The BB10 mobile OS can already run some Android apps, but BlackBerry is recently in the crosshairs of rumor mongers with the speculation that it is prepping a phone with Android as the stock operating system. The device is allegedly codenamed Venice internally, and, again eventually, is said to be a slider of sorts. The handset is said to come with options to be either an Android, or a BB10 device, according to the user's preferences.

For the most parts, emulating Android apps hasn't been a seamless experience on BB10, so having a full-fledged Android device might return the spotlight on BlackBerry again. Yesterday, a picture by a BlackBerry developer leaked out, allegedly showing a BlackBerry Passport running an Android build. The phone's model is denoted as BlackBerry Passport SQW-ANDS, with the last letters apparently indicating an Android version of the handset.

Where there's smoke, there could be fire as well, that is why we wanted to ask you whether you would be interested to get a new BlackBerry handset if it ran Android. After all, the rumors are for flagship specs like a QHD display, and a Snapdragon 808 chipset, which might be one more thing to tip the scale for a switch. Tell us your mind.

At the same rate with Tecno, definitely yes

If the specs are in line with what i want in Android phones then why not.

Nokia experimented with this and it was a disaster.
For me,except they incorporate BIS, I don't think they can be better than what is obtainable now

that shouldn't be a good marketing strategies. they should remain with BlackBerry. least they can do is that the 10 device can run all android os app

very easy to spot a tecno fan boy.

If only i can subscribe officially to any bis plan so that i can get 3gb for 1k without tweaking and if it won't be as expensive as a plot of land, maybe I'd consider it.

Haba, blackberry passport is not made with the same build material used in any tecno. Premium products come with a price, can u buy a Mercedes Benz for the price of a Toyota?

Nokia didn't make a full fledged android device. The Nokia x series are low specd, low resolution, heavily skinned android version. That thing doesn't even have play store.

Hahahah, I knew you would bring this up...
