So all of a sudden BlackBerry is advertising...
- I don't know if I want to take a look at any major advertising they're doing because the 'minor' advertising is so poor. The ads that pop up for me are hideous and embarrassing. Even this one, today, is a mess... mixed fonts, trashing their branding... it's like they have no marketing department. This kind of thing is important; it's what actually made Apple Apple.

Hint... it won't happen.

More than 90% of the time, the answer is.... wait for it... "No."
As was already said, people aren't going to give up the apps and games they have been accustomed to for "a superior OS." Didn't happen, not gonna happen. BB10 in its current form would have needed to be ready in 2011 or 2012 to have had a real shot. Blame Chen alllllllll you want, but BB10 had failed before he even took over.

- They put up with it and choose to work around it ... which blows my mind....but I digress. It's a function people in all business segments across the planet on the road use everyday all day. Some might even say more than using 3rd party apps ... but let's not get into that argument

On Passport releases they were still in pain for the billion dollar write-off and 50% lay-off they had to do to stay alive... and now their finance is stabilized enough thanking for those measures, and finally they can afford to have a marketing spending in this holiday season.11-26-15 05:49 PMLike 0 - Apps, Apps, Apps! Android has the Apps ecosystem plus the consumer market and that justifies BB spending money on ads to chase those consumers.

The worst email in the 12 years i've been doing it on a smartphone.
Even among the iPhans i know, the native mail client is a sore subject.11-26-15 06:36 PMLike 0 -

It's bad because I honestly think this is also the creative director. The fact that they sent out an email and said that the Kardashians a carrying the priv. Says everything about the person. Or that they put a dog with a priv in his mouth. Or putting people making love with the priv. Lol!!

Does not format according to screen size appropriately
File handling is terribly limited (but to be fair, that's because iOS doesn't handle the files, not the email client)
For me, 9 has made the email buggy as all get out; items do not download/open, mail fetching is not automatic (i get an email on the Classic, maybe tomorrow i get it on the iPhone, maybe not at all)
i tend not to use the iPhone as much as possible, so i can't list every grievance off the top of my head.11-26-15 06:51 PMLike 0 - I'm inclined to believe that advertising is part and parcel to Chen's plan. While we can complain about his leadership in some areas. I believe he includes advertising in the cost of the device. My guess is that cost was included in the evolution and development of the Priv and thus we are seeing it now.

My biggest beef is the keyboard and copy/paste which I can't seem to master and can be frustrating.11-26-15 07:31 PMLike 0 -

And we've derailed here anyway, taking away from the topic. I can respect your opinion on not liking it and we can leave it at that.Last edited by donnation; 11-27-15 at 06:41 AM.

Only one I had for over a year without a single issue...and I've been through pretty much every Blackberry device plus a dirty year and a half of Androids between retiring my OG Torch and the Z10 release.
If only Google would give up true GPS to BB...11-26-15 09:28 PMLike 0 - Well that attachments aren't in the header, but rather at the foot of the mail is enough, but let's go on:

I don't even think there's time for someone to sit down and review and remember all the features. Each person knows their own set of features.
It's the biggest battery waster to have all the features. As for Apple, I have no idea what drains their os so much. It's so simple, it shouldn't be worse than android
