If no KEY3, what will you get?
- I receive hundreds of messages a day across two personal and five professional accounts. At any point in time I only care about 1-3 of them. On Android, I have to scan my notifications with the screen on hundreds of times a day to know what's come in. On my BB10 phones I can leave the screen off and rely on the color of the LED to know if I have to pick it up.
The LED, plus BB10's unlimited notification profiles and contact-level notification overrides allow me to stay focused on productive work rather than being a slave to my handset.

I'm just trying to characterize how silly the "Android does everything BB10 does." comments are when it comes to serious email handling.
I prefer Android to iOS by a large margin, and I really like my KEYone for the hundreds of minor things it's great at that BB10 can't touch, but it's just not built for prime time when it comes to respecting my time and attention for a busy, long work day. I have to babysit the damn thing all day long to avoid losing real dollars from real clients, and that keeps me from the more complex tasks that require uninterrupted focus.
It's not even a close call.

It's a one size-fits all approach that's great for the masses and awful for real power users.
From the screen of my trusty Z10 using the exceptional BlackBerry VKB.11-10-19 12:08 PMLike 0 - I've been thinking about the OP's question a lot these days. My plan right now is to run my KEY2 Red into the ground first.
I have the Titan shipping in December (at least that's what Unihertz is saying), but realistically, that's just something to play with as a novelty item and likely not something that I'll use as a daily driver.
While I plan to go as far as I can with the K2 Red, I know that I will start getting antsy around Summer 2020 for something new. I already own various Android slabs (Essential, Note8, Pixel 3 to name a few) but for some reason, none of them give me the same feels as the Motion (crazy, I know!).
I'm very interested in seeing what the new Razr has to offer as well as the next iteration of the Samsung Fold. Once foldables start taking off, the prices will come down and that's when things will start to get really exciting!11-10-19 12:10 PMLike 0 -
Let me extremely clear here. I in no way care what you use. I’m glad you use what works best for you and believe everything you say about you.
It’s as if some of you were working for BlackBerry as they fell from grace. I can see you all arguing “we don’t have to change, it’s all about email and notification lights. That’s what everyone wants!”
The fact remains that just because 10 people on CrackBerry still like BB10 means nothing. I hope you all continue to get support for it. You can continue to argue what is “best” if that makes you feel better but it won’t sell phones.
Now, back to our regularly scheduled programming.11-10-19 12:14 PMLike 0 - Hello,
In a previous post I said my choices would be pixel3a and Samsung a50 but but but I recently found the Nokia 6.2. Maaaaa men is that a nice device and it costs usd 249 unlocked at Amazon
I think I found myself a new device with this iconic brand.

Not a fan of the VKB but it's serviceable. I might like it less if it was my work phone.
Great hardware and screen. The "smart" pen it comes with is kinda cool. Doesn't have a head phone jack, but the ear buds that came with it plug into the USB-c port.
No LED light though and I am a person who likes that. Someone in another thread siad there is a way to set up the flash light to function as a notification.11-10-19 12:45 PMLike 0 - For you.

Frankly, I don't have a lot of patience for anyone "promoting" anything on these forums. Not Android. not iOS, not BB10, and not BBOS. I am here to share my experiences and compare notes with others to help each other be productive on our chosen tech. If you tell me that you appreciate the huge range of apps you can access on your Android phone, or the simplicity of your iPhone, I get it, and I appreciate hearing about your experience.
What's boring is people saying negative things about other people's choices that are simply obvious, such as that BB10 has fewer users than Android, or that Android has more apps. I use BB10, iOS and Android daily, and I want to hear people talk in detail about what they like and don't like about all of them.
At the end of the day, we use these devices to get stuff done. What's interesting is that we all do different stuff and have different priorities and perspectives.

I came across the new Motorola RAZR the other day - I'm not one to hop on the foldable display bandwagon, but it looks like a really cool concept.11-10-19 02:50 PMLike 0 - I'll hold onto my KeyOne Black and move to any successor of the Unihertz: Titan if not the first iteration of the rugged Titan itself.

Most of the iPhones that are available today from Apple aside from maybe the 8 are too big for an average person to reach the top without changing the position of their hand (something that increases the chances of dropping it).11-10-19 03:42 PMLike 0 - 11-10-19 04:18 PMLike 0

But many of us don't want to live our lives based on the lowest common denominator of mass consumption. If we decide that popularity is the same as quality we will miss out on a lot of the best things that human civilization has to offer.

I've been buying up every BlackBerry that gets released as if they were Pokemon, but the end of new BlackBerry hardware has me moving in a more fiscally responsible direction. After the Titan, I'm going to give the ole wallet a chance to heal.
I want a stock Android experience with no bloat in my daily driver so I've started using my Pixel 3 a bit more around the house as a Wi-Fi only device. The only thing that stopping me from commiting to it is the fact that's it single SIM.
I was so thrilled when TCL started releasing dual SIM BlackBerrys. It changed my life. Unfortunately if I go with the Pixel 3, I will have to go back to dual carrying
As for my football team... technically, since I'm from Toronto, I should be cheering for the Argos. But Toronto is notorious for being too snobby for the CFL! So instead, I'll see you on MNF where Jimmy G and friends will show the world why the Niners are the only undefeated team left in the NFL!!!Tim-ANC likes this.11-10-19 07:16 PMLike 1 -
- I also had the itch to get another KEY2 but knowing it's not getting another OS update plus the keyboard in my opinion isn't "Blackberry " quality so the decision is easy........wait for something better or nothing at all11-10-19 09:13 PMLike 0

That makes sense in a way.
But to me, I'd rather have a "GhostBerry" or a "MockBerry" than NoBerry.
It's still something, better than nothing.11-10-19 09:18 PMLike 0
