9900 Resurgence of popularity

I can't help but feel that there is a slight iOS9 feel to OS7 (i also have an iPhone, it just seems similar in some ways) the native twitter and facebook on OS7 are so much better, i dreaded using twitter on my Q10 because it just made the phone get overheated and lose 10% battery just to open the app to send out a tweet or two. I really think if blackberry had invested more money on the OS7 they could have brought Instagram and other apps that the iphone and android users can't live without. A native Instagram app would have been incredible i think. There are many ways that this Bold 9900 is better than the Q10, lets talk about the web browser for a second, why is the 9900 with a smaller screen much better to browse with than the Q10? and overall the e-mails are also better to read to. I took the advice of one user in this thread about not updating the facebook app and it does work like normal and is also better than the BB10 app.
If anyone has an idea about whats going on with the Viber app that gives me a message that says "your number is not valid, try again" when trying to activate my number? this actually happened with the desktop app too, are Viber experiencing issues?

For Viber try this :
Remove Sim from Bold and place into another phone.
Start phone. ( without active Viber account )
Now start the Bold and open the Viber app.
Have Viber send the code to the other phone with the Sim , take note of code.
Re-insert the Sim into Bold & start
Input the code into the Bold.
Check if it works.
