I like the settings menus on the iPhone but the browser font is too small. The graphics are a little garish on my Samsung. My BlackBerry is slow and needs an upgrade but BlackBerry and app work arounds do not always work and are unreliable.
BlackBerry is the PKB . The PKB market is small but the BB10 market is smaller. I would rather have a PKB model that works as well as other phones than to limp along with BB10. None of the various phone platforms are crap. Right now and just speaking for myself, I find that Android works the best .Last edited by Bbnivende; 01-09-16 at 11:36 AM.

Oh and before I get flamed again by anyone and just for posterity, the one swipe by android is just as efficient. No difference in my experience.

I would pay that for our 50 BlackBerry carrying employees as well. $6K a year for 50 users would be a no brainer.

Nonetheless, I believe it is an option worth consideration.
I grow weary of pervasive attitudes of entitlement to something for nothing.

People will swallow paying more for something but they hate paying even a little bit more for something that should be included. Imagine the uproar if a restaurant had a sign that says "Restrooms- Free" and "CLEAN Restrooms $2". People would riot even though $2 is not much to pay to use a clean restroom when you want one.01-09-16 12:33 PMLike 0

- This is ridiculous. I have a Samsung, iPhone and a BlackBerry. They all email , text , and take pictures. They all do not run apps well. Once you get up to speed on any one phone and if you take the time to learn the nuances each one is works well.

I also think you can get App fatigue. More devices should just work right out of the box without this reliance on 3rd party apps for better camera, file management, social communication etc etc. When you are a working parent, with active kids and extracurricular activities, you'd rather do something else with your free time than sift through app reviews. A good book for instance. I don't mind sifting through those reviews.

- Does not change the Browser font size. My eyes are just not good enough for Safari or Chrome on iOS. The desktop browser on both Android and BB10 are much better for font size.

If I only needed a smart phone for my personal needs, and if I cared about apps, I would probably choose an Android phone simply because I can't stand the look and feel of iOS. And I really would spend much time thinking about which apps to use because, really, what does it matter?
As for your comment of letting the IT department tell you what to use, my IT department would tell you to use a Blackberry or an iPhone because they cannot certify Android phones for accessing corporate data.
Posted via CB1001-09-16 03:38 PMLike 0 - That's the problem I have with both Android and iOS. They are geared towards consumer desires to play with lots of apps.

- Yeah, residents in some departments are even issued iPads. All the medical software for managing patients is of course not available for BlackBerry. And even the most popular apps used personally by doctors aren't available for BlackBerry.

I have really, really tried to like iOS. I bought an iPhone back in 2011, and used it for almost two years until the Z10 was released. But I never enjoyed it and was always slower than I had been on my BlackBerry 9700 when it came to writing, both because of the VKB and more importantly due to the lack of precision in text editing functions. The only thing I preferred over BB07 was the Web browsing experience, though the lack of Flash support used to be very, very frustrating. I pretty much determined that glass slab phones were the problem, and that I'd need to stick with PKB devices.
Then, in 2013 I bought my first Z10 and experienced a huge change in perspective. I was able to type FASTER than I could on my 9700 due to the VKB auto complete, and editing was more precise, though never as good as on a PKB.
My life would be SO MUCH EASIER if I could use an iPhone as effortlessly as I can my BB10 phone, but, given that I was faster on my Z10 with a brand new OS after just a couple days, after using an iPhone for more than 20 months, I had to admit that I simply hate the iOS approach to almost every task. I find it counter-intuitive, clunky and just plain annoying.
This hasn't improved with later iOS versions either. I always keep the latest model iPad around for Web site testing, but I find I'd rather boot up my laptop, which can take several minutes to complete, than deal with the browser or email experience in iOS.
Sorry, let me stop before I go off the rails even more. Like I said, I wish iOS did it for me, because my life would be easier.
