dear friends ,
since the beginning of the smartphone era , i have been an Apple / blackberry user through out ,
kept iPhone 3g , 3gs in the early days , got TIRED of apple's manipulative and controlling behavior , plus the cat& mouse game of jail breaking and unlocking .
shifted to Blackberry 5 years past , and never had to look back ......
i have never ever owned an android ,
now recently , BB released this completely new OS , BB10 , and soon after that , there were news in the market that blackberry might shut down its operations in around a year , they were even thinking to break BB in pieces and sell them separately ...
now the question is , Do you people think , that it would be a wise idea . to depend upon the BB eco system ?
while being aware of the fact that the company might not produce BB OS 7 based devices any more .
and BB OS 10 , is lacking all the features of precise customization , that BB OS 7 offered ..
my top priority is security , the data in the phone should be open to encryption , and the platform shall be tight enough not to let malware in .
so what should a long term blackberry user should do at this point ...
1. stick to blackberry ( with hope hat they will bring back all the missing features from the OS 7 ) and the company would survive .
2. switch to apple .
3. switch to android .
i really need the experts to spill of their knowledge here on this issue , so add thing i or any other long term BB users have missed out .
