    I installed this on one of my many, many BlackBerries and boy howdy am I impressed at the potential here. We are looking at a future where there is a modern [QNX OS] (https://github.com/sw7ft/QNX-Handhelds) that carries on the lineage of what I think, was an amazing operating system.

    Roast me but honestly I loved BB10 and especially the hub. I have been messing around with BerryCore on a BlackBerry Classic and it is super cool the only worry I have is that I'm exposing myself to bad actors given the ancient software.

      I bought a BB10 phone for cheap after the OS was discontinued, just so I would get a chance to experience it, and yeah, it was pretty good! Anyone who likes the card-based multitasking should take a look at Sailfish, but I have yet to see a better software keyboard than the one in BB10.

      I recently bought the new Jolla, so I probably won't be seriously looking into BB10 any time soon, but this is still cool to see.

    growing up I primarily used a BlackBerry as a journal, because I found that having a keyboard on you just for writing down daily thoughts was more enjoyable than lugging around a notebook. That's not to say I didn't also do that as well. Those were simpler times though, I remember getting BBM pins from girls in my highschool and making sure they saw I was listening to really thoughtful deep music like bon iver lol. nowadays I just think there's a lot of potential for grassroots development ever since [bbroot came out with this] (https://bb10.root.sx/blog/autoroot-v4) seriously impressive
