Blackberry

[ookpik]

(not to be confused with PDA.)

Most other societies have no problem being affectionate in public. People hold hands, friends embrace, greet each other with kisses, you name it. Here it is so rare we even have a term for it!

Did I say there was anything wrong with it? Sometimes when she's been particularly helpful to me I even do a PDA to my PDA.

I don't own a Priv (I use a Q10 now). I've never experienced any non-RIM smart phone operating system, but I'm told by people that use Android that I should want a Priv. Maybe in a few years.

Many of the criticisms about Android's [lack of] security have been warranted. But starting with Marshmallow (v6.0) and Google's new policy of rolling out regular bug fixes, there's a diminishing need for a special "secure" smartphone like Priv. For most users a Nexus branded device will do just fine at half the price of a Priv.

So even though I'm a BlackBerry shareholder and I'd like to see them prosper, I remain skeptical that they'll still be selling any handsets "in a few years."
