Seeing how Facebook updates their apps for Blackberry, it boggles my mind why they don't have a full fledged Instagram app in the BB App store yet. I feel that the App store alone is the biggest flaw of any Blackberry device.

Looking @ the link above, this android apk installation looks very promising. I was worried that having the option to install an android app would be useless if the app doesn't render itself appropriately for the device it's being installed on but judging from the photos, it seems to do a good job.

Everything I touch from the keypad to the frame is fantastic. I have to hand it to john chen for doing such excellent work since he has became involved with blackberry. Can't wait for the next devices apparently they have a slider in the works they have locked down another patent

Honestly if you want a native experience with blackberry, there is an app called igrann which is a instagram app built from the ground up by one developer from instgrams api. With that said the feature missing is video upload which will be released soon.

I heard different. Current devices will get 10.3.1 by the end of the year.

The Facebook app is blackberry made and having the amazon app store preloaded solves this "flaw". There are even ways around not having Google services which also opens up Snap.

It has become slow as fuck, also the K button, along with some other buttons are super sensitive.

What are you guys doing to make your Blackberry devices become "slow as fuck?"

I'm trying to do that and to no avail is it going to happen. Beside physical wear and tear, a Blackberry has never slowed down on me.

Just use it normally every day.... Recently whatsapp has been a bitch after an update. Also, I always used to get this glitch in my texts, where they would just freeze. That was fixed like two updates ago but it was still really annoying..

Where were you guys last week when I needed this info! I thought 2GB Ram, Dual-Core, I would be fine! Yah it's definitely not up to par with my HTC M8 but I thought it would be sufficient.

Now I'm scared. :S

Do you think I will experience a huge downgrade from my HTC M8 or iPhone 5?

Oh, I see. I'll make sure not to run WhatsApp. It's too mainstream anyway.
