and still use their PlayBooks will tell you, for some applications it still out performs many BB10 devices.

One more thing, even being able to work on Android apps on my Z10, I pretty much never had to look beyond BlackBerry World for the apps and am satisfied with it. But if BB10 was doing well in the market don't you think the updates would have been coming fast and better atleast for the popular apps.
P.s. I'm talking about a wider clientele and not about a specific group or set of people.
Posted via CB1011-21-15 06:34 PMLike 0 - What you say about the PlayBook is true but I don't agree with you on the point that people are buying BB10 device (compared to other devices it's neglectful). Even they stopped making Z10, Q5, Q10, even Z30 production is going to stop or it has already, not quite sure. BlackBerry Classic came into the market and failed, Leap couldn't make a significant impact in the market, Passport did not get acceptance quite much. Every device they launch have higher expectation and lesser acceptance. In order to stay in the market the basic thing was to get acceptance from the user end, which BlackBerry failed to do. Introducing Priv in the market is that act of desperation or it can be said it's the last resort BlackBerry has taken to sustain their hardware business. I don't blame them, infact it's a brave move on their part to be able to bring changes as required in the market. But what makes BlackBerry devices a great joy to have is their effectiveness which needs to be sustained, and BB10 devices are those devices which gives meaning to effectiveness and efficiency related to work and their timely update is required in order to do so.

Stores in my area still carry them, and replace stock as they are sold. BlackBerry was selling 800,000 per quarter before the Priv launched. Are you suggesting that all the people buying BlackBerrys last moth are now only buying the Priv?11-21-15 08:26 PMLike 0
