Can enough negative publicity cause bbry to reverse course?
No. Thor feels foolish enough right now, reversing course would make him into an indecisive fool.
Maybe we can induce them to release a modified bb10?
We'll be skiing in He!! long before that happens. Anything that involves PB development (at all) ain't happenin'
That IMO is possible. Just re-build the existing 1526 OS with the old full-fat Bridge in place of the diet version. No development required, just involves running a re-build script and publishing on the servers.
Even bbry seems to have reversed course and is issuing a new OS7 device.
I know.

Apparently OS7 is gonna save BB (again!). Not sure whether to laugh or wonder if such a left-field idea might actually work.
