You just proved my point perfectly.
Posted via CB1012-29-13 01:33 PMLike 0 - My original question was "What makes you think Google is the only company does this". You told me how Google operates instead. Thus not answering the original question. So I had to reiterate a third time. I'm not trying to win any technicality. I was simply trying to get an answer for my original question.12-29-13 01:33 PMLike 0

- I did find that fragmentation pretty quickly.... When you have to download a different apps for different pruposes, you're now running in a OS wich each functionality was designed by different persons, different ways of coding and managing the UI... So right from the start, the layout isn't coesive. Especialy in gesture based OS, a functionality that is built in the OS is already a huge plus because the way it operates would be pretty much like the rest of the functions (in android terms is apps that you downloaded), they work about the same way, the menus are where you expect them to be, etc...
Not to mention that built in functions within a OS (or call it apps), can talk and interact between them, thing that is very difficult with a bunch of third party apps... You can see the way the Hub or BBM can interact with pretty much everything on the phone... try that with whatsapp.... you end up in the so well know "jumping between apps" on IOS and android...
Third party apps are so disconnected from the OS, that as you can see, android apps works as good in a BB10...
Note, I am not saying BB is worse. I am rebutting the negative statements being made to attempt to raise BB higher.

You keep bringing in the market to enforce your views or make a point. I'm part of the market and buy whatever I want. But I also don't let the market affect my purchases (I'm not saying you do) but for many they buy whatever is most hyped.

Posted via the Android CrackBerry App!12-29-13 01:38 PMLike 0 - Most of the apps I use on Android (Evernote, pocket, tweet caster, etc.) all work very well together and it's easy to get into their menus (the 3 dots). I can easily share between apps, email from an app, text from an app. With Google music I can listen to music over wifi from my PC. Effortless.

Don't get me wrong, I called it a drawback, but it is also a upside, the upside is high costomizability, and you have to sacrifice one or another, it's up to personal choice.12-29-13 01:43 PMLike 0 - I did find that fragmentation pretty quickly....

Also, I've been using a lot of the same apps for so long and had become so integrated into the OS that I forgot they were apps I downloaded. When I was setting up my Z10 I was trying to emulate some of the same functionality and I realized some things I had come to expect as functions were actually apps.12-29-13 01:43 PMLike 0 -
To publicize or promote, especially by extravagant, or inflated, Excessive publicity and the ensuing commotion, Exaggerated or extravagant claims made especially in advertising or promotional material.
Most of that is done in generating the sales for Android.
Samsung pays a lot to generate hype, so does google. People fall for it and just buy, marketing = success. Sometimes you buy things you don't even need due to great marketing.
Does over hype mean something is better than something else? No.

So if you think Android is fragmented, you'll eventually run into similar issues in Blackberry. Unless you avoid those apps and only used ones that are built for Blackberry.12-29-13 01:54 PMLike 0 - 12-29-13 01:55 PMLike 2
- Although I would agree in some parts with what you said, it isn't excatly the same... the word "share" today is something too basic compared to "unified experience". BBM is a good example, you can still share a lot of stuff in BBM for android and IOS, but is to a much lesser degree compared to Blackberry on BB10, where BBM feels built in the OS, not a running app. In that regard, IOS does the best job af all with all the proprietary stuff, at the drawback almost no costomizability

Posted via CB1012-29-13 02:02 PMLike 0 - Again the market is not supporting your point of view. You may love what BB10 does for your, but most people really couldn't give a crap about a file manager coming with a phone or not . There are so many selling points for each OS and devices that consumers focus on what they need most.

It's better. Android has all the apps, BB10 file manager is better.12-29-13 02:03 PMLike 0 - And Blackberry brought that same eco system you are referring to over the Blackberry 10 with the Android Runtime. Your signature says you have the Q10 on ordered so I assume you haven't used it yet. You'd be surprised at the amount of apps in the Blackberry App World that are Android ported apps. Skype and Waze are a couple that are available on Blackberry App World that runs on top of the Android Runtime.
So if you think Android is fragmented, you'll eventually run into similar issues in Blackberry. Unless you avoid those apps and only used ones that are built for Blackberry.

BB10 was WAY hyped up around here before its launch. People were forecasting BB to overtake Apple and/or Android within the year. It was the saving grace that would put BB back on top. I bought into the hype. I was pumped. I bought the Z10 on T-Mo's launch day. I loved it, despite some speed bumps. I was riding the hype wave around here. But after the honeymoon period I realized it just wasn't complete enough for my needs. I reluctantly sold it to another fine CB member. I REALLY had wanted to love it, but unfortunately no amount of hype could make it be the best device for me.
Again, those are just my experiences and don't claim to speak for anyone else. I'm just saying that hype goes both ways.TgeekB likes this.12-29-13 02:04 PMLike 1 -
To be better than something, that something must exist.

And you forgot the first definition of hype

I know many Android users that were excited by all the customization, the freedom and all the features of Android when they use it for the first time. They hyped up the platform by telling the rest of their family and friends about their new thing.
Yes there is promotional hype produced by the companies who sell these devices, but there is also hype generated by the users themselves. This is why the Android ROM community thrives so well. People are excited to customize and optimize their devices even more, ad they formed and entire community out of it.pantlesspenguin likes this.12-29-13 02:06 PMLike 1 -
- Android is hyped AND a lot of people like it. What is hard to understand about this? Over hyping doesn't mean something is better and I did't say that.

I hope Blackberry goes back to their roots, enterprise. The built in file Explorer may be very useful then.
