- So I just switched to a KeyOne. It wasn't really a choice since my beloved Passport was dying on me and I figured that right now the only choice is between Android and Apple, there isn't anything else out there.
I decided to give the KeyOne a chance since I really like my keyboard and I really hoped that BlackBerry has kept some privacy standards.
Wel it's been 2 days and I HATE it! I mean I know there is a learning curve for every new phone so no, that's not it. I hate havimg to download an App for every darn thing I want to do. I hate having google everywhere on my phone for EVERY THING! For the pictures, for the music, even for the data transfer! Yes, there is a workaround, as there is for almost everything, but it meant I had to search online for solutions that were not Google.
Ofcourse I will eventually learn how to use the phone completely and maybe I will forget at some point how it was when your phone came with almost everything you needed. So before that happens I want to say this: BlackBerry you are wrong for stopping the BlackBerry 10 OS. It IS better than Android03-04-18 06:04 PMLike 5 - So I just switched to a KeyOne.

I have my PRIV for some banking things and for future use. For the time being I use my Passport as my primary phone. It has still some great years to go and it performs most things I need. Parking apps, public transport ticket apps, netflix, chromecasting and some other special things are still taken care of by the android runtime - still able to use the latest updates. For other tasks the native apps are good enough. The OS interface is just great

It wasn't a keep BB10 or move to Android choice.... it was get out of hardware sooner, of try with Android. No Android isn't perfect and yes many BB10 users miss what they had... like miss the 1966 Mustang that I had. Until I remember what having a car in Florida without Air Conditioning was like, and how much time I wasted working to keep it running.Mecca EL likes this.03-05-18 01:11 PMLike 1 -
- Bla1zeCB OGThen they'll be pleased when BlackBerry turns their BB10 smartphones into BB10 dumbphones. I don't really care what people use. They should use whatever they want. But let's not pretend that BB10 is alive in kicking. It's an OS that has less features and apps now then it did at its peak and it's going to get worse as time goes on. If you're fine with apps disappearing, not being updated or no longer working, and functionality being cut off, all good. Enjoy whatever life remains in BB10.mindedge likes this.03-05-18 02:37 PMLike 1

Ps.: It's always better to have 25 'real' friends than 25,000 friends on Facebook or any other online platform.03-05-18 02:43 PMLike 2 - That's why Nokia is going to sell some cheap upgraded feature phones with browser and email (most all feature phones have that too). Not everyone needs what a smartphone has become.ezubeBB2013 likes this.03-05-18 02:54 PMLike 1
- NO, he is NOT exaggerating.
My workplace uses Google Apps. I spent MANY hours trying to make my Classic work, especially with Hangouts, as that was critical for me to have so that I could do support when away from the office.
I could not get it to work (largely because we had dual factor authentication, I believe) and I even tried the mobile site for a period of time, but that just wasn't tolerable.
So, for me, Hangouts qualifies as a "basic app", and yes, I DID get TIRED of trying to make it work. I actually bought out a contract early in order to get a PRIV and be able to have my "basic" apps function adequately!03-05-18 02:58 PMLike 0 -

- Nope. I would wind up with a slab, likely an iPhone.
I would rather provide by own PKB device than try to type on some stupid narrow iPhone.
Wife had an iPhone 5 and just putting the wifi password in made we want to hurl the stupid thing across the room, never mind trying to use it for work.
I get where you're coming from, but in my case that just wouldn't work.
Besides which, it would get me off of BB in any case, as my corporation had abandoned them.03-05-18 03:34 PMLike 0 - So I just switched to a KeyOne.

It has been reliably reported that the costs from BB10 / the associated software NEARLY BANKRUPTED BB as a company.
Should they have CONTINUED down the BB10 path until they were BANKRUPT? How would that have been responsible???????
BB has NOT killed themselves. They have transitioned to being a successful software business.
Again, if they had not switched gears away from BB10 and the hardware, THEY WOULD NOW BE BANKRUPT and NOT EXIST.
The quality of BB10 is widely acknowledged, at least from a functionality point of view. However, from a BUSINESS and FINANCIAL point of view it was a COMPLETE DISASTER.03-05-18 04:17 PMLike 0 - It's simpler once you realize that there are some BB10 fans that feel ENTITLED to BB10 and think that BB should have continued to pour money and resources into it NO MATTER WHAT, and if they went bankrupt in the process, then "at least they tried."
They aren't interested in the survival of BB - just the survival of BB10, no matter what the costs. They can't be bargained with; they can't be reasoned with. They don't feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And they absolutely will not stop, ever, complaining about BB's dropping of BB10.
