I still have my LG phone but will never use it again since having found BlackBerry. People should at least know that BlackBerry does have several full fledged touchscreen phones, and people can have most all the android apps they want now on BlackBerry if that is their thing.
A company treading water? It is still in a serious period of transition, but their phones are still better, simpler, more dependable, more secure than android phones as well as giving more, not less, freedom in what apps you have on your phone and what they can do. A very serious difference for those of us who do not have unlimited data plans. You dont have data sucking apps running all the time unless you stand up and say YES to them. I am not thrilled with the Amazon thing, which the latest update brought us, and i dont want very many android apps.
Since the brand has been pretty much blackballed through the US media, the phones are SERIOUSLY underpriced, so you really can have more for less.
I came here to browse bc i own my first android still, an optimus G pro, and came to see what the current headaches are with the updated phones. I see untenable issues and unanswered questions and i will breathe a quiet sigh of relief that i found out i really do (still) have a choice. I sure hope it continues.
Dont judge BlackBerry from a distance, check it out if you are interested in changing your phone or just trying one out as a second phone for fun ... or relief.
