They would have done better to put their OS on cheap chinese hardware.

Perhaps a range of low end 7" phablets below £100, given a different branding ('BB' would seem to be the obvious choice).

I find Android a cheap nasty OS, fine for budget devices, but not anything I'd want to pay more than about £80 for.

I was thinking of replacing my Q5 with a Passport or Z30 until all this came up. Until this the only things putting me off were the lack of timed power off/on (meaning alarms don't work from off) and inability to switch to 2G only. (Which my previous Bolds both had). On the software front, my only real irritation is the lack of video add in for Bria.

But now I shall wait (this will have a knock on effect, to others waiting to replace their phones), if they are pulling the plugs on BB10, then I will wait until I find a passport for £60 (or jolla or sailfish produce something good).
