When BlackBerry itself is no longer focusing on its native operating system, well, who can blame WhatsApp for ditching it?

24. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

It's not just BlackBerry's OS it's ditching.

7. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

Agreed. I think people forget (or are simply unaware) that functions BB10 devices can run Android apps.

I'm pretty sure they wouldn't mind. There's not a lot to choose from when it comes to apps on BB10.

14. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

Spoken like someone who has never used a BB10 device before.

at least he know the truth :-/

25. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

So he speaks for BB10 users now, even though he isn't one himself? And it still doesn't make what I said any less true.

Who said anything about speaking for BlackBerry users? Get off your high horse. It doesn't make what I said any less true.

37. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

So then how can you say they won't mind? Do you know how many BlackBerry users DON'T use whatscrap? Because there are plenty, so get off YOUR high horse. And it still doesn't make what I said any less true. You're ignorant of anything not iOS.

Actually, I wasn't talking about Whatsapp. I was talking about Blackberry users using the Android version of apps in that they probably wouldn't mind using the Android version of apps since the Blackberry App Store is pretty limited. You're overreacting as usual.

43. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

I know exactly what you're talking about, and talking about "Android versions" includes whatsapp. BlackBerry's app store has all of the top major apps that are most used, and whatever apps they don't have "officially", they have native app developers that have developed them. iGrann and Inst10 are native Instagram apps on the BB10 platform that are not only more feature-rich than Instagram, but have had features like support for multiple accounts long before Instagram decided to implement it. As I said, you're quite ignorant of anything not iOS. You're being defensive (as usual) because I pointed out said ignorance.

You're the one who's being ignorant. You don't want to admit that Blackberry has a very limited app selection from its own front. Not every Android app is going to work and it's not always guaranteed to work. It's better to have "official" compatibility. You're ignorant of anything not Blackberry. Your comment above is proof.

49. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

I'm being ignorant because I pointed out that BlackBerry 10 devices have access to over 500,000 apps, which is a fact? In what world is that ignorance? Every Android app that's not running GMS works fine on BB10 devices. YOUR comment shows your ignorance of anything not iOS.

Again, I don't care about BB10 having access to the Amazon App Store. Again I can get the same access on my Moto X. The only real advantage the Amazon App Store has over the Play Store is the free app specials they run. Apps on the Play Store are updated faster and I'm not tied to Amazon. You're showing your ignorance plain and simple.

65. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

And I don't care what you don't care about, or what you you can get access to. All I care about is proving my point, which I have over and over again. It doesn't make a difference if you're "not tied to Amazon", because you're tied to something, that something just happens to be the Play Store. Amazon Apps are updated in a timely fashion. You obviously don't use the Amazon App Store, or you would know this. But I guess ignorance is bliss on your part.

76. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

You're half right. Usually you're never right. I don't use the Amazon App Store, that much. Most apps I need are on the Play Store and why bother using the Amazon Store when I can just use the Play Store instead? Like I said before, I understand if you want to take whatever you're given but I can use whatever.

77. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

I'm ALWAYS right where you're concerned. I can use whatever also. And I do. You're the one that limits yourself here, not me.

84. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

This is dumb. You're getting mad just because you have to stick with table scraps. Not my fault.

89. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

YOU'RE dumb. You're getting mad because there are other things out there that you're just so ignorant about that you think it's "table scraps". Not my fault you're ignorant.

94. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

I'm not getting mad at anything. You're the one who is shedding the salty tears just because I made the comment about the limited selection of apps on Blackberry. Get over it.

100. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

Of course you're getting mad. That's why you're here complaining and whining like a spoiled brat. As usual. I made a comment disproving your "limited apps" comment. Get over it.

104. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

You've lost here. I'm not going to keep this up. Take your lumps and grow up.

108. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

Clearly you've lost. Don't try to place your failures on me, especially since you can't debunk what I've said.

112. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Just take your lumps and live to fight another day. You're done, end of story.

115. meanestgenius (Posts: 18542; Member since: 28 May 2014)

You're still going on with this? Man, talk about sore loser.

30. Mxyzptlk (unregistered)

Don't mind meanest. He's just trying to pick a fight.
