Point is, it works perfectly and actually makes me miss the Blackberry OS. It's still supported by the manufacturer even although they killed the platform 2 years ago.
On a similar note, I have two very large clients here in the UK (40,000+ employees) and they're all on windows phone 8. They have absolutely no plans to change this. The operating system and it's basic apps still work.
Heck, my Lumia 800 still works :)
W10M may wind down but your phone will still work a decade from now
I just read that the pentagon use windows 95 and 98 on some of their core systems. In telco and in banking they use a lot of terminal programs.
You can still buy original, unused nokia 3310s.
bb10 is a good OS. The q5-20, classic, passport all very useable. Maps (QNX has navigation in a car and traffic prediction locked down) and the HUB, as well as real time multi-tasking, are stand out features, as well as the intuitive side swipe gesture implementation that no one else has quite matched yet (although windows 10 has a touch of this).
bb os - well it gets the job done. Browser is a bit sad, and I think they'd all be pretty much 2g, lol.
