- IPhones are more popular amongst the tweens and the older adults because of the simplicity. There's nothing a Samsung Note 8 cannot do that iPhone 7 can. In fact if anyone is revolutionizing phones, it's Samsung and Android. For example wireless charging is barely coming to iPhone with their next phone.09-10-17 08:44 PMLike 0
- That is a nice feature that many iOS users swear by, but android has Hangouts that operates similarly. Heck, even BlackBerry had a software that the same with the beginning of BB10 that unfortunately got scrapped09-10-17 08:48 PMLike 0
- I did what the op is going back to... a Classic and iPhone.
But after getting the KEYone to use with my iPhone, there's no way I could go back to a Classic. I sold my Classic as soon as I realized that the KEYone was superior in every way.
iOS works. It's easy to use, but there's really nothing special about it to me the way Android on the KEYone is.09-11-17 04:07 AMLike 0 - The swipe gestures are part of nova launcher.
I have assigned swipe up to open keyboard browser.
Swipe down to open hub.
And double tap to open whatsapp.
The downside of nova launcher is that u lose the keyboard shortcuts, but I never used them. I feel the swipes I have assigned far more useful and intuitive .
The animation speeds can also be adjusted in nova. If you don't want to install nova you can do it via developer options. I can't remember how to do this but I know it has been spoken about many times on this forum so I'm sure someone can help.
Overall nova works better for my needs. Some people love keyboard shortcuts so for them it's a deal breaker. But this just shows that android has something for everyone.09-11-17 05:37 AMLike 0 - 09-11-17 06:15 AMLike 1

I'm pretty sure BlackBerry or TCL folks don't give a hoot, so if it's not working for you move on but please do it quietly.09-11-17 09:48 AMLike 0 -
I can't see how carrying two old phones is more streamlined.
I think the op would feel differently with a little bit of tweaking09-11-17 10:49 AMLike 0 -
There's nothing wrong with that for people who like that sort of thing, but many users don't want to deal with it. iOS and BB10 both offer a more consistent (and less flexible) user experience. BB10 is oriented to corporate email and PIM use, and iOS is oriented towards apps and media consumption, as well as photography and messaging with other Apple users.
Android is the most flexible option, but for some, it feels like a disorganized mess out of the box. The fact that it can be customized to death isn't a benefit for people who would prefer that a real UX design and engineering team optimize it for their particular use case. That's what the some preferred about BB10.

WhatsApp is such a monster that it will kill off any remaining BB10 users when they sunset support. BlackBerry themselves couldn't do that. It's the closest thing we have to a universal messaging client.09-11-17 05:20 PMLike 0 - Yes, Android CAN be tweaked to death.

Each must decide what tools are best for the job at hand.09-11-17 10:20 PMLike 0 - I am an ex- 9900/Q10/Classic user and agree with this 100%. I was seriously contemplating the iPhone SE over the KEYone due to size. While I do really love my keyone, I do get frustrated with the size sometimes. Android OS is not as nice as BB10 and iOS, but nothing can really be done about that except continual improvements to hub and launcher, so I accept it.
Would REALLY love to see a keyone mini. Make it about 8-10 mm shorter and narrower and it would be close to perfect! I realize that a small keyboard phone is a minority within a minority, but hey, that's what these forums are for.Mrs Teapot likes this.09-11-17 10:40 PMLike 1 - Sure there are a lot of people who can't afford high end phones, but take a look at how many people use high end android devices versus IPhones. You'll find more android users. I mean IPhones aren't expensive to get, but there's a reason why majority of the people prefer android.09-11-17 11:05 PMLike 0

- I don't understand this. I don't even use iMessage on my maxed out 256gb 7+. WhatsApp is universal in terms of mobile and desktop OS accessibility.

It's astonishing to me that people don't consider the cost of paying for services with their personal data rather than with money.
