- I know it's hard for all of us in here to admit the reality, because we are all blinded by our love to BB10. But, the situation has become worst. The apps and the run time has all started crippling. In a few months, everything would go down the lane. BB10 has become another legacy OS. BBOS and BB10 are on the same boat. The browsing experience on BB10 hasn't improved at all, at least that's how I see with the claimed 10.3.3 updates. Both BBOS and BB10 are just good enough for the basics. Calls, Sms, texts, emails. No support from app developers and delayed updates from the parent company. The ecosystem is so dead, all the apps I see in the store dates back to the stone age,lol. Customising icons or giving a fresh look to the device is a distant reality. The glory days of BB10 are over. I have admitted the harsh reality and hence anytime soon I would also have to make the choice and migrate to another OS and it's ecosystem. Soon, most of ya all would do the same. But, let's face it, expecting more to come from the OS is something we all shouldn't be doing. Hence, this post :-)

They just need to officially state the obvious instead of giving false hope with an ambiguous "we still support BB10" mantra. Seriously this is Terri Schiavo levels of ridiculous.01-08-17 07:15 AMLike 4

- All working here, although I rarely use those chat apps, so no biggie for me.
Instagram though is one of my most used apps, I'm enjoying in good photography, and native alternative apps simple doesn't work for me in any way.
Other, I don't give a....

Having seen how TCL promotes certain of its products at CES, gives faith that they will have a strong push on mobile at the Mobile World Congress in Spain at end of February. The waiting period also providing additional time to further improve the product and plan promotion for improved impact. And as a sideline with the many discussions on security around the US elections and the start of the Trump presidency, will probably contribute to increased public concerns on the need for improved security. Hey I know there are a lot of politics (including Giuliani being close friends with both Chen and Trump) but its a new year with possible major movements -- you know positioning, positioning, patience and patience. Let's see how it looks after Mobile World CongressGreened likes this.01-08-17 07:46 AMLike 1 - My ppse does everything now that it did when I bought it?
It's like saying the new car you bought 2 years ago doesn't have the same bells and whistles as the one you buy today?

- OP is correct, I love my BlackBerry Passport but the lack of apps and app support is what killed bb10 also the lack of advertising was a disaster ( and for anyone saying they did...BS!!)
I will stick with my passport till the end but the truth will set you free.....bb10 is dead.

If our BB10 devices function in a way that works for us today, tomorrow and into the future then they work for us. If your device doesn't do what you want it to for your purposes then find a substandard OS that works for you.

The OS has a future first as a legacy OS if BlackBerry Android devices can take off to satisfy core enterprise and government markets. Then if were up to me, I'd re-release improved (under the hood) Passport and Classics. Using a cash infusion from successful BlackBerry Android device sales, I would also create two skunkworks groups with R&D for the following projects:
1. Create in-house versions of key apps with the cooperation of the underlying developers, and
2. Develop a way to synchronize a brand new BB10 device with cutting edge specs with QNX automotive systems, and have automakers include these phones with the cars they sell. BlackBerry will need to make sure its Assistant can work with the QNX systems.
The above can work if BlackBerry has the commitment. Notice I have abandoned any further association with Google. My idea takes advantage of the assets that BlackBerry has under its nose.

Essentially I am proposing that for BlackBerry's auto customers, TCL provide a multi-core (see what the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 has) BlackBerry device that can be sold through automakers with their cars as a companion device to get it in consumer drivers' hands. After all, BB10 was created from QNX, right? BlackBerry can then convince app developers to create BB10 versions for what I see is one of the final frontier for the smartphone consumer markets: the driver's car dashboard.

Without some other kind of software on top of it (Apple Carplay or Android auto for example), QNX is not so useful to end customers. It is also the software on top that takes care of the compatibility between the car and the mobile OS, not QNX itself.
It should be noted that QNX already does CarPlay and Android Auto.01-08-17 03:03 PMLike 0 - Not to worry, Ford and Toyota are working on a standard for in-car entertainment/competitor to CarPlay and Android Auto that includes QNX. Whether it lasts remains to be seen.
