This may not be such a good idea from Blackberry's perspective. The Blackberry is used by all government officials , bankers and executives almost everywhere. Given the recent exposure of Chinese government's hacking attempts , it would be a terrible idea for Blackberry's servers to fall under the control of Chinese government . I am aware that Lenovo makes excellent products with a spotless record of respecting consumer privacy --- but I am not willing to give them the access to all communication between key officials and executives of the world as I firmly believe that the temptation would be too great for the Chinese officials to resist.

- jychang 14y agoHe probably meant Nexus, as in from Google. I've confused that before.
- barry-cotter 14y agoIndeed, you are correct. I'll probably end up with a Note. My terrible, barely usable smartphone has me fully converted to the Church of the Phablet. And to the Sogou keyboard, which is superior to the stock Android keyboard. Why is the semicolon available in one click but not the apostrophe?
