So . . . Are we done now complaining lol? I can sympathize as I didn't even get an OS upgrade with my K1. But I also recognized the risk of this venture.
The Titan may be cheaper, but someone posted in another thread that it has been successfully rooted . . .03-09-20 07:22 AMLike 0 -

Yes, it should. However, missing just 5 months is not that egregious.
That being said, I doubt that I will ever spend anything close to retail for a TCL phone -- and if I bought one at all it would be because it had nice hardware and there was a LineageOS or some other ROM that I could flash onto it.03-09-20 05:37 PMLike 0 -

They stopped BBMo, so I don't see what products we would actually buy from TCL lolYes, it should. However, missing just 5 months is not that egregious.

For the umpteenth time, this is absolutely false. No K1 variant received 24 months of patching, and the Verizon and Sprint variants didn't even get the letter upgrade. Now you're going to cry that Verizon and Sprint somehow blocked TCL from doing that, without evidence and as if it makes a difference anyway,03-11-20 01:49 PMLike 0 -

No one knew anything for certain, probably not even BlackBerry Mobile executives, who were still hoping to be successful. But the warning signs were there, and plenty of people here were talking about the lack of KEY3 rumors or announcements, the laying off of staff, etc.
Stop acting like a victim, and accept the fact that you were overly optimistic and bought the wrong phone. If you want the best guarantee of support, buy a phone that tens of millions of other people are buying.
BlackBerry Mobile abandoned the market and it's customers, which was a foreseeable possibility.
Z10 = BB10 + VKB > iOS + AndroidSo it is the responsibility of every John Customer to come to CrackBerry, read from 20 or 30 regulars about who's been laid off and spotty rumors of imminent demise, before buying a phone marketed as the most secure Android available? Who knew buying a BlackBerry was so much work?Again, folks here were warning people over a year ago, when TCL let go most of the former BB employees, that things weren't looking good. Some people chose to dismiss those warnings because they didn't want to hear them. Well, the warnings came true. No one here had any input on those decisions by TCL - TCL simply decided that they weren't going to keep losing money, and started the process of shutting down BBMo, which took a year to become "official" with an actual announcement, though there was plenty of evidence, most notably the lack of a K3 release.
If John Customer had come here in December of 2018 he would have heard from one of our full-time ambassadors that TCL was in it for the long haul. Does that person no longer have credibility?Mecca EL likes this.03-11-20 01:53 PMLike 1 -

For the umpteenth time, "best in class monthly updates over a 24 month period" does not imply that each and every patch will be immediately received by each and all variants. This is obvious.For the umpteenth time, this is absolutely false. No K1 variant received 24 months of patching, and the Verizon and Sprint variants didn't even get the letter upgrade. Now you're going to cry that Verizon and Sprint somehow blocked TCL from doing that, without evidence and as if it makes a difference anyway,
And yes, "timing and availability of this update will depend on carrier policy and schedule" is a real thing.03-11-20 01:54 PMLike 0 -

They did not say "best in class monthly updates over a 24 month period". They said "monthly updates". They stopped using the word "monthly" after they were sued.For the umpteenth time, "best in class monthly updates over a 24 month period" does not imply that each and every patch will be immediately received by each and all variants.

If they could not deliver the letter upgrade, they shouldn't have promised it.03-11-20 01:57 PMLike 0 -

They did deliver the letter upgrade, according to their written commitment - which included the caveat that they can't force an update on a carrier against their will.03-11-20 01:58 PMLike 0 -

Your interpretation is non-sensical. Again, why include "best in class" if it was such an absolute? You're the only person I've ever heard from that thought this way.03-11-20 02:00 PMLike 0 -

So John Customer should have taken the Ambassador's message "No worries, they are in it for the Long Haul" to mean "they will stop updating their phones within a few months and announce the end of the partnership in about a year, but at least they'll honor the warranty for two more years after that"? Is that what the honorable Ambassador meant when he wrote it?03-11-20 02:00 PMLike 0 -

They absolutely were best in class - as one can define class how one wants. I'd define it as non-Google, non-Android One Android phone. Using this definition, no OEM outclassed them.
They get the monthly updates in a regularity and consistency not surpassed by any other OEM is its class.03-11-20 02:05 PMLike 0 -

If consumers had just read the warranty and agreements they signed they would have had all the information they needed. "Always read the fine print." is good advice. Advertising is not a contract, and false advertising has to be intentionally deceptive in a material way to be a violation of consumer protection laws.So it is the responsibility of every John Customer to come to CrackBerry, read from 20 or 30 regulars about who's been laid off and spotty rumors of imminent demise, before buying a phone marketed as the most secure Android available?

It's fine to be mad at BlackBerry Mobile for failing to deliver on the promise of the BlackBerry brand, but they did nothing that businesses aren't legally allowed to do and that companies don't do every day.
Red Bull's slogan is, "Red Bull gives you wings," but no one could sue them for not actually receiving literal wings. For years the U.S. Army's recruiting slogan was, "Be all you can be," but they were not legally responsible for every soldier fulfilling their human potential. Then, when it was "An Army of One" no one successfully sued because, in fact, they were made to work with a team.
I have empathy for people who bought the wrong phone, but no one twisted their arm and made them buy it.

LOL, you've become a parody of yourself. "One can define class how one wants." So glad you're here to define it for us.They absolutely were best in class - as one can define class how one wants.
