C'mon guys.. this is not a matter of Poor and Rich. I have a Tecno F6 and an iPhone 6| So this is not about being poor and/or rich!

An Android Remains an Android
A Blackberry remains a blackberry

You may be able to install some Android Apps on your Blackberry does not make it Android because some Android Apps require a full pledged Android Device. E.g Device with root access! Do you root your blackberry?

Things a real Android would do and a blackberry would never:

- Install a custom ROM/OS
- Install a custom boot image - if you are a dev, you can use your picture and your favorite music as your boot image
- Partition your SD Card
- Backup your entire Operating System
- Run Terminal commands with Terminal Applications
- Port a ROM for another device to your device - if you are a good developer
- Port an application for another OS Version Android 4.4 to your Android 4.0 device
- Modify/Tweak system settings like CPU Governor, CPU Speed, Overclock etc..
And so on that your Blackberry would not do. The reason why your blackberry operates Android apps is because Android Apps are written in Java and a little C# and Blackberry is also based on Java so it can be easily ported does not make it an Android Device.

There are Android devices which cost N150,000 e.g HTC One X Pro. => Android 5.0 So what are we saying? There is a tweak i saw(and it worked for me) on porting iOS apps(iPhone apps) to Android phone, i was doing it but at a time, i had to buy an iPhone coz iPhone remains iPhone.

So guys, if you need the Android Experience, get an Android Device! Android Remains Android! BlackBerry Remains Blackberry! No matter what!

Posts like this makes Apple fans laugh at us. Apple and RIM will never allow you do all these because of the security risks. Their platform has a security consciousness, that is why it is favoured by high level business transactions and government.
So to get a blackberry that gives you access to thousands of applications on the Android platform while feeling at home with the inherent security enhanced design of the BB is an added advantage

If you don't know android phones lag, you have a problem of low standards. that's the reason why iSheeps call it "lag droid". Androids are popular primarily because of pricing, varieties, etc and not because of it doesn't lag. Most basic smartphone users don't have such high standards and are hardly power users.
