When they abandoned the Playbook, they lost the fight.
I wouldn't buy Blackberry unless all the management is replaced.

Really? I have a friend that has it (has 4S previously), he showed it to me and it was pretty impressive.Originally Posted by InfamousCDN
I have a z10 and I don't mind it. It does some weird things that my iphone never did, but hey it makes for an interesting experience everyday.
They should turn into a hardware company and help push Windows Phone like Nokia did. I love my Lumia 920 but wouldn't mind another top notch hardware builder to choose from for my next Windows Phone

Yea I've only tried it quickly but gestures and smoothness/optimization plus Android apps compatibility is what makes it stand out to me.Originally Posted by Puck
BB10 is a REALLY good OS and I would hate for them to dump it for Android...although better integration with Droid apps would be great so I don't have to manually convert and sideload them. Z10 with Google Playstore access is the Ultimate smartphone IMO!

most people buy Blackberries for the BB10 OS. the hardware is subpar, esp. the camera. it also looks so similar to an iphone.

I haven't had a BB10 device in my hand or read anything on them for that matter. In previous years I remember them dishing out some solid hardware so I assumed that hadn't changed.Originally Posted by james8

But I completely agree. If bb enters android, or even windows, support for office 365, and bring their security and unique phone design to either platform, they'll be back in the game for all fronts again. Might need to improve their name because I wouldn't be surprised most people think bb to be a "business phone "

Switch. To. Android.
They're already making BBM cross platform, and have spent considerable effort getting Android apps to run in BBOS. They need to face the facts and accept that they can't go it alone anymore. They're doing poorly even in Canada, where people buy Blackberries simply because they're Canadian.
I think a foray into the Android ecosystem would be the most profitable thing to happen to them since Apple released the iPhone. They make phones that focus on the two things Android is currently lacking: enterprise security and physical keyboards.
Android 4.3 supports SELinux, so they could use that as a base and make the most business friendly smartphone on the market.
And the last real Android smartphone with a physical keyboard was the DROID 4, which wasn't even that great. A Q10 running Android would fly off the shelves.

Well "only decent"? I don't see why you would want more power than that I mean it's a phone not a desktop workstation.Originally Posted by Puck
Since the OS is custom made for that exact hardware though, and doesn't have to work on thousands of different phones, the Z10 is remarkably smooth and lag free for its only "decent" stats (1.5ghz dual core, 2GB Ram, 1280x768 screen).
