In your opinion, should blackberry focus on android and forget bb10 ?
I don't know if it's the best subforum here but i'll ask my question.
If you were John Chen, would you step up your efforts in promoting android by BlackBerry or would you try to save BBOS10 ?
The priv is a great device but it runs android. Android is not as good as BB10 but blackberry improved it.
I think bb10 is dead. It is declining and it won't make it threw the 2020's. And you ?

Blackberry still has contractual agreements to support OS10 for the government and enterprise folks who bought into using it and are not going to run out and buy new devices to change platforms. I think if they expect to survive in the consumer device market in the long term, Android OS is the only option they have as this point.
The bar has already been set and Android and IOS are the new kings on the block and have embedded themselves into the mainstream culture. Even Microsoft with all their capital and resources could not make a dent in the market with Window mobile.
The biggest issue I have seen here in the USA is the brand has all but been forgotten about and the way that T-Mobile is marketing the new Priv, they don't have a chance of making any sort of comeback here.
The sales folks here are all geared towards the iPhone and Galaxy devices and the T-Mobile stores I have been to have the shiny new Priv mixed in with last years devices and some stores don't even have demo units and/or devices in stock they could sell you even if you did want to buy one.
This all goes back to Blackberry, no marketing or advertising, the product is set to fail here, sad, but thats just the reality of the current situation folks.
