Blackberry Priv easily obtainable, the Android move allows them to sell them
- It happens just as I predicted. I was in a store today and the Blackberry Priv was there available so that you could tinker with it. Previously with the BB10 phones were not allowed to be sold at all because there are forces that want to kill non-US operating systems.
Essentially what this means is that.
They suddenly want to sell Blackberry because it is now running Android.
The prize is higher that the Blackberry Passport, so that they are too expensive and the sales volume is too low is false.01-16-16 11:01 AMLike 0 - It happens just as I predicted.

Alternately it could be not true that you couldn't buy BB10 phones - amazon and verizon carry them for instance
True that Android is a mobile computing system and BB10 not so much.

- Who is going to buy a very plastic feel Blackberry Android phone for almost $800? The point with this thread was to show that all these arguments falters and the real reason that I stated is becoming more clear.01-16-16 12:56 PMLike 0

There is no conspiracy here, just a platform that was late to the party, and half-finished when it was initially released.01-16-16 05:42 PMLike 7 - Bb10 didnt sell because the market did not want it. You can put the conspiracy theories to bed. Smartphone purchases are driven by applications. Hell Microsoft can't get anyone to buy their phones either. Do you think there is a conspiracy against Microsoft?

But seems there are a lot of people paying $800 for the "Priv"01-17-16 06:19 AMLike 0 - I think they are trying actively to sell it partly because it is Android. They know Android sells, and they can actually demo it with no steep learning curve.
Posted via CB1001-17-16 07:24 AMLike 0 - I don't see any indication that Priv is selling well first off. Second BB10 devices were VERY hard to find at carrier stores (where the majority of devices are sold). I have sent many people to go check them out only to have them turned away by reps. Store models were always hidden, powered down or all out missing. Carriers have good reason not to sell BB10 though and it has nothing to do with apps. Its data usage, why would you push a device that guarantees the customer will not need a higher tear data plan? Android device with the same apps installed will consume significantly more data than a BB10 device and the carriers knw this.
I have been asking on social networking "why you did not buy a blackberry" and the most common reason was that the people had no idea they still made phones. Out of about 180 reply's only 1 person said they preferred android and about 20 said because they preferred iOS. Blackberry did nothing to push its own platform and the carriers do not want to sell it.01-17-16 07:51 AMLike 0 - I don't see any indication that Priv is selling well first off.

My father uses about 8 gigs per month for 2 android phones after I dropped from our family plan and he switched to android phones from BB. Before I dropped we had a 3 gig plan and seldom went over.01-17-16 08:18 AMLike 0 - My friends and family have. I use a 2 gig plan for 2 devices and have never gotten close to going over. My mother who is on wifi 90% of the day had to upgrade to a 4 gig from a 1 gig (and still goes over) after switching from windows phone to android. She does not download apps and uses it primarily for FB and text.

Posted via CB1001-17-16 08:39 AMLike 0 - The Priv is widely on sale now but my observation is that it doesn't sell better than any BB10 device. It is just too expensive for the average Android consumer, Blackberry fans will not buy it because it doesn't run BB10. The Priv is dead on arrival and a completely artificial product not based on any sane business analysis. The purpose of the Priv was to kill BB10 so that I cannot ever because popular. Blackberry has now diverted so much resources to Android that BB10 is dead, which is the same model they used for Symbian. Next step is to sack the QNX and BB10 personnel so that it becomes impossible to continue developing the OS:01-17-16 01:03 PMLike 2
