Another security question I have is protection from advertisement tracking. Android by default collects everything about you and sells it to advertisers. Having security against that is very important imo.

[@VeraHars]

I have always had BBs except for a NEC Terrain before the first android BB came out. My PrRIV died due to battery failure. My current Key2 is not quite two years old and the battery died in it twice in that many years. Last year it was still under warranty and I had to send it Miami to have a new battery installed. It took three weeks to get it back, and last week the new battery failed again. This time UbreakIfix oredered and instelled a new battery, but now it doesn't recognize the SIM card that used to be in it. T-mobile can't help with the issue, nobody can. You are absolutely correct, the new BB has to be all you have listed in this video. Thanks

[@devp3039]

I really love the way that they implemented the BB software into Android on the Key series phones. BB Hub is one of my favorite features and DTEK is great. I really hope the new OnwardMobility phone keeps these features.

[@joshualebowitz]

It is incredibly frustrating to be a BlackBerry user for over 20 years and watch them do such a poor job in recent years.

[@HeroZero7877]

I used to own a BB Playbook with my BB. When BB10 failed to deliver to the BB Playbook, I knew it was the beginning of their downfall because it was like them to not deliver on their promises to it’s base. Sucks too because I took my Playbook to the aquarium one afternoon, and people were shocked by it and loved the UI and how QNX worked. I really hate that BB simply gave up. -BB sold some proprietary to Huawei, so no I don’t think BB can honestly say they will be secure ever again. -BBM could have become a very real competitor to iMessage but that’s dead. No one actually care about the enterprise version except those who work at BB HQ. Results are Android Messages which isn’t secure with RCS and that’s a “Google problem.” *I remember a time when my BBM was working perfectly fine and everyone around me couldn’t send a text. That’s how advanced BBM was and what it could have been. -Dead-on with the OS not being fully secure as it’s Android. I’m also not saying Apple is better but AT LEAST iOS 14.5 allows better privacy. -The worst part is gonna be the fact that the phone will probably have a short life expectancy while also being overly expensive… --OS upgrade for two years (if you’re lucky…) --Security updates for three years While not necessarily a “Google problem” it is a “component problem” since it’s components are mostly driving the security updates only because it wants to sell more ckt boards, processors, etc… as it’s all wrapped up into the monthly security updates. -Then there is the “OEM UI” on top of Android that just adds more security problems, update delays, compatibility issues, certification issues, licensing agreements, etc… along with the fact that most of the “Google edition” apps, like it’s camera app, probably will not be available. I just don’t know man. I’m worried BB will never be what it used be much less what it could have been, but I’m trying to remain hopeful that OnwardMobility pulls some sort of miracle and shocks the world.

I don't think John Chen has done a bad job keeping BlackBerry alive. But unfortunately he couldn't save the handset division. The board of directors and shareholders wanted someone who could save the company and be did, but it doesnt look like it used to. BlackBerry phones and BES were a failing model because the market changed and they pivoted into a security services company to survive and stay relevant into the future but it meant they had to quit making phones. Many people thought that BlackBerry would have been out of business years ago but they are still here. Thankfully they are licensing out the brand for someone else to make phones but still, it's very difficult to be happy with as someone who loves the brand and the phones. We will have to look and see what happens moving forward.

@@leminhhai6008 I hear you, but when your sh!t in the face again and again. You have to reconsider your ideas, even if it's not what you'd want. Being a BlackBerry fan is like following a fallen nation. We don't have to move out, but we can not say that we trust it honestly. For me I love BlackBerry and always will, I will keep patronizing them where I can and where it is safe to do so. But I can't "trust" them due to their messy history. That's my story.

@@TechOdyssey it's sad that Google is becoming the default operating system besides apple for consumers. . Why aren't they getting sued for a duopoly. There is still Linux, Microstoft, Titan OS and others out there.
