I miss BlackBerry Travel.
How come? I use TripIt; it's a little good substitute
i mid the old bb travel app. i used to book my flights and hotels there with the best prices. everything BlackBerry touched back then was awesome. til it wasn't....
Unfortunately, there are no analogues so far, there is no phone for a long time, but this is equal to the pitiful)
For sure there are others out there. I'm just being nostalgic.
for what ever the reason BBOS7 version appear to be working at least last summer (I didn't check after that).
I do wonder.... if at any point the BB10 userbase surpassed the BBOS userbase?
that's hard to tell. SAF still point out around 1-3 million BBOS out there. But there is nothing you can track for BB10 userbase (like all handsets I know of are on wifi only, no SIM... track carrier user data is no use). IMHO.
Not sure SAF tells us that?
$9,000,000/3=$3,000,000 a month. IF they are able to get $3 a user per month at this point, that's only a million users at best If BIS is $5 or $10 a month... or there is some infrastructure licensing fees, it could be far fewer. We just don't know.... my guess would be about half that amount for BBOS and fewer for BB10...
Only BlackBerry knows how many truly active users there are. But I'd be surprised if that's a million combined at this point.
BlackBerry Travel used to send me updates to delayed flights before even the gate agents said anything. One time, the notice was an hour early. It was so nice.
Blackberry Travel and Traffic were excellent, purposeful apps. I use Trip Case now but it's no where near as good.
I'm on a KEYone these days and every time I power up a BB10 device (I have three as travel backups), my email is parsed and I get a ton of BlackBerry Travel emails. I just tried the Close Account in the app, but I have no idea if it actually took. Obviously, travel.blackberry.com doesn't work anymore. How do I turn the auto-parsing off?
Have you tried Tripit as well? If so, which one is better?
Close Account didn't take. I still got a BlackBerry Travel email while I was on a trip. The flight was in 2017 and the email had a "(c) 2017 Research in Motion Limited".
