Last model was a disappointment since it was android based.
Besides amazing keyboard, BlackBerryOS was just amazing piece of software, probably due to large RIM experience in real-time OSes. System had no lags whatsoever, everything was just working how it should be.
Miss it dearly.

- davidjytang 5y agoAt the time, I was developing apps for BB10, Android and iOS at the same time. BB10 felt very well designed compared to the other 2.
- rbanffy 5y agoQNX had been around since the 80’s. I’ve learned C on it. IIRC it also used some Qt tooling for UI description that helped a lot. It was a very neat toolset for native development. That and the fact it ran Android apps better than Android thanks to the QNX kernel made it a very appealing platform.
