No New BB10 Devices What Are We Going To Do Guys

- I do, but not the "coming back" part. I have stated, and have the posting history to show it, that I do think at least one more BB10 handset will be built (in my opinion, most likely the Classic 2; maybe Passport 2). And to add, that this phone is likely to arrive in 2017.
iirc, you and I, and at least three others in this thread, have gone back and forth over this. I have been told that I am foolish, but yeah, I believe this. Mostly because it will not be a consumer's handset and as such will not require top specs or a large production run.01-08-16 04:45 PMLike 0 - I do, but not the "coming back" part.

- I just got a lumia 950xl and this thing is awesome. Windows 10 mobile is refreshing and has a lot of solid features built in.01-08-16 07:31 PMLike 3

You can argue that you aren't among them, and I have no evidence otherwise, but you can't argue that no one who meets this description exists as BB10 fans, because these forums are full of examples.01-08-16 08:24 PMLike 4 - Why iPhone? iOS 9 has many features that never make it to the reviews (because you know, iPhone reviews are akin to Android handset reviews: build quality, speed, and camera being the focus), and features that I would imagine would appeal to BB10 users way more than anything Android.01-08-16 08:31 PMLike 0
- Spot on. A lot of BB10 fans are inherently contrarian people in the first place - which is why they owned non-mainstream products before BB10 and why they plan to move to WinPhone or Tizen or some other micro-niche rather than iOS or Android. These people simply avoid anything mainstream - often because they think they are smarter than everyone else and/or that "mainstream" users are always "dumb sheep".

And there is still a lot depth missing from the OS when you compare it to OS7.
I returned my Z10 within the first week of owning it, like hundreds of thousands of other people did..
If the OS had been developed to the point of 10.2.1 when it was released, I believe that we wouldn't be seeing the demise of the platform.
And perhaps releasing the Q10 with the Z10 might have helped as well with the transition factor.01-09-16 12:30 AMLike 0 - When I bought my Bold 9900, I hought the same thing as well.

These people simply avoid anything mainstream - often because they think they are smarter than everyone else and/or that "mainstream" users are always "dumb sheep". They also are attracted to the drama that comes with niche products - the cycle of joy in discovering something new and unique, followed by the tension of wondering if it will last, and eventually the anger when it eventually fails - or worse, eventually becomes mainstream.
They're also the ones constantly talking about "loyal users" and "loyal supporters", as if loyalty, perceived or real, is more important than mainstream success or profits (to almost any company, it isn't). I've definitely seen this before in other areas besides the smartphone world.
It cost me $850.00 USD. Which was and still is a lot of bank for a phone.
I owned it for 6 years and never had a problem with that phone. Not once.
It was fast to use, as well as a pkb, and a touch screen, had apps that were useful and cool functions that I needed.
I could draw a sketch of a plot plan on that phone, color code it and mms it to an architect and we could have a discussion about the project.
The camera was also very good (for the times).
And to my knowledge, when I bought it in 2004, it was the only phone that had internet. Although, it was so slow as to be relatively useless.
I still miss that phone. It was super productive for me.
Everyone else had those big wide BlackBerry's or BlackBerry/Nextels for email or Nokias.
Those were the mainstream phones.
By the time my P900 finally died everywhere I looked, everyone seemed to own a BlackBerry or an iPhone.
BlackBerry was the mainstream phone, esp. for businesses.
And BlackBerry was the best phone for business users when I switched to that platform. I didn't want to like the Bold, but I was very impressed with it. And I still am.01-09-16 01:19 AMLike 0 - If Blackberry decide to shutdown best ever mobile OS - Blackberry OS 10 - I PROMISE THAT I WILL NEVER BUY BLACKBERRY DEVICE EVER EVER AGAIN!
Why would I?
If I want to use Android I have lot of cheap but great specs devices from China - LeTV 1S, Meizu Metal, Xiaomi Redmi Note 3
Look at AliExpress.com - Online Shopping for Electronics, Fashion, Home & Garden, Toys & Sports, Automobiles from China. . Each of these three devices with superb hardware specs costs from $160-$200
Why would I pay for Blackberry Priv - 3 times more???
Lets compare these two devices
http://www.gsmarena.com/compare.php3...&idPhone2=7587
Almost same specs but Xiami Redmi Note3 costs 3 times less!
At least!
If Blackberry decide to kill BB OS 10 and switch to Android, it will be killed and destroyed by cheap China competition.

I can buy LeTV 1S at aliexpress for $200 . With customs charges and shipping it wont cost me more than $300.
Blackberry Priv costs in my country more than $1000 - thats more than 3 times more...

If BB released a Classic 2, or even a Passport 2 with limited changes (faster processor maybe?) but continued with the current Android RT, I suspect Google would turn a blind-eye to the OHA-busting "selling a GPS Android product alongside a forked Android product" aspect, which would probably be marketed by BB as "legacy support" and everyone would pretend to believe that.
Sales of the "new" BB10 phone are unlikely to materially affect Google where it would matter - market-share - so, they might not care.
Any really "new" BB10 phone though... and I think Google wouldn't be at all happy, and would IMO react.kbz1960 likes this.01-09-16 06:24 AMLike 1 - Actually we can purchase the passport, the classic and the Leap, a pity we can not get longer a Z30.

Otherwise, Samsung, Sony, or Apple wouldn't be selling anything.01-09-16 07:37 AMLike 0 - Why is everyone in such a flap over bb10 devices. If the division folds and no more bb10 handsets are built, then when this passport dies, I'll buy another phone. It's not rocket science.
