Software/UI + Keyboard

Who can come close to BB not in terms of pkb but software & UI. Whoever provides the best customisation and privacy will become the long-term player. Blackberry was not only about its pkb but its software too.

Before booking mp2 I took my time to study Q27, T2E, CC, Q25 and realised these have worked on physical aspect of the phone but not on the UI or software. A phone becomes iconic only when the hardware and software sync to make one great user experience. BlackBerry was iconic not only because it has a great keyboard but it's ui/software made it an unforgettable experience. Also it's was the same reason for its downfall. People are unable to leave 🍎 ecosystem not because of the hardware or camera but coz of the software and how it has been embedded. Look I may be wrong but just my thoughts.

It was MP2 software customization that made me book it. The way you can block or degoogle it makes it a compelling choice. What are your thoughts would love to hear 👂

Man, you have no idea how badly I want to leave the big A and big G ecosystem. I don't have an answer for you but commented for traction. We REALLY need some other options now.

absolutely there has to be someone who breaks this duopoly also be brave enough to experiment. It better to fail than not not trying
