- Ok BB10 is not quite dead yet... but the end is coming and it's probably not far off.
BB10 has been moved to a palliative care hospice. (No new SDKs / APIs / developer tools.)
There is a Do Not Resuscitate order on file. (No more significant internal development / most of the developers laid off.)
The nurses are keeping it comfortable and checking in on it now and then. (We're fully committed! Two security updates coming!)
BB10's friends and loved ones continue to see it every day and put on a brave face.10-21-16 10:24 AMLike 5 - Ok BB10 is not quite dead yet... but the end is coming and it's probably not far off.

Pretty classy.

And while the trackpad is smaller on the Classic, it'll definitely relieve the headache you're getting trying to move the cursor around with the Q10. It's partially why my Q10 is now my kitchen timer and I use the Classic full-time...

The HUB lags, the search (anywhere, HUB, Contacts, Universal Search, phone app, Calendar, Media Apps).
And I have seen this on every BB10 device I have used (Z10,Z3, Q5, Z30, Classic)
Even the speed dials are slower than BBOS.
But there is nothing I can do about it because I know BlackBerry is never going to improve upon it

It's a phone. Dead or not, what is the point of bashing a platform and the people who use it?
Posted from my Z30 via CB10Couver81 likes this.10-21-16 11:04 AMLike 1 - Again I think it all depends on your usage. There are still lots of people who use a phone with basic needs like texting and email.
This will still work just fine. Personally I'm fine with BB10 as is. It suits my needs just fine and I can use a tablet or my backup phone for any apps and things that I need.
I prefer to keep my work and personal information separate anyways.10-21-16 11:08 AMLike 0 - Yes, exactly. I see people in the CB forums daily who mock BB10 users and fans, compare BB10 phones to feature phones, and basically dance on BB10's imaginary grave.

I'll believe updates are coming when I see them. At this point, BB10 is a cost center for BlackBerry, it's never going to contribute to revenue again. I am skeptical 10.3.3 is coming at all.

Atleast the HUB had zero lag.
Even then I found BB10 extremely animation heavy which made it slow on comparison to BBOS.
I have been using a curve 9220 for the last 3 odd months and I love the speed of the phone. Everything is instantaneous
The phone app, the speed dials, the universal search, search in msgs or contacts. Everything

Not sure about the hub searches though, but the time between opening a long conversation and being able to type.
But BBOS was faster than BB10 in that both before and after the update...

The sad thing is that the people who jumped ship to Android are in a similar boat anyway since the Android BB phones have sold even worse than BB10. It's likely they'll see a drop in support down the line too. Yet here we all are fighting among ourselves.10-21-16 01:40 PMLike 0 - Actually, I noticed the opposite about the hub. I found the hub performed worse before the update, but universal search, shortcuts, speed dials and those things got slower after the update.

Speed dials were already slower on 10.2.1 even (compared to BBOS) but the funny thing is a subsequent speed dial in a short time span is very fast (as in, you make a call from speed dial right now, if you use the speed dial again within a couple of minutes, it will be really fast)
In general I have found BB10 slower in everything compared to BBOS whether it be opening apps, or making calls or ending calls, everything. Don't know how the developers never noticed this.

It suits mine better than any other and does EVERYTHING well for me, phone, txt, email, pictures, streaming videos, music, talk shows, downloading of anything and everything no apps needed, well, except some from BB World, browsing. And a darned good word program, although I must confess to having grief figuring out the spreadsheet features correctly.
And furthermore, it's relaxing, dependable, efficient at multitasking, and doesn't spy on me much.
And it's Super Hot-Looking, most especially the Silver Passport.
Have a good time with your better choice, whatever that might be.anon(6038817) and FahedAlDerbi like this.10-22-16 10:29 PMLike 2 - I wonder if a third party does license the os if we'd get a fully featured blackberry or would it be a stripped down "communications tool" like you see being sold at the grocery stores? I'm one of those rare people that uses very few apps other than the stock apps. I'd be cool with that.
Posted via CB1011-12-16 10:57 AMLike 0 - I feel like they'd want to put their own branding a bit on it so unfortunately they'd likely come with a few of their own tweaks I'd think.
