Originally Task and Note were two separate apps on BBOS. The Remember app consolidated but limited their functionality. I used both religiously on BBOS, and they'd not limited on Android.

I don't see how you can't access an exchange account, when both apps allow email account setup. I don't have an exchange account to setup and test, but... yeah, I don't see why that isn't possible

They don't allow you to sync folders, only tags. Folders are simpler and better supported with other exchange apps (i.e. remember app on ios/mac).

The File Manager on OS10 is the only one I've seen that features Dropbox, Box and OneDrive in one place. Not to mention the PC synced via Link.

When I make the switch, I'd miss BlackBerry Travel.

BB Travel is just a BB-themed version of the WorldMate app, and WorldMate is available for the other platforms.

Of course, Google has all of those functions and more built-in to Google Now, should you decide to use that.

does WorldMate tell you the gate change on time? the timely gate change update at BB travel saved me few times - still have to run for the gate, but not left behind... thx.

Based on the one market that BlackBerry has licensed and the other couple the listed as possibilities.... I wonder if it wouldn't be better to focus on how to best transition BBOS users to Android. What would allow them the smoothest transition?

Personally I can't remember too much about BBOS that I miss.

But of the BB10 experience.... File Manager and BLEND along with LINK (many BB10 users don't like the whole Google or Cloud backup and syncing features).

Also think they ought to tweak the camera app.... combine their TIME SHIFT with a LIVE PHOTO.

Time Shift is excellent!!!! Good point!

Other than the fact that current users are used to the interface, is there anything really special about any of these BB10 apps?

checkout poynt... it got multiple tasks aggregated in one app with minimum storage space and good UI (simple, clean, no silly graphics). typical BB app (was design for BBOS, it is even better than bb10 version).

Definitely the bb10 music player App, that one was really underrated!

[duezzer]

All of them. Put them all on Google play!!!! Allllllllll of Themmmmmmm

Poynt has been on Android (and iOS also) for years now.
Poynt - Android Apps on Google Play

To be fair, you can say that about a lot of apps. Many of these are apps that are all about the interface, such as File Manager and Pictures.

Maybe I wasn't clear enough and that's my bad. I was referring to native file managers - the ones that come "out of the box". I've always used ES File Explorer on my Android devices and it's a solid 3rd party app.

There's a native file manager on all android devices

I know that. Only iDevices ship without a native file manager. BTW, it's only recently that file managers are present across all Android phones. Prior to KitKat, not too many had them. Case in point, my old Droid DNA didn't have one and it wasn't exactly a budget phone.

Yes - all that functionality has always been WorldMate behind the scenes. BB Travel is just an app for WorldMate with a BB skin - BB never provided any of the information or processing logic themselves. It's similar to the BB10 Facebook app - just because it was a native BB10 app doesn't mean that BB is hosting FB - they're just writing a front-end that connects to FB and uses FB's servers, processing, and resources. And the other difference, of course, is that BB licensed WorldMate and was able to re-brand it under the licensing terms.
