Tried to respond to some comments on here, but for some reason they are bein blocked. Is "BlackBerry" a dirty word here?
What, for randomly rebooting phones, double letter typing phones, no ecosystem, OS updates delayed through carriers so you have to load leaks that wreak havoc with your device, contacts lists multiplying like overly amorous Tribbles, resorting to loading up on another platform's unsupported apps?
No thanks.....

No. Blackberry is not a dirty word here at iMore. In fact, many of us are former Blackberry users, myself included. Anyway, Please note that iMore has security measures in place to "randomly" select posts to be placed in moderation (subject to review by our moderators) for a limited time in an effort to protect our members and the integrity of the forums. That is why some of your posts were not immediately available for viewing. Anyway, take care and enjoy the rest of your evening...

My Z10 rebooted constantly on 10.0. It stopped for s while after 10.1. However, it began again after a few months. This rebooting issue is well documented in Crackberry. I never got a Z30 because it was never launched on AT&T.Not sure what your are on about?
1) my Z10 & now Z 30 have never had rebooting issues
It happened to my Q10 and it is s well documented issue on Crackberry.2) double letter typing? Never had this issue either.
No native cloud services and a nearly abandoned BBW, an abandoned tablet, no desktop integration, a dysfunctional desktop manager, no media family sharing manager.3) no ecosystem? What, you mean like being locked into Apple? Rofl
OS updates take months to come through the carriers. The only option to resolve problems like bricking, nuking, and rebooting is to get either leaked OSs or official OSs from other carriers which means a desktop install. There is no uniformity of OS so it is a search for what may or may not resolve a specific OS problem, often finding that while one problem is fixed another takes its place.4) OS updates? Mine have been available OTA as soon as released by Blackberry, I don't load leaks, no need as I am patient enough to wait for official release. Although good that the option is there, can you do that with an Apple that isn't jail broken?
It is a constant issue which I've dealt with on both my Q10 and my Z10 and is also well documented on Crackberry.5) contact list duplicating? Maybe for some but I only sync with my hotmail account, so no issues here.
Android apps are available for Blackberry in the Amazon Appstore and the vast majority are not optimised for BlackBerry devices. Additionally, I have not read of an official statement from Android developers or Google that they will support the apps in the Amazon Appstore so those who load them find, as I did, that they are laggy, old versions of those that are in the Play Store. Additionally Google Play Services are not supported for BlackBerry. Additionally, in view of old, buggy, laggy Amazon AppStore apps, users resort to lifting APKs to load on Blackberry devices, also unsupported by Android devs or Google.6) unsupported apps? If you are referring to Amazon App Store, is it not supported? Great to have an additional App Store for those that require it, personally, I stick with native Blackberry apps.
Seems to me you have given Blackberry the flick! But sincerely hope you are happy with your new phone, personally I can't wait to get my hands on the Passport!

Well anyone who wishes to purchase a Passport, there's a sale. Half price.

I won't be buying one though. I will stick with Apple products. They work for me regardless what negative perceptions there might be from other platforms' users.

I have a Z30. I'm looking at Apple products now. Doing some homework to see if it what I need.

Be brutally honest with yourself about what your needs and wants are. Then seek out the platform that offers it.

Oh how adorable!
You REALLY don't want to get into a phone contest with Q. I'd hazard she's owned more BBs than you.
The issues you are pooh poohing are legit. My two bb10 devices did it. And I owned a storm, so don't even.
Exactly!!! Maybe you can help me out. I'm looking for something that works every time. Simple to use and apps that work.

Thanks for the heads up! Please don't be offended with what I've said. Sorry to hear you have had so much trouble with your Blackberry, but I can honestly say I am totally happy with all the Blackberry phones that I've owned over the last 10 or so years and continue to be impressed with where they are going.
You did mention the lack of desktop support? Have you seen Blend? Not only a desktop version, but compatible across ALL devices.
As for the Playbook, I agree in part. Yes they did abandon it, but I believe it was the stepping stone to the current OS, BB10. I still use my Playbook daily, and in some ways believe it is as good if not better than my iPad.
Like I said previously, each to their own, but it is great for competition that each manufacturer is constantly trying to beat/stay ahead of each other as this makes us, the consumer, the real winners here with some fantastic technology coming out these days.
Am I the only person who thinks that U2 album was good? And I don't even like U2 but I like that first song
I liked it too! I still can't believe people were offended by it. I get that some people don't like the music, but then just don't listen to it.
