I dont want Android and iOS,which phone would I use after the last day of this year?
- In terms of the attack surface, what sort of increase am I looking at, realistically, if I were to keep Whatsapp installed on my phone and use it? I do realise that being an Android app, I do not have a choice as to what I 'allow' it to have access to - it appears to have access to everything on the phone.
Would appreciate any advice you guys might have. Cheers!
The only thing that android apps have access to is whatever the runtime is allowed - usually the typical contacts, calendar, and information that is shared between the basic runtime and its link via a stub to the matching info in BB10.
Usually the kind of info the app needs is what it needs to do its thing. File access, for example, is needed if you share photos from the phone. Contacts so it can know who you want to communicate with. Sure, you can use the app TrumpetTiger mentioned (I've used it), to limit the excessive stuff, but the app itself is fine.
And, honestly, Whatsapp is mining that info regardless of what platform you are using. I don't care what they say, I don't trust them.
Root level android attacks are pretty much non-existent because there is no "root" in the BB10 android runtime. Because it's a runtime, or emulator, not the whole OS. Root attacks look for things that simply don't exist in the emulator (there have been several inquires posted on these forums over the years asking how to root the runtime - you can't). If an attack tries to get access through a stub, the sandbox stops it.santoshwins and ppeters914 like this.07-21-19 12:04 PMLike 2 - What kinds of attack surface are you concerned about?

Thanks for all the input guys. Truly appreciate it.
Every time I visit CB, my Q5 gets another lease of life!
Cheers!07-22-19 07:10 AMLike 0 - I'm now using BLACKBERRY Q10,and only few days ago Classic.
I want to use blackberry phone for eternal but it will be end of life.Then what I should to do.
I really hate Android.Its users are very disgusting.They are always bothering pedestrians,and passengers.
Almost all of them are foolish.I never want to be same of them.
And iPhone users are also disgusting because they have elective thought.They assume themselves as intelligence.It's damn weird.I never want to be same of them.
Kai OS is pretty good so far for me.But KaiOS doesn't support to input Japanese language. This function is absolutely necessary for me that who live in Japan and having opportunity of contact in Japanese language.
And I hate big size phones,such as Key1,2 or Priv.I want to use mid-sized phone like as Q10.
How I can do when we'll encounter EOL of BB10.

The only thing I don’t know is whether Sailfish supports Japanese. It’s possible, since it does support other writing systems such as Cyrillic. Check it out. Peace.07-23-19 10:34 AMLike 0 - I have a nice clean app for permissions in Android 4.3.

Given the volume of phones sold with KaiOS, obviously there are plenty of people who disagree with your assessment. Despite what the press would have you believe, most people do not need so many apps.
Just a passable browser, basic PIM and text works well for many users, especially those that are not chasing the latest $1000 flagships
My local carrier still stocks a basic flip phone, and it is not leftover inventory. There is still obviously demand for thisJohn Albert likes this.09-06-19 11:37 AMLike 1 - Really? The latest Nokia phones certainly say otherwise. Has a bunch of Google apps including Google Assistant. And Snake! :-)

Still think if you want a smartphone... get iOS is the simple solution that should meet most users needs. Or with Android I'd go with a Pixel phone as its easy to customize it and even degoogle it to some degree. Or as open as it is you can install something else like LineageOS.
DO NOTE GET a phone with a locked bootrom or that isn't supported by custom ROMS.... unless you do like Android as is. Pixel 3a seems popular among some of these groupsLaura Knotek likes this.09-06-19 01:39 PMLike 1 -
If you want something slightly better than a dumb phone, they certainly are a choice. Most people want more than that.Laura Knotek likes this.09-06-19 04:03 PMLike 1 -
Typed on my blackberry classic with 10.3.3-latest on freedom mobile HSPA+09-07-19 10:13 PMLike 0 - This OS sounds like you have to have some technical ability to set it up BUT... it has very good Android cross-functionality apparently and is very nice looking and functional. Much more recent Android versions than BB10.09-08-19 06:24 PMLike 0
- I'm sorry that my English is no good.Maybe I made a lot of mistakes at spelling,grammar, or word choice.
Please tell me what was wrong.
That is all I want to say;
I hate Android/iOS and these users and these contents.
So I want to avoid using these.So far my just only option is BB10,but it will be end.
What phone should I use after this?
And,I've had conviction that there are some of Android/iOS haters such as me,in the world.
I expected to be able to gain empathies of some members,but...

I don't want to be a vassal to a corporate overlord spying on my every activity on my phone.09-08-19 06:29 PMLike 0 - Give this independent-thinker a break! So he wants to do his own thing. That's great and I have some of the same feeling about BB10 that make me like standing out (apart from it just being better for tasking -- which is the main appeal).
