    I think blackberry announced they are software company. So it's not a problem they can upgrade android core to 9.0 for bb10. My meanings is bb10 platform but can running Android 9.0. Is that possible? Let's discuss this topic and feedback to BlackBerry software team.

    The fact that it's not permitted by the OHA is overshadowed by the folly of having to make the multi-billion dollar investment to accomplish it.

    Hey, that sounds like a great idea! You really should write it up and mail it to the BlackBerry Chairman and CEO, copying the members of the Board of Directors. If it meets their investment criteria, I don't see why they wouldn't do it.

    You are right. But he never answered any questions from 2014. I asked him some questions on twitter. It seems his tweet stopped update many years.

    You know what? Many people love blackberry phone because of love. Just love. But all of big fans disappointed because blackberry give up them. Blackberry doesn't like critical and bad words. They don't accept any suggestions from customers. That's why blackberry failed in smart phone market. Sorry about this complain. If these words against some rules about forum please delete It But not block me. Thanks

    It was.

    You know what? You are not alone.

    Unfortunately, there weren't enough of us to keep the money flowing, so BlackBerry had to give up on the financial disaster that was BB10, and do something else or they would have actually gone bankrupt by now.

    None of us are saying that BB10 itself was bad - it wasn't. It was great with a lot of potential that was just never realized.

    BlackBerry didn't give up on its customers. The customers gave up on BlackBerry starting way back in 2013. And we've been talking about it ever since.

    If we seem a bit hostile, it's only because we've gone round and round with these threads by newcomers at least twice a month for the past several years now.

    It's one thing to dream, but it's another to somehow take the reality of the situation personally, which quite a few have done.

    Dozens - maybe hundreds - of threads exist on the CB Forums discussing this very issue, and there are many reasons why it cannot (not may not, but cannot) happen.

    Have you tried a BlackBerry KEY2? It's a fantastic device and the sliver version looks similar to the Passport Silver Edition in its design. It also runs Android 8.1 and will receive the upgrade to 9.0.

    BlackBerry World and BIS will be shut down at the end of 2019, so now is a good time to consider upgrading.

    But if you want to guarantee the viability of your DNA going forward, you will have to buy date a lot more women.
