I'm not afraid to admit, I'm a BlackBerry fan. But I also admit that BlackBerry is basically a sinking ship right now. So to touch up on a thread I started on CrackBerry ( http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-10-os-f269/would-you-have-been-interested-blackberry-made-android-device-839031/ ), I ask: would you have purchased an Android-powered BlackBerry device? You can already guess how that went 
I know a lot of you might scream blasphemy but whatever. I think THAT would have been a better option for BlackBerry than building a brand new OS. An Android device with a custom UI modeled after BlackBerry 10 much like what TouchWiz is for Galaxy devices, it might've done well but we may never know, Android might've saved BlackBerry a long time ago. An already diverse app ecosystem and the freedom to make the customizations you want. BlackBerrys have always been hated for lack of quality and feature rich apps, and BBOS really didn't help either. But we already know whats going on with BlackBerry so I guess its just wishful thinking. Here's to the many good years I had with BlackBerry.
