Seconded. It's not as bad in Canada where most of the banks and major companies have BB10 apps, but it's still a pain not to have Mint, Netflix, and other apps I would otherwise use on a daily basis.

The problem's somewhat mitigated by the fact that you can now access the Amazon Android app store and run Android apps, but it feels clunky and slow. Definitely not a good substitute.

Have you heard of Snap? With this app, you can download and install any Android app from Google Play as easy as native BlackBerry apps, and with no sideloading.

Mint, Netflix, any Android app you want can run on BB10 now. That along with everything in BlackBerry World. Plus, you get it on the awesome BB10 OS. Snap is a game changer.

Is BB10 still limited to Android apps made for 2.x?
