BlackBerry on Tuesday made a play for security-conscious Android users with the announcement of its new DTEK50. Running Android 6.0 Marshmallow and BlackBerry security software, the new unit is the “most secure Android smartphone” in the world, the company claimed. Many Android users have concerns about the their phone’s security, according to BlackBerry’s April survey of 8,000 consumers between the ages of 34 and 54. Fifty percent of the respondents felt their phones were only somewhat secure, and only one in six knew about security patches.
I always love and trust my Blackberry because of privacy. I think privacy is the basic right that all phone users are deserved. I like android apps but always doubt about privacy matters (Whatsapp, facebook,.....) some are interesting, i even get apk file on web from apkmirror or choilieng.com but i don't know if these apps would violate my privacy when installing on my blackberry.
I have always loved my BlackBerries. From the Pentagon to the Army to living in Spain, they have always been the best. Espec re security and I LOVE the design. Best keyboard on the planet - used to thumb type full documents! All the apps are not running at once wearing down the battery and it is easy to control the browser/roaming feature when overseas. I still have an 8700, Perl and Bold models all working fine - one never knows when the Samsung phone will die (about every 10 months I get a replacement (have had 7 so far) - thank goodness for warranties and insurance so replacement costs nothing or $5).
I understand Facebook no longer runs on BB's - oh, shall the world end? Think not - and think how much more productive I am.
T-Mobile (@TMobile, #TMobile) I pray you get these soon.
