The Inquirer probably would not have written about it at all if it couldn't have spun it like that, though.09-25-15 08:06 AMLike 0 - GREAT PUBLICITY!!!! And heaven knows BlackBerry needs the publicity whether good or bad. Awareness can never hurt.09-25-15 08:24 AMLike 0

- This is where I beg to disagree. Won't you agree that 800,000 units sold was pathetic and that the "red flag" is very on that the BB boat is leaking profusely? At this trajectory, only certain death awaits BB device making and it will be lose lose for all parties; but pivoting to Android OS will only displease some of the existing customers while seriously attempting to woo new potential customers in the Android land. I'd rather BlackBerry live for another day.09-25-15 08:46 AMLike 0

If BlackBerry Lives as Android, personally as a consumer I don't care one way or the other, because I don't want to use Android. For me, we've now arrived at the end, or at least that seems likely. I'll probably ride BB10 to its inevitable end, which Chen is claiming isn't imminent.
So, the mindset that puts apps above core functionality has won.
I've no reason to remain loyal to Blackberry--they sure as heck are proving that they're not loyal to me, not that I expected they should be.

I'm not sorry I did, because it might be the last actual BlackBerry phone ever made (maybe not). By ACTUAL BlackBerry phone I mean one that has a BlackBerry operating system and BlackBerry Hardware.
KAM09-25-15 09:23 AMLike 0 - What people don't realize is that half of the active CB members have stocks with BBRY, and they just want to maximize their investments. I get that everyone is complaining, I'm annoyed too, but when you have your own hard earned money being screwed with because the company is having a midlife crisis, people can get whiny.09-25-15 09:44 AMLike 0

- Yeah, that's the sort of thing you say to make people like me feel a little better for a little while. Unless there are devices coming along, then it's just a somewhat slower fall. I personally have around a 1.5 to 2.5 year cycle in terms of devices (usually), and I got a Passport SE on a leap of Faith.

But for whatever reason I never really considered running both the Passport and Priv...I'd have to think about whether that would make sense for me.
An idea I toyed with a while back was getting an affordable Android Tablet (can get them for $150 or less) for any of the app desires I might have. I actually have an iPad. There were some things I wanted to use it for that were not available except on iOS, but I DESPISE it, and consider it one of the worst buys I've ever made--so overpriced, and just a technologically simplistic piece of trash.
All that said--it is POSSIBLE that once I get my hands on a Priv (if anyone carries them in store) and I see the Blackberry features that it might click with me. I'm not too optimistic about that, but perhaps. I am pretty curious and eager to try out things, and in this case, it MIGHT be a default option whether I like it or not.
OR, maybe Windows phone.

- Yes, I'm enjoying the Passport SE quite a lot. I still have my Z10, which I plan to use when I need to run a little bit lighter.

BlackBerry 10 will no doubt still be superior to all in this area, but assuming BlackBerry 10 will die out (which it won't), android by BlackBerry will be superior to anything available.
Not sure how people don't see that.
Posted via CB1009-25-15 10:56 AMLike 0 - Whatever things BlackBerry does best - productivity and messaging - iOS and Android falls short by a wide margin. Windows is even worse. It's worse at messaging and productivity and it doesn't even have the apps.

So, my CHOICE is to keep the actual productive BB10 that I've got, but it seems likely at some point I'll be forced out of that. Is Windows Phone a worse choice overall than iOS or Android? I don't know, and you sure as hell don't know what works or doesn't work for me overall.
What is true is that I'm forced out of BB10 (eventually), that I'll be taking a step down from things that I value today, so I'll have to reevaluate everything across the board.
Android By Blackberry will be superior? And you don't see how people don't see that. Well, that's because we really have no hands-on experience to see how it will work for us. Maybe it will, maybe it won't. You have no idea what features really click for me, or what makes or breaks the experience.
Whatever the case, it will be a step down to inferior technology and experience (for me), so yeah, great Job BlackBerry.
