Rapper Drake Still Rockin' the 9930

I like to write lyrics on my BB, they're tiny files and I like them periodically backed up to a safe native cloud where nobody else can get their hands on them.
Geek:
Here's how to access 10 terabytes from 10 different hard drives on a Q10.

So far I've been Legacy BBOS & BIS all the way. I never went for Protect (don't really want cloud), so I've always made backups three or four times a week with Desktop Software. Nothing wrong with that as far as I'm concerned. But that said, the Q10 appeals to me for the following reasons: BBM video calling, Skype, 4G/LTE, and this mentioned ability with Link to access my home laptop using a BlackBerry.01-23-14 04:14 PMLike 0

I'm not saying BBOS phones are more advanced, to the contrary, BB10 has more technologically advaned features like video calling, 4G etc. We're talking about a professional non-techie tho, so those things arent important.
If only BlackBerry kept the shortcuts, hard keys and trackpad with the new bb10 tech. . .

There may be one or two less key presses, but it doesn't matter if you find BBOS faster. It isn't.

You can open any app like this, along with many other things like videos, files, google searches, etc. It doesn't have to be assigned like on the 9900. The Q10 is faster inherently. If you were to open the same app using shortcuts on the Q and the 9900 side by side, the Q would win. The hardware improvements in the Q make up for the hundredths of a second difference between key presses.

'c' to compose would be amazing, "b" for browser, "m" for hub. If u want to search type 's' first and then search. All like it used to be on bbos. I find it hard to believe people use search more than opening an app, composing a msg or opening the hub. Seriously.
I'm not too upset at the moment because this can all be implemented into bb10 and I think it will. Additional keyboard shortcuts within core apps needs to come back, like controllling the music player. Also would be cool to have new ones like using the "space" bar to hang up a call. Touching glass doesnt provide any tactile feedback for confirmation that a request was input. This is critical for any input into a computer.
Posted via CB1001-24-14 02:09 AMLike 0 - The point is to avoid using the touchscreen at all. That is the step that makes it cumbersome. If I could type "bbm" and hit enter to open it, it would be okay, but then why not just type "n" to open it. Way faster. In fact, the fastest way possible.

Now here's what I don't get. How is BB10 type-n-go any better than Universal Search? How is it better, faster, or more efficient to have to type "bbm ken" or "call ken" when on BBOS all I have to do is type "ken," click on his contact, and there is every option selectable right in front of me in his contact?01-24-14 07:19 AMLike 0 - I'll just speak for myself then. Coming from a legacy device with keyboard shortcuts and Universal Search, I think BB10 does a great job with the keyboard shortcuts. All of the ones that I used are here. I personally don't see any that are missing. They even added gesture shortcuts for good measure! Opening an app with 1 letter vs 3 is different, but I don't consider that a deal breaker. It's just different.
For the record, with type and go, if your selection is highlighted after you start typing you don't have to touch the screen. Pressing "enter" opens the app/contact/whatever
Also, if you type "ken" on your Q10 and press enter, all of the actionable selections (call, text, email) are there. You don't have to type "call ken," "text ken," etc.
Now, time for everybody to listen to some Drake
