I've been a loyal Blackberry owner for the last decade. I've loved every device I've owned, and have been a constant advocate for Blackberry. I currently carry the Bold 9930, which is absolutely the best phone I have ever owned. Now it is time to upgrade, and for the first time I am not sure Blackberry is my best option. I want to see Blackberry succeed more than anything, so I have spent an absurd amount of time delaying my decision. I hate the IPhone and the blind cult that follows it's every move. I simply do not understand what the attraction is. So here is what I need to know: I am currently Verizon, but the service embarrassingly PATHETIC in my area, so I am making the switch to AT&T (which kills me...I want the Z30), so I've narrowed my choices to the Samsung Galaxy Note 3, the HTC One, and of course the Z10(which I make every possible excuse for to try to make it look like the best choice.
I can handle any small glitches etc, I trust that Blackberry will stand behind their product as always, and will continue to roll out OS updates....I'm 28, and I rely way too much on a few certain apps ( currently I use my IPad for these (don't worry I have a Playbook too)).....so, basically, with the latest update (I have no problems with installing the recent "leak"), will I be able to run stable versions of Instagram, SnapChat, PicStitch....I know those apps sound petty, but after all of this time not having them, I want them badly.....Additionally, will these apps permanently work, meaning will support for the "android player" continue in future updates, or will these app administrators attempt to block Blackberry's from running these apps?
I know I just wasted a lot of people time with all of that, but I genuinely appreciate any advice/help that anyone can offer. If I knew the Z30 would be coming to AT&T, it may be worth the wait, but I still have the same app questions. Thank you!
