After many, many years I'm considering jumping the BlackBerry ship. The app gap is finally getting to me. Did anyone here come from BlackBerry 10? I'm on a Z30 now and I'm wondering what the transition might be like.
Thanks.

I wonder if he made the switch or not....

I made the switch from my Blackberry Z10 to the Samsung Galaxy Note3 and all I can say is that I find myself doing the "Happy Dance" frequently.....SMILE.
I've been a die hard blackberry fan since the 9700 back in ...what..... 2009? Loved it. Loved the keyboard, loved the apps, loved the quality of hardware.
Had a 9900 after that, which, when I first got it, I was very impressed with. For about a month, where I quickly realised that it was a nifty little handset with a couple of extras, but for actual internet browsing and general facebooking etc it didn't hold a candle to my ipod touch. Thus began my habbit of carrying my trusty BB9900 around to use as a hotspot for my ipod, whilst having a cracking phone!
Roll on the announcement of the upcoming "android/apple-slaying" BB10. I was so ******* excited. Seriously man, nobody wanted the BB to succeed more than me. Always loved the underdog. Always loved the 'geekier' side of things.
I was an avid reader/contributor to the crackberry forums. I loved the speedy and personal responses from developers who wrote nifty little apps to run macros etc. But rather soon, it became painfully obvious that BB10 was never going to succeed. I had a few online battles D) with some of the BB-diehards over at crackberry who outright refused to believe that any other platform could outperform (or even match!) the awesome power of BB10.
Instagram? No. Google maps? No. Tom Tom ? No. Every popular/important app predictably received absol****inglutely zero interest in BB10. How did the diehards react? "Err.... we don't need instagram. We don't need xxxxxxxx". Bravo, ****tards, bravo. The public seemed to like to use these apps, and the general public decide on overall popularity.
Fast forward a few months and I finally get around to moving from my defunct bb9900 to a shiny new note 3. Oh sweet lord, what a difference. I'm so happy with this whole thing I could cry rivers.
Never, ever, ever, ever look back. What an utter pile of misguided dog****.

I always liked Blackberry but the writing was one the wall when my bank (Chase) decided not to support a BB app any more. I can get around a lot of things but my bank app is not one of them. You either have it or you don't. It was a sad day. I also ran into a similar problem with Windows Phone. I really like the OS but I was running into to many instances where either the app wasn't available or the one that was there, was limited in functionality. Again, very upsetting but I will NOT, repeat NOT, give into the Apple iPhone world. They have everything (apps and accessories) but they do NOT have originality or wow-factor any more and they bore me silly. I'm not saying it doesn't do what it does well but it's at a point where they don't even do some of the most basic things that other smart phones can do such as true multi-tasking, split screens, NFC (very big deal these days), etc although in all fairness, I did hear that some or all of these might be available with the next iPhone. Still, I find Apple oddly behind the power curve on things now. I now think Samsung and perhaps even Nokia are leading the innovative way.After many, many years I'm considering jumping the BlackBerry ship. The app gap is finally getting to me.
