(I know there's an article about an LG on W10 somewhere) But I still have to hand it to LG as it has been my earlier desire to see them integrate a model with back buttons injected with W10

          This will mean iPhone sales will go up even more.

          Once they move their hub to multi-platform there will be no need for blackberry handsets other than for corporate customers. The benefit to consumers is neglible.

            I do like BlackBerry 10 os. It give great experience and I really like its gestures and the hub.

            It would be better tho, if you make a move to Windows 10 mobile, not the android.

            How many of you guys wanna see BlackBerry with Windows 10 mobile os?

                    I think the strategy is to have an android running device and get some share of the market and generate revenue on the handset business which has been declining and when chen was asked a month ago about apps gap on BB10, his reply was we are working on something special. I guess that would be to have google app store and full google play services on an updated android run time. So works both ways! I would say it would be a wise move.

                          It would be cool if BlackBerry could team up with ZTE, BLU, Alcatel, and Pantech to make a series of Sliders and QWERTY Flips (LG Lotus, BlackBerry Pearl Flip) using BBOS 10.1? I feel like expansion would help their business quota.

                                        Smart move by BB. Going multi platform is a good strategy for sustainability and leveraging on the strengths of both platforms, BB can have a decent proposition or product.

                                        For those saying that BB should go for windows, its a stup*d comment and what value would this add as Microsoft is begging for having its services on Android devices. Please stop saying silly things about security and malware...blablabla.. As apparently its just an excuse used against mighty Google/Android. Check the Enterprise Market share for Mobility and Android is leading in many areas.
