- OK - think of it this way...
Marshmallow was released October 5, 2015. PRIV got that update in April 2016. That is about 6 months later. I would expect the vast majority of phones that were released on Lollipop will never go past Marshmallow. That should make up the vast majority of devices in the Marshmallow bucket.
Now what about DTEK60. It was released last November 2016, I think. That was 13 months after the release of Marshmallow and just after the release of Nougat. It took BlackBerry 6 months to get the PRIV updated. They had a beta and made it known that their goal was to get the PRIV onto Nougat. None of that has happened for Nougat. The 6 months has passed and we are on an OS that is now 20 months old. In addition, we are now 2 months behind on patches and we have no communication regarding what's going on.
At the end of the day, there is a lot to be negative about regarding the DTEK60.
I like the phone, honestly. But where is the support that should be expected for a $550 flagship device?07-06-17 09:48 AMLike 3 - OK - think of it this way...

Your phone works doesn't it?
You are alive aren't you?
When the majority of devices are on Nougat, then I might be a little curious as to why we don't have it yet, but not going to stress over something that doesn't make my life any better or worse. Especially since complaining about it on CrackBerry is not going to change anything. Organize a group to send emails to BlackBerry about it, that will work better than a forum.07-06-17 01:26 PMLike 0 - I think a continued lack of security updates for the DTEKs would absolutely be unacceptable - even though BlackBerry is out of the business. 24 months of updates from launch is good with me.
I don't think we're at the place yet where we can assume the worst, and need to start pounding on the panic button. Technical or other issues could result in miscellaneous delays or even the occasional miss. I'd personally be ok with that.
Let's see what happens this month.
As for Nougat, although I see other's point of view, I don't feel I'm owed it.ptaylor10 likes this.07-06-17 01:53 PMLike 1 - OK - think of it this way...

I'm not arguing that Nougat isn't newer and generally an improvement, but it's misleading to speak.of Marshmallow as if it's obsolete. It's clear that Google sees an Android version as a 3-5 year commitment, based on the fact that 4.4 is still not EOL.

- I'm gonna sell my BlackBerry DTEK60, because there is no any update! And I'll never buy any ******* BlackBerry smartphone anymore ������������������. I hate you BlackBerry ������������������. We cannot trust you anymore! We should've bought a Samsung galaxy or iPhone! We have paid so much money to your phone and you are not gonna offer a new software update. I have already realized BlackBerry cannot be a winner forever that is why they don't care about their products.07-11-17 12:57 PMLike 3

- It's the same brand. People will punish TCL. Nobody cares about the legally defined companies. They look at the brand on the phone. Sorry.07-11-17 01:12 PMLike 5

Conite is going to come back and tell you they only receive $10-20 but cannot provide proof when I asked. I believe they receive more than his stated figure.07-11-17 01:19 PMLike 3 - The number of people that will punish TCL/BBMo is a small insignificant number. If BBMo has already decided that it's not worth keeping PRIV or DTEK customers it means they have data to support their decision. The "vocal minority" is just that, a minority.07-11-17 01:25 PMLike 0
- "Punishing" or "rewarding" a company is the last thing on my mind when making a purchase. I'm not a martyr or selfless hero.
I'll pick the product that I want most. If I like the KEYᵒⁿᵉ, I will decide whether I have faith in TCL or not, and won't allow past prejudices to cloud my judgement.07-11-17 01:28 PMLike 0 -

- LOL - on Amazon Prime deals, they have the TCL idol5s for 200 bucks with Amazon ads. Guess what OS it comes with.... Nougat 7.107-11-17 09:26 PMLike 0
- Isn't that device that's rumored to have close specs to new rumored BBMo VKB? So the new "70" will most likely have 7.1 too? Makes a lot more sense why they wouldn't put it on the 50/60 then....07-11-17 09:32 PMLike 0

- Conite, you'll probably know this. Why would the Priv still be receiving the monthly updates but not the Dteks which are newer devices? Especially as all three are on the same OS. Seems odd to me as a layman.07-12-17 06:48 AMLike 0
