    if I had a full touch device, then I could definitely use other launchers, but for a keyboard phone, it would have to be a BlackBerry launcher for me.

    Two reasons:
    1. Keyboard shortcuts
    2. Swipe up widgets

    and I don't find the BlackBerry launcher to be laggy at all on the latest build.

    Nova Launcher was on sale in google play so I installed the Prime version. But after setting up all icons and other things I realised that withou keyboard shortcuts I cannot use it.

    What do you mean by "speed" of launcher when you are comparing it to BB launcher (one is faster than another)? Can you please show me some example that I can try to do on my device to see the difference?

    I would like to go with the blackberry launcher. The problem is I like the Google now page when I swipe to the right on the Nova Launcher.

    If there were some way like the nova launcher to add the Google now page to the blackberry launcher, I would be all in.

    The new productivity tabs also can handle adding widgets so i also use it for weather with a swipe.

    I use T-ui. It's my favourite launcher yet and uses the physical keyboard perfectly. On my priv and keyone.

    I tried a few but fall back to BlackBerry Launcher. I like the short cuts. I also like swiping left and right from my home to access the Hub and Calendar widgets.

    How exactly to you add widgets to the Productivity Tab? I can't see that feature in the menu. Can you add a screen shot?

    I'm using BB Launcher, but "addicted" is a strong word for a piece of software...

    Yeah. Meant "preferred". It's almost like I feel I'm not getting my efficiency and simplicity fix when I use other launchers thus, used addicted.

    Surprised at the Nova fans here yet lack of Action Launcher fans, especially since Action Launcher makes the Hub Swipe gesture drop-dead easy to set up. Action Launcher is where it's at for me.

    Can you swipe in any app to access the Hub? Never used Action Launcher before.

    No, because many apps already have their own swipe feature. eg: Twitter.

    Noted. I'd find it hard to give up the keyboard shortcuts and BlackBerry notification spark for that.

    I'm using the BB launcher on my S7 Edge, TouchWiz (Samsung stock launcher) suuucks.

    Used action launcher on my S3, because BB Launcher can't run on Android KitKat.

    I have only one gripe for BlackBerry Launcher... I wish it allowed Settings backup for all of it...
