Otherwise, my Q10 is far and away the best phone I've used. Going back to my iPhone 5 (which I've recently sold) is like using a toy. It's so limited and frustrating (say, playing a youtube song in the background--not possible).
You're the second person on CrqckBerry to bring up the playing songs on YouTube. That is so strange to me! YouTube is for videos! Why would Apple make the back grounding audio API's available to a streaming video app?! That's just crazy! ANY music app will play in the background, but people that use mobile YouTube to listen to music is obviously an edge case.

Also, QNX by itself won't save blackberry. QNX licensed their firmware to cars (and everything else) for years before blackberry bought them. Those licenses cost pennies. RIM payed a couple hundred million for QNX. Unless they do something BIG with it, (that DOESN'T require people to buy BBRY phones. Because that just isn't happening) QNX is pretty meaningless to BBRY's long-term survival, as things stand.
