09 October, 2015
That was a surprise, but it's not a small device as it weighed a bit more than the Galaxy Note5.

I am there with the first smartphone of my life since the debut of Windows 8.But no competing device in the midrange is forcing me to make a switch.Now considering OP2& Honor7.

Even with Lolipop it is ultra responsive, with almost no slowdown or freezes than my former and otherwise excellent Note 4. Android is getting lighter and faster because Google (unlike Apple) are optimising it for lower powered devices. Agreed that Windows Mobile is also snappy but IMHO the UX is a pain.

And there's more mobile phones than people. Most of them don't care about the iPhone.

Newsflash - they aren't jealous, they are annoyed and/or amused.

                                Yes adopting to Android is the key to success as it adapt to today's & future technology but tricky as how not to let BB OS runs dead. But the dumb CEO went to make a statement they will consider to stop hardware and focus on software if the hardware division don't profit in a year. Who the hell dares to invest and buy one as the after-sales might stands a great chance of being cut off. The confidence level is already low, with this it's all the way to the drain. Barely see the future of BB now. The focus on enterprise software security should still be their key for survivor.

BlackBerry users are professional people that only care about functionality efficiency and security. So, with that said, I will remind everybody that BlackBerry has the most secure OS by mile over iPhone and left android stalled in the paddock. I will reiterate your thoughts. It's sad that BlackBerry is making this move with Priv. And the rest of them can keep on drinking the kool-aid! Hahaha
