- When people say bb10 is dead does it mean that u cant run any bb10 apps anymore? cuz i rlly want a bb passport cuz it looks nice and i love BB OS and i heard u can run some android apps with it so it might be usable in 2018. so i have a question . Can i use the bb passport if i want to :
Use instagram
Use Whatsapp
Use BBM
Use Snapchat
Use Maybe a paypal app?
Use Kik
Use Spotify
Use Facebook and FB messenger
Use Twitter
Use Skype
Use Ebay
Use Amazon
Use AliExpress
I heard you can run the android version of these apps i listed
Youtube uh honestly i have the iphone 8 and i only watch youtube on it when i need to but i mostly watch it on my macbook i dont like watching videos on a small screen!
I am not a fan of android and even so the android bb phones dont look like a bb if u know what i mean , like it looks like another android phone just with a physical keyboard. BB isnt bb anymore without thier OS . Their OS is smooth and looks nice and i love the gestures and some of the gestures are even being used on the iPhone X! The bb OS is just great and if they kept it for long and more people started buying those devices and more developers started making apps for it i think bb will become big again. Now when i go sometimes online shopping for cases there is section for samsung devices and iphone devices and maybe LG but NO BLACKBERRY! even when i go to tech shops to buy anything for my phone i noticed non of those shops have anything for bb, BB is dying they need to do something different instead of just following what other devices are doing like just giving up and make all their devices android but with a physical keyboard...
This just my opinion you can disagree if you want but i really think bb10 was such a great OS and i really want to use a bb passport as a second phone but first i want to know if i can use the apps i listed !10-19-18 08:14 PMLike 0 - When people say bb10 is dead does it mean that u cant run any bb10 apps anymore? cuz i rlly want a bb passport cuz it looks nice and i love BB OS and i heard u can run some android apps with it so it might be usable in 2018. so i have a question .

Honestly, BB10 is perfectly usable if one's usage case can be done on a BB from ten years ago; email, phone calls, texts, listening to music, taking the occasional photo, and rolling the dice on web browsing.10-19-18 09:06 PMLike 0 -

You can use many of these apps on a Passport. As Thurask points out Skype is somewhat unclear, as one would have to use an Android version and there is a major change being made on Microsoft's end in a month, but all other apps you listed work on a Passport (many as their Android versions, but a few have native third-party versions as well).10-20-18 04:50 AMLike 0 - When people say bb10 is dead does it mean that u cant run any bb10 apps anymore? cuz i rlly want a bb passport cuz it looks nice and i love BB OS and i heard u can run some android apps with it so it might be usable in 2018. so i have a question .

Snapchat will not work at all and Skype will be dead soon. Workarounds and finding older versions of android apps are required for some others and even then your experience may be frustration. Social media apps on BB10 (especially android versions) are power intensive and will run hot, chewing up your battery. If you want a keyboard, your only option IMHO is a KEYone, K2 or K2LE android device.

- If your budget allows it, go for a KEY2.
If it doesn't, go for a KEY2 LE.
If it doesn't, go for a KEYone Black Edition.
If it still doesn't, go for a KEYone Silver Edition.
Skip the Priv.
Skip the Passport.
Skip BB10.
This is if you want all the apps you mentioned to work with no issues or headaches.cyberdoggie likes this.10-20-18 03:18 PMLike 1 - A BlackBerry 10 device in 2018 is really on GOOD for calls, sms texts, emails, BBM messaging and some light web surfing. That's it aside from the native calendar, BlackBerry Remember App etc.
Some of the apps you mentioned may or may not work given the Android Runtime and the ones that do, will run terribly. The platform in 2018 and beyond really is for the most basic of uses and it's not getting better.
The uses beyond 2020 will be even worse given the state of the browser and the availability of spare parts such as batteries, keyboards and screens.
Go ahead and purchase a device like a Passport if your budget allows, they are a totally unique phone and one that stands out and feels great in the hand with excellent basic messaging capabilities. Enjoy it for what it is in 2018 and beyond, an excellent call, sms text messaging and email based device.
Cheers and good luck
Posted via CB1010-20-18 03:47 PMLike 0 - The thing is , if i do buy a key one or key 2 it would be like buying another android phone but with a physical keyboard. I really like the BB10 OS so it would be really nice if i can still use it tin 2018 as a second phone10-20-18 04:46 PMLike 0

- If you understand the current limitations of the device and the OS with announced EOL in 14 months and can afford to lose the money spent anytime between now and whenever, buy the phone. You're saying it's a second phone hobby type device. Go for it. Since money isn't the issue, enjoy the device and then buy a PKB android to replace it...10-20-18 07:59 PMLike 0
- Okay ! Thank yall . Yall been very helpful i decided to buy the blackberry passport and the KEYONE and i might as well buy the key 2 just incase. cuz i rlly need the physical keyboard rn lol . And one of my classmates has the Keyone and she said the KEYONE keyboard is better than the KEY2 so i might buy all of them

Let's talk about the effect running all this android apps have on the battery. Thing is you can't have your cake and eat it too. The best solutions here for your needs seems to be a KEYXXX device IMO.
Hope you are happy with whatever you choose10-21-18 12:05 PMLike 0 -

I think you'll enjoy the Passport. Please feel free to post as needed if you need any help on the BB10 end, or on the TCL Blackberry Android end. While there are multiple groups of us who are still actively using each platform, Crackberry is a melting pot and you'll find help for both!

/*Passport SQW100-1*/Hemoo berry likes this.10-26-18 08:10 AMLike 1 - As far as specs the Priv is much better than the Key 2 overall and the passport is going to emulate apps that are going to accommodate the loyalty of users that have as its daily driver the Passport, maybe Priv as a secondary device. But overall try that Passport and stick with it because loyalists will inevitably find a way at some point in time to either root Android Oreo or higher and or continue to update the Priv in any capacity. All you have to do is worry about the extra gig of RAM that the Key 2 has over the Priv and Passport along with internal storage (Get a good cloud service); other than that the Priv is much more powerful and easy to use, etc... Passport was way ahead of it's time, at the time.(Try Cobalt here in the forums)... Been with BB since 2002, but it's been a slow death since 2013...11-16-19 03:42 PMLike 0
