The Priv will be using the Android FB and Twitter apps. And they're integrated. And we've already SEEN Hangouts integration. So you're already proven wrong. Be happy. ;)

Cant wait to get my hands on the system APK's. Going to port these over to the Nexus 6. Selling my Z30 in the classifieds if anyone is interested.
I wonder if the apps will actually check for the injected PIN and have hardware DRM. Much like back in the days some software requires a hardware key.
Since they plan to sell the Productivity Suite to other Android and iOS users, why would it check for the injected PIN?

First, I think we know the answer to WHY they would want to do it.
Second, the BlackBerry Experience Suite that will be offered to other devices may have differences and will probably be sold using a different model (like part of a BES subscription). It too may be associated with a user's PIN.

Let's go BlackBerry. I may not be ordering this phone at this moment but surely will be soon. I'm in love with this phone.

There is no question that Hub draws on other apps.
For example, with text messaging, Hub uses the default text messaging app OR whatever text messaging app is selected by the user.
Also, there is no question that Hub integrates instant messaging apps other than BBM.
Basically Hub gathers all messages and notifications into one place.

Just wait for the reviews to see what the hub looks like. Also you know you could load the outlook app on the priv as well.

Why would you want to use Outlook on a Priv? Get another Android phone if that's what you want.

Keyboard. It's all about choice.

It was just a suggestion for me there are a few reasons I'm considering he Priv vs other androids.
The outlook app is ok but I perfer NINE for 0365 stuff.
Activation. If the device has an injected PIN means it's a BlackBerry device, you can run the suite for free. If not, you need to purchase a license in-app.
Otherwise if they use Play Store, someone can buy the app and use it on all their devices. I'm not aware Play Store doing per-device authorizations for apps. If I were BlackBerry I would definitely go with a per-device licensing model over a per-user.
:) for the record, Bla1ze never said it is "based on what he has currently ". Mum is the word. Lol!
I believe that Hub will be updated from Google Play OOTB with new features.
If it is on Google Play, People can grab the APK. I would imagine that BlackBerry has taken steps so that it won't work on other devices. But maybe BlackBerry would let copying go on to spread the word.

1. Swift key can be used on android.
2. Outlook is available on android
3. Do you really expect a simulator to go in full detail of all the special features
4. You have not tested the priv or used it in person so how do you know iOS is better.
5. Even if you don't like android you can still buy a BB10 device and be happy.....
If you want the iPhone by all means get it.. Don't judge a phone you never used based on a limited scenario simulator.... Thanks for your contribution though.

3. Yes.

Plus, there are major security issues with the Outlook app, at least on iOS and at least some are design decisions, so would be the same on Android. We actively block it.
Wrong. That BlackBerry hub on android is made special. Because it operates through special kind of BIS/BES for it to work secure/private. Text/email from a person, the sms or email would go 1st to their secure servers then to your phone via hub.. that way they can eliminate piracy when someone tries to install the hub features to just another android.
