While being bleeding edge isn't critical to me, I guess I felt that there was the chance that it would just get "stuck" like other phones do.
#Facebook session expired issue blackberry z10 full version#
My biggest complaint was, at the time coming from a Google Pixel XL, that it was at least one full version behind on Android. It was actually a very capable phone as far as the hardware was concerned. Blackberry finally got those apps when it gave up being an OS vendor and switched to Android in 2015 with the BlackBerry Priv, but that device was an expensive, poorly built device with a cramped, shallow hardware keyboard, and at that point, you might as well just buy any other Android phone. The company's first actual answer to iOS and Android came when it launched the BlackBerry 10 OS in 2013, along with the BlackBerry Z10. By then, Apple's and Google's app ecosystems had fully taken hold The Duopoly had apps, and Blackberry 10 did not. The company tried reworking its existing OS into an all-touch smartphone called the "BlackBerry Storm" in 2008, but this was only a quick-fix solution based on an aging OS.
The company's physical QWERTY keyboards and its focus on push messaging made Blackberry devices a favorite of communication-obsessed business-types, and today's worries about being addicted to smartphone notifications can be traced back to the days when executives just couldn't stop obsessively checking their "CrackBerries." Then the iPhone came along and changed everything, telling people they didn't need all those hardware buttons and that more versatile touchscreens with software keyboards were the future.īlackBerry never really came up with an answer for Apple's upending of the mobile market, stumbling from one "too little, too late" offering to the next.
BlackBerry-back when the company was called "Research in Motion (RIM)"-was a mobile powerhouse in the early 2000s.
