In that case you must trust Blackberry 100%. There are opensource apps without restrictive permissions.

BlackBerry Passport. And BlackBerry Classic. It's difficult to decide between the two and I shift between Passport and Classic depending on my mood. It's easy to migrate the BBM chats to a new device in a jiffy.
Androids are a rage but you must realise that they are tracking devices. Have you ever even tried a new BlackBerry? I am critically dependent on BlackBerry Blend that allows me to log in to my device from the same wifi connection on my laptop. It's easy to work on the files using secure encrypted channels. Brilliant. I am getting the BBM encrypted chats (just for the fun) that adds triple layer of encryption. Way better than the run of the mill apps which have no FIPS certification- endorsed by Department of Defence in the US. If its secure for them, I am happy with it. Needless to add, it runs Android way better than Android smartphones by themselves- its because it's free of the bloatware and utilises the CPU cores more effectively. It's easy to load up SNAP (the Google Play Store) and access to every Android app on Google Play. Amazon is also preloaded but I avoid. Native apps on BlackBerry are far better than Android bloatware with far more granular permissions than otherwise. Its a pity that most of the users here haven't seen the power of multi-tasking that BlackBerry offers. Hub is one of the most powerful features- it's much a lifestream- all emails and texts/ chat messages are viewable from a central location. As BBM becomes more open with cross platform applications, it's worthwhile. I could go on and on about its wonderful qualities but anyone having their contracts towards the end, should strongly consider looking up BlackBerry. |

I have a Nexus 5.
I was a former Blackberry user who jumped ship when Blackberry started going down. The only thing holding me back is the apps (or lack there of on the Blackberry. There are some Canon apps that allow me to connect my dslr to my phone and they only make them for Android and soon to be iOS. |
