    Blackberry is done with BB10. I believe it has been EOL. Besides ART would have never been updated due to an agreement with Google.

    If blackberry is just going into software.
    Does it not make sense that it should still update BB10 as it is software.

    Well that's what I've been thinking too but apparently they are too focused on their new Android devices!

    They are bound by legal agreements that will not allow for an ART update at this point. Your box will collect dust. Might as well keep using it!

    As soon as you tell them how they can make a profit from it, they'll update it.

    4 years and counting, and they haven't made a cent yet.

    No because BlackBerry is a company not a charity.

    Might want to keep in mind that the battery does better in storage if it's charged.... Even few months you might want to unbox it and charge it up.

    If you are waiting for an update... go ahead and disassemble the Passport and remove the battery.

    As the others have said, BlackBerry will never update the Android runtime from 4.3 to 5.0 and beyond because they now sell fully Android-powered phones which would make it illegal.

    The iPhone 8 (or 7S???) will be coming this September, so don't bother with the 7+ at this point, unless you really end up hating the 2017 iPhone's design or something.

    Why is it call chicken fingers if chickens don't have fingers?
    Why is there no egg in eggplant nor ham in hamburger; neither apple nor pine in pineapple.
    Does it make any sense that you fill in a form by filling it out?
    If you can't drink and drive, why do you need a driver's license to buy liquor?

    It's pretty obvious that "sense " really isn't a priority!

    Xiaomi Mi Mix 2 is out later this year.

    Expect it to build on the game changing Mix 1 and be even more expensive.

    To be fair, I'm not 100% certain of the date for when the iPhone comes to Indonesia*, but for most countries it's usually September-October.

    * I don't really know where you're from, but may have read that you live in Indonesia from one of your posts.

    Sure, but the want to go into software they can sell. No new BB10 devices means they will not be generating any revenue. And before someone recommends charging for software updates, there are to few existing BB10 customers to make it worthwhile.

    Many are likely like my corporation who got tired of having to maintain/support BB servers in order to have secure communications.
    There were also many hardware issues at one point, which is where my kids stopped using BB.
