For everyone who feels betrayed by BlackBerry over BB10...

You can send me your BB10 gear. I'll ensure it finds a good home with someone who will appreciate it!

So you are offering to reimburse them... how nice of you.

Well, it seems a lot of people think that the BB10 phones are going to be worthless very soon, so I'll offer $1.00 per working device, which is infinitely more than zero.

:-D

Sorry Verizon has you beat... they'll give $12.00 for a working Z10.


Too be honest I think more are just facing the reality that it's simply no future. When the time comes to upgrade... now, six months or a year, they'll have to find something else.

I wouldn't have thought so a year back but now I have to agree with you. My Z30 is just hanging on in there but I've just replaced my wife's 9900 with a cheap android. Have to say it's not too bad. I'm pleasantly surprised.

Too be honest I think there is way more drama going on about this. Android or iOS... I think after a few months most will wish they hadn't waited so long. Yes we will all miss BlackBerry, some will have a harder time without a PKB device (unless they wait to see if BlackBerry release one).

Agreed. I thought I couldn't live without BB10 but when the time arrives, I'll be relatively comfortable with an android device. Won't be a Priv though, it's too expensive.

The cheap android phone I bought for my wife only cost �75 and it's running marshmallow and is quite quick. Suits her anyway. Hehe. I have to say though, I've played with it a lot and to be honest BB10 and Android ain't that different.

"Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free" but only Passport. I don't want your scrub Q5s. :)

I have the Priv and I love it. I am also holding on to my Classic. Love the form factor and it will be a good backup or work phone if I choose to have another line.

Posted via my Priv

I'm lost without BB10. I renewed my contact and gave my upgrade to my daughter. They didn't have the passport and priv isn't my thing . I looked at all the Androids..but nothing turned my crank, for all that's out there it's still limited, the saturation point has been reached, no real reason for me to upgrade. oh well.

I don't feel betrayed. It's strictly business, nothing personal.

Posted via CB10

The way things are going, I don't think we've got much choice.

I love BB10 but we have to move on, because it's dying a slow death. I will stick with it for at least another six months. After that, Android is the only route.

That's what Michael Corleone said before he took out Chief McCluskey and the Turk...

Why should I feel betrayed by BlackBerry? They are just a company who happened to make a great smartphone OS, that for a number of reasons is no longer profitable. When it's time to move on, we'll just have to move on.

And, even though BlackBerry has moved on to Android, they have taken as much of BB10 with then as then can, and are still making phones that appeal to many BB10 users.

Thank you!! I mean it!
You just saved me from saying the same thing.
ONly difference is I end up turning my replies into a rant and my rants end up turning into infractions.

Plus, I think you may have just became very popular with many members for stopping me from ranting.

I'm not sure yet how I feel about it, though, so I may return.
In the meantime......

Thanks again!! :D

Not when you buy extras :p

Yes, he did, didn't he?



Don't worry, your son's are right here. Right here in front of you.

Betrayed? No, not me.

After all, BB is a company that was once great, stumbled, failed to recover and continues to make silly strategic moves and continues to suffer from foot in mouth disease.

When my stock of Q's are either all used or can no longer function I will look for something else: if the future is the same as the present, it will likely be an iPhone.

I predict a massive unofficial effort keeping the main BB10 devices going (z10, q10, z30, pp, classic) with bars, apks (think about what happened with the playbook) and auto loaders for a while. Then eventually BlackBerry (if they are still around with Android) putting out a security update that pretty much kills BB10, so as to limit the liability to their name with some of the emerging security threats that "grow" into the eventually "old" OS.

WhatsApp needs a hack. My dad is p'd off with them for the planned EOS for BB10. He likes his Z30, only made friends a good year ago or so, doesn't want to buy a "new" phone just for that silly app...

But yeah, it's obligatory in Europe, and he travels there frequently... :-(

Well, It's not THAT funny. I have the points to prove it!! Ya see, I originally thought those points were excepted as currency to be used in the store.
I'm just a few points from being able to get a new Passport or get banned for life... which ever I can get away with first!

I think that is what Tesio said before he was terminated by Michael.
