latest and greatest new phone from those innovators in waterloo

build what you know.

also, tbf, the people who still want a BB want exactly that. they tried "innovation" with the z series, and look where that got them.

also blackberry deathwatch sounds like an iwatch competitor with a horrible failure mode.

I am guessing that Blackberry OS 10 users could also soon gain access to the full iTunes App store as well with Apple CarPlay coming out which runs onto Blackberry OS in the automobile market.

..oh, he's guessing. no way.

i thought apple was on the cusp of collapsing before the might of BB's market relevance and opening the gates to the app store, which would run natively on this completely different platform because blackberry is magic as long as you believe

the ui is still incomprehensible gibberish though. with such amazingly intuitive and discoverable gestures as swipe an upside down backwards "L" starting from off the screen to go to the bb hub! if you start the swipe from on the screen it does something else

and half the menus are hidden and can only be brought up by hitting the bb key, or sometimes by selecting the element on screen and hitting the select button. it's never the same thing in two different screens!

also you need some context

toronto is the most multicultural city in canada, the population is over 50% immigrants

when people outside of toronto say they hate toronto, it's actually because they're racist hicks and hate dem furriners
