If future bb10 phones came without any Android runtime at all, but you could pay, say $99 in BlackBerry world to get an officially google approved runtime with full play services etc, would that be worth it? It would cost for each device and would get updates to that handset or perhaps 3 years of updates for that BlackBerry ID.

I for one would go for it.

Oh, and please don't talking about the OHA etc, this is purely hypothetical.

The less I have to do with Google, the better.

Would you balance a unicorn on your nose for Google services? It makes about as much sense and have as much chance of happening.

No.

There are several reasons why I own BB10 devices, and android run-time is definitely NOT one of them!

I would, but not for $99. Hypothetically, it it does happen, the google services have to be smooth as naive.

I won't. But I assume I will have to pay the price for my wife.

Pay $99 on top of the cost of purchasing the phone? The only way that would make sense is if it would be a one time fee and not be a recurring charge.

Some people would go for it, some people won't.

It might be something Google could look into now that they might be getting hit with a lawsuit about them locking out Android. It would let competition in but Google would also make money.

I just threw out that price. Preferably it would be a one time fee per BlackBerry ID or a smaller fee per device. At any rate, if it allowed full app compatibility without any sideloading, even of the play store.

So? I don't either but there are apps I can't any other way.

Since we're talking hypothetical, I would rather pay the $99 to make all the android apps native.

I certainly wouldn't pay or want official Google support on my Passport. I'm much happier carrying around an iPhone 5C for apps that BB10 lacks.

No, I'd want the android runtime updated first before I consider paying extra for Google services.

A more likely alternative would be if Blackberry released a Google Edition Passport running full Android. I do recall seeing a video of a Passport running Android.

Well $99 is too much maybe $2 or something because Google will make money when I use it's services or purchase apps via Google Play store just like any other Android phone. It doesn't make sense to pay so much extra as compared to other Android phones.

I'd buy an android device before I paid for Google support for a BlackBerry device.
