  QNX was the real-time OS they sold for embedded devices. Modern BB phones used BB11 OS. It had Android emulation but obviously no play store or google services so they had to abandon it. Android BB phones were still great but obviously not enough people cared.

    The Android phones were rubbish.

    There was no os11. There was bbx/bb10

      You’re right, they finished at 10.

      I liked the Android phones. The hub was still nicely integrated, the hardware keyboard had good features. The main problem was that they were expensive and hard to get.

        I had a few, not hard to get.

        Hub was a good idea but they didn’t keep up with modern enterprise security features.

        The hardware was below BlackBerry’s average, especially coming from a bb10 device like the passport.
