Re: Fuck Blackberry, frankly
Yes, that's part of the reason, but
They didn't assess this before they created the Priv, and should have had contracts in place. Therefore they didn't care..
Various security patches are device independent, and could be supplied.
There is still, as far as I know, no commitment to extended security patches to other Blackberry Android phones.
Until they offer such an assurance, I will assume they are full of shit.
