Microsoft doesn't have a mature, robust or efficient OS. Also no where close to a legitimate comparison.
BB10 failed for one reason only... no one knew about it.
You can tell yourself whatever you want but facts are stubborn things.

Heck, I even heard an ad recently for a SONY TV powered by Android!!!

As another person wanting another smartphone- with an ecosystem....I really don't think we're going to see another BlackBerry 10. The next OS updates are mainly maintenance fixes. Still no app updates. So, even without an updated ecosystem that I keep hearing some say they could do without, the core apps may not get any update(s). So, to have another BB10 device without any even "incremental" updates, I could see the same ppl complaining - especially with minimal support from DEVs and not just BlackBerry for the OS. I also think even incomplete when the z10 launched, the BB10 OS was getting smoother and had potential......just too late to the market to be a factor as far as sales. Not trying to talk up or down the OS. BlackBerry made the hole deeper when most were saying it was due to all the bad reviews. While they didn't help BlackBerry, the bullseye is still on BlackBerry/Android to advertise- which was only one of many factors that didn't help sales. After spending time on a Priv, I like it......same as my z10, q10s, and z30. So, we'll see what happens.
Also, there's this: The Vienna
If the Priv and android is successful why would they release a BB10 device? BB10 failed. Just because we like it doesn't mean it makes any business sense for it to come back.
Hey, we're doing great with this new product, lets go ahead and re-release a product that failed and has zero support instead of making more devices with a successful OS/form.
Makes no business sense... We all would like a BB10 device but it's never going to happen.

So your logic.. "Timmy gets all the girls because he has red hair... I'm gonna dye my hair red like Timmy and watch the ladies flock to me"
Maybe Timmy gets girls because HE TALKS TO THEM... Blackberry sits in the corner alone. There is nothing they can do to bring in sales if people don't even know they still make devices.
Android is a stupid move as it gives up everything Blackberry had that made it stand apart from the crowd. You think Blackberry really offers something innovate enough on the hardware side to compete with the dozens of other Android OEMs? A keyboard... really? Its not like the devices are even made in house anyway.crackberry_geek and Zeratul57 like this.12-01-15 03:23 PMLike 2 - So your logic.. "Timmy gets all the girls because he has red hair...

Moving to Android is a last ditch effort for BB to stay in the hardware business. BB10 proved its limits as a comercial products and it was a failure at that (but it was an achievement from a technical standpoint).JeepBB and southlander like this.12-01-15 03:35 PMLike 2 - So your logic..

I like very BB10 but I'm using an iPhone because it couldn't fulfill my needs. 99.7% of smartphone users agree. Android at least gives them a chance that BB10 doesn't.JeepBB likes this.12-01-15 03:42 PMLike 1 - BB10 can't survive without making money. It can't make money without selling devices. It doesn't matter how great or different or innovative it is if it is a business failure.

It would be plausible if 99.7% of people had blackberry's or even had direct experiences with them since BB10 rolled out. It is Blackberry's responsibility to turn around consumer perception and promote their own product. Even going to android they are thinking its popularity can provide a free ride.. they are wrong and exhibiting almost no business sense.12-01-15 03:49 PMLike 3
- I think I just lost 15 minutes of my life that I'll probably never get back, reading through all this non-sense. And after all that I'm unsure now who the davil in question is. BlackBerry? Chen? Android? Google? Next thing you know, there will be cats and dogs living together. Babies playing with Sneks. And Bla1ze will be called out as a troll for not bringing home the bacon to Crackberry. All I hope for is that the twerp formally know as CBK doesn't come back to BlackBerry and keeps his hair cut.

Yeah, seeing CBKevin's on-stage haircut has to be one of the all-time most cringe-inducing videos.
Hopefully Bla1ze will keep his hat on!12-01-15 04:27 PMLike 0 - I think I just lost 15 minutes of my life that I'll probably never get back, reading through all this non-sense.

It has no obligation to turn around the phone business for you or anyone else. I understand why you want that to happen, but it won't. It is becoming a software business over time, plain and simple.12-02-15 11:30 AMLike 0

Such a shame Priv launched with Android, so buggy and Un professional, so afraid to downloads any app (which usually need all permissions). Difficult to access many thing and your productivity is gone! Yeah Android is good for gaming things.
DEVIL IS SUCCESSFUL AS USUAL!
