firmware updates and security patches that oftentimes fixes bugs so there you have it okay anyways thanks once again.

Looks like Nexus 4 for me, Blackberry Team has to think for the competition and have to develop design accordingly. Newer companies started coming with millions of handsets these days ..... Huawei, Xiaomi, XOLO and etc

http:... more> Android is open in nature which has its benefits as well as concerns.
No. There are perfectly open systems where security is not a concern. See OpenBSD, LibreSSL, OpenSSH, etc.
Stop spreading this drivel. Being open has no correlation with being secure.

Android is open in nature which has its benefits as well as concerns.
The concern with Android is directly related with its openness which makes it easy for anyone to break into.

BBDTEK50, 17 Oct 2016Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus,... moreWhy BlackBerry’s Android is Best for Security and Privacy
One of the complaints about Android has been fragmentation, which applies to security as well as user experience. Today, there are lots of small companies offering “hardened” Android implementations that purport to offer enhanced security and privacy. Unfortunately for buyers, there does not exist today an independent means to evaluate vendor security claims in any scientific way. It comes down to: whom do you trust?
At BlackBerry, we avoid denigrating other people’s products or making misleading comparisons. We would rather explain the technical details of our solution and allow buyers to judge based on those details as well as past performance of delivering on our claims.
Indeed, with daily breaches of personal information and a widespread media focus on the debate between encryption and lawful access, it has become fashionable for consumer tech companies to claim unwavering support for your privacy. Your trust is not something that can be cajoled with an essay or bought with advertising dollars; it must be earned over time, by a steadfast dedication to and successful track record in protecting your information while it is under the supervision of our devices, applications, and cloud.

Anonym, 16 Oct 2016What is your price on security?Google throws nearly a billion Android users under the bus, refuses to patch OS vulnerability
When it comes to providing security updates for previous products, various manufacturers have pursued different strategies. Some, like Microsoft, tend to provide security updates long after they’ve stopped selling an operating system (Microsoft only stopped providing Windows XP support last year). Others, like Google and Apple, have pursued tighter timelines for security updates. Google is now doubling down on that schedule, refusing to patch bugs in Android 4.3 or prior, even when those bugs could expose critical vulnerabilities on nearly a billion devices.

Regardless it will be more secure than any other device out there that hasn't had the updates. Plus the DTEK and Priv can't be rooted. No other android device can claim that.
