But seriously, if you ain't using your Android with a Wi-Fi, then you'll never quit complaining cause you'll not enjoy your device fully. #TeamAndroid

obiscolly: grin people be like #teamAndroid but deep down they so want a Blackberry 10 device. They be checking their data consumption and switching data on and off every now and then tongue Live a hustle free life. Get a BB10. You can always run all of your android apps on bb10. So that a win-win! wink
when a double sim bb hits the market, the chances of me dropping my android phone will be very high.

If not that it has much more functions than bb,I can't imagine myself using it...why on earth will someone be spending up to 5k on vouchers only if cares is not taken when there are other pressing needs...but if properly use,it worths the costs#team android!!!!!!

Mohitto: Why should there be any argument here? They're going back to their blackberries because they don't have enuff money to subscribe to data on android devices. That doesn't make BBs better, just cheaper!
For those of us who prefer quality, we know we can still have the best of both worlds, by paying just a little more!!
Hmmm You Sell Phones?

I use an android phone and to be sincered.. bb aint a smart phone. the only issue android users are experiencing is internet access. Though this has been resolved with MTN only. I now subscribe for 1gig valid for 30days @d price of #1300.

. Quoting Wikipedia 'Android applications
Through the "Android runtime" component of the platform, BlackBerry 10 can run applications designed for the Android platform. Originally, Android apps required a special "wrapping" process in order to run on BlackBerry 10, which translated API calls for certain Android-specific functions (such as navigation buttons) into those that can be recognized by BlackBerry's operating system. As of the 10.2.1 update, APK files can now be installed directly; although it does not support Google Play Store, application platform VP Chris Smith demonstrated at Mobile World Congress that users could easily install and use the Amazon Appstore to download and install Android apps to run on their BlackBerry phones. Smith did not rule out the possibility of establishing formal partnerships with non-Google application stores for use on BlackBerry in the future.[24][25]

On June 18, 2014, BlackBerry announced an official relationship with Amazon.com, which will see the upcoming 10.3 update offer official access to Amazon Appstore.'. Check the application section under this linkif udont believe
