Need new VKB phone in 2019. What to do?
- Really?? Only 3 word suggestions and most of them wrong/ inappropriate for context. Over Christmas I typed Merry Christmas into the iPhone VKB and even after 3 or 4 times, the iPhone AI still hadn't twigged that the next word after Merry would likely be Christmas. Came up with all sorts of rubbish. BlackBerry keyboard got it in one!! And the comma escapade is completely weird. BlackBerry keyboard multiple clipboard is also fantastic.
iPhone has some good apps - the health is fine. But email handling is atrocious compared to Hub.01-10-19 04:59 PMLike 0 - You can thank SwiftKey for those word predictions - BB licensed SwiftKey as the engine for the BB10 keyboard and again to move the keyboard to their Android phones. It's also the reason that BB can't offer the BB10-style keyboard on non-BB-branded phones - the license has restrictions.01-10-19 05:53 PMLike 3

- I will be needing a new VKB phone in 2019, but can't find an upgrade to my Motion!!
S9 is the closest, but battery doesn't come close to the Motion.
Same with the Nokia.
Pixel 3 has great camera (less important than battery) but no SD storage.
And I can't do without the BB VKB!!
I can wait to see what the Galaxy S10 looks like, but if it doesn't have a better battery, I'm not interested.
Note 9 is a possibility, but prefer the size of the S9.
I'm not holding my breath for a Motion 2, but I can wish.
What to do?

Beautiful build quality, best screens on the market, exceptional cameras. Put BlackBerry HUB Suite, BlackBerry VKB and even BlackBerry Launcher if you like. It will exceed everything you like about your Motion and receive Pie and One UI this month. You can probably pick one up for 400-500 on a sale as the S10 nears. Samsung also has KNOX and a DR card slot. Not to mention an excellent reputation for all touch Android devices starting @ the S4. For an all touch my S9 is like the ultimate Z30 upgrade. 😁01-12-19 04:43 AMLike 0

Let alone all the other things an S9 offers.
Let's keep this realistic, the Evolve is a decent device.01-12-19 04:59 AMLike 0 -
the s 9 has a 3000 mah battery , a 12 mp main camera and a 8 mp selfie camera
Evolve has 4000 mah battery, 13 mp main and 16 mp selfie
Sure the S9 has a better screen and has more LTE bands but the Evolve is restricted to certain geographical locations. Both have fingerprint scanners and facial recognition
Both have 4 gb ram and 64 gb internal storage ( s9 also comes in 128/256 gb)
Main difference is the price so let's get real...Last edited by Amaroni; 01-12-19 at 05:17 AM.

- DeX
- Fast Wireless Charging
- IP68 Water & Dust Resistance
- Faster Memory
- Far more Powerful CPU and GPU
The list goes on and on.01-12-19 05:11 AMLike 0 - Lol, you are comparing Camera megapixels which mean nothing, the S9 camera has a larger sensor, it has a far better camera than an Evolve.
The S9 has faster UFS memory meaning it can run much faster, the size of memory maybe the same but the Memory chips are of different quality.
Let's not forget again:
IP68 Water and Dust Resistance
Fast Wireless Charging
Samsung DeX
Better Display (Super AMOLED 1440P panel)
Faster CPU and GPU01-12-19 05:21 AMLike 0 - Lol, you are comparing Camera megapixels which mean nothing, the S9 camera has a larger sensor, it has a far better camera than an Evolve.

There is no doubt the S9 has a better specification , it also commands a higher price. My objection to your comment was simply that you stated that the S9 was a better device without explaining why.
I stated that the Evolve "provides me with all that " and for me it does. It also provides me something the S9 can never do which is Blackberry security.
Unless you are now going to question the superiority of the BlackBerry security software.
Looking at the whole package , including price, specifications and software , it is my opinion that I use a better device.
You are of course entitled to your opinion....01-12-19 05:33 AMLike 0 - Your original post specifically mentioned the camera.

Still would prefer a Motion 2 😔01-12-19 05:57 AMLike 0 -
I believe their upcoming Mseries may feature 5000mAh batteries though.01-12-19 03:59 PMLike 0 - Yeah I seem to remember Samsung having an issue with exploding batteries.... Maybe that has something to do with it ....oh and the Motion and Evolve run 4000 mHa batteries ...01-12-19 04:09 PMLike 0

Hopefully Samsung will start putting +4000mah batteries in more phones as they did in the Note9.01-12-19 04:14 PMLike 0 - 4000mah is typical with the Chinese OEMs. Have a 4200mAh in my Mate 20 Pro, I think Mr. Mobile was the one who said it gives the best battery life he has ever had on a phone, and hes a big BB fan.

Used to own a 8910 Curve and Q10 actually, wasn't as active back then, would just come here for tips and tricks, but I like how engaging the discussions are here.01-12-19 04:37 PMLike 0 -
Lots if Android slabs = lots of potential VKB customers.
It's refreshing someone at BlackBerry Ltd FINALLY saw a business case for this.01-12-19 05:46 PMLike 0
