Let all the pitiful crying and whining begin.

In hindsight i'd say even the KeyONE is a stop gap test bed to test out if 40,000 odd keyones produced over a 13 month period & sold at 500-600$ turn a decent profit after tax and royalties paid to BlackBerry, to move on to a new pkb device in 2018.

And it won't be pretty if krypton is another tcl reference design and cut short at Android 0.

Yeah. It does suck a little. I was really hoping to get the update for the split screen mode and various battery improvements but hey, at least we still getting the security updates. .

I'm actually getting a brand new Priv delivered today so will be keeping that for at least 2 years, and would have been nice to have Nougat to play with. Oh well.

Ah well. Loving my PRIV and will keep it until end of current contract ... then we'll see what's on the market.

More reasons the Samsung, LG, Google, Sony and HTC flagships are a much better purchase than any of these Android-powered BlackBerries.

must admit, the priv is the last blackberry I will have, and have now joined the android forum to and apple to start reading up on what's out there, as been blackberry so long I ain't got a clue.

Unless you're like me and are a die-hard PKB person.
At least the average Android slab is wide enough to type on the VKB - the wife had an iPhone 5 and it was so hard to type on that I wanted to hurl it against the wall.
