Well, I find it quite interesting to know that even the Ottomans enjoyed anal sex

Seriously, why the hell is this sort of things on HN?

I had the same problems with my previous Motorola defy. Then I switched to BlackBerry 10 and I'm happy with that. I'll try Jolla for sure as soon as possible, but I suggest you trying the blackberry z10 (that is priced at ~250E now) if you are interested in something different and more polished. Just my 2 cents

I'd love to see a similar project developed by a foundation such as FSF, Mozilla or EFF

Yet another closed-source "secure" messenger. That's interesting, but if I was a chinese dissident I would never trust a closed-source messenger.

(btw I would try it for sure if you'll port it to BB10!)

Waiting for the 'why scala is a bad language' response

In my opinion BlackBerry is just too big and important to fail. It's the only non-american major player, and it's well known for its security and reliability.

Anyway, if you're trying to decide between the Q10 and the HTC One, I think the biggest difference is the keyboard. If you prefer a physical one, just go BB. If you prefer a larger screen to watch pictures, videos and play games, buy the HTC One.

FIY some days ago Nokia gave me a free lumia for development purpose, and while typing on its screen keyboard I really missed the physical one of my Q10. With my BB I can type precisely without watching the keyboard, and I love it, while on touchscreen I feel insecure. Sometimes I'd like to have a bigger screen, but I wouldn't trade the keyboard for that (If you want to watch a movie, tablet are a better choice anyway).

Speaking about apps, as I already said I don't really feel such a huge gap. I have all the apps I usually use, and for the missing ones there is always the android runtime (which runs pretty well and is constantly improving). In addition to that, I feel a greater UI consistency in BB10 native application, compared to iOS and Android ones. You have settings on the top, main bar on the bottom, togglable action bar on the right and menu bar on the left. Imho this is a great value for BB, which is instead missing on Android.

Then, we could speak about swipe based ui, blackberry hub and a lot of things, but I think you already know all I could tell to you.

So, regardless of your final decision, I hope you will be satisfied with your new smartphone. Good luck!

(and sorry for my poor english)

I totally agree with you. I recently switched from android 4 to blackberry 10 and I couldn't be happier with it. It's an awesome OS, plus the app gap with android/ios is not really terrible (I can find almost all the apps I need in the BB world, and I have the android runtime -which works fine for me- for the others). I guess the majority of bb detractors have never played with BB10 for more than 10 minutes before. I suggest you to do so, you could change your mind ;)

Does this issue affect FreeBSD drivers as well?

Yeah, I thought it was funny mostly cause FreeBSD Jails and Docker have really a lot of things in common

Ironically, Warden is also the name of the tool used in PC-BSD to manage FreeBSD Jails.

I own a Q10 and I love it. Really, I didn't think that it could be so good, but now I couldn't switch to android back. of course i't just MHO.

It does not work for me :( I see nothing special

Nice!

BTW, am I wrong or some small countries are missing? Just to name few: Vatican City, Mauritius, San Marino

Are Android apks converted to BlackBerry 10 bars still vulnerable?

Is FreeBSD supported?

Yeah... more or less :P (btw I'm Italian too)

(more info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Republic_of_Rose_Island )

[OT] Another 'quite-similar' fact happened (in Italy) in 1967, when italian engineer Giorgio Rosa built an artificial island in Adriatic Sea, named it "Rose Island" and declared indipendence. The micro-nation adopted Esperanto as official language, issued a number of stamps and had its own currency. Unfortunately, Italian government ordered the militar police to destroy it, even thought it was placed in international water. It was one of the few wars that Italy actually won [/OT]
