Would you buy a BlackBerry if it's running Android?

[LuxuryTouringZone]

Nope! I like Android, but I prefer BB10 on Blackberry devices.

I believe the Priv will be my next device when I am due for an upgrade soon.

Love Android apps and widgets. But I also loved my BlackBerry keyboard and hub.

For me this would seem like the best of both worlds. Curious to see more leaks and videos of this device running android and how they will handle the hub like others have mentioned.

This is how I feel about the Priv.
I am also growing very tired of my Note's cappy phone reception and dropped calls. A new and disappointing experience for this once long time BB user.

That was one thing all my BlackBerry phones had without a question. Excellent reception.

I hear you guys on crackberry!

Depends if certain Android functionality is stripped away like Google Services. I'm also worried about customization being limited due to "security concerns", as I want to use Android widgets and the like.

They lost me at $750, and Android 5.1.1 with only 32gb storage. For that price it should have 64gb or better. I pissed off a lot of people over at Crackberry when I pointed this out. It should have been around $500 and then maybe some of the hipsters would buy them. My kids call Blackberry's "Old People's Phones". BB needs to get the kids interested again to start succeeding. It had such promise, and I was really, really very excited till I found out the price. Oh, well, the new HTC A9 will do me well. Maybe BB will place Android in a Classic body..... for $399 or less. I really, really want BB to succeed, but they keep making mistakes. The two BB 9700's I had were great, but both broke in less than a year, with the keyboards no longer working even with the phone in an otterbox, and leather pouch carrier. Loved the physical keyboard.

I was a crackberry advocate for the longest and they continued to disappoint in timelines to delivering products and simply not keeping to their promises. It no longer interest me to have high blood pressure or being massively disappointed time and time again. Honestly, this device on paper ticks all the right boxes but I am sure BB will do something to **** off those who choose to wait. My upgrade date is today and I've ordered a G4 and a mircro SD card.

I would have to say no. I have ventured out of Android and was always sad after the fact.

It runs Android.

 

[Almeuit]

It runs Android.

This is true but still no. I do not like BB -- nor do I like their phones.

Like any other phone I go by features, specs, price, and reviews. If it has everything I want (great battery life, huge battery, fast processor, at least 3 gb ram, removable sd card, great bright screen, wireless charging, fast charging, multicolor led notifier, loud clear front facing speakers, HDMI connectivity etc) then I will buy it.

Never had any interest in a CrapBerry and I still don't and I won't start now...sorry.

 

[medic22003]

Lol funny. Yours get called crap Droid on other forums. I sometimes wonder how many people that use those terms have used the os they are calling crap for more than a couple days

Just did. Love it.

I certainly plan on going to a PRIV from my Z10. A year ago, would never have thought it possible but here we are. I've always known I'd go Android once BB10 reached end of life... having a BlackBerry branded handset running Android is a nice way to transition over. We'll see what comes of this in the long run.
