Report: BlackBerry's first Android phone is coming this November

This should have started years ago. Better late than never, may prove already too late for Blackberry.

Way too late!

Just another p.o.s. Android device with the same BB keyboard that is sooo antiquated.

You're NOT the arbiter of "antiquity", homes. In fact, physical keyboards are preferred by a smaller, but significant subset of users. This explains why there's so many clip-on/"slip-on" keyboards currently on the market.

Smh blackberry did this to themselves. They had the market for years and instead of actually taking advantage and continue to innovvate and make the OS better they keep pushing out crappy OS updates after crappy OS updates. Its like nothing was changing except the number next to the "OS". 5-7 was there time to change things up and they did nothing, OS was always buggy and slow, now its biting them in the but.

Too right BBub. I absolutely love my old Droid 4 slider and receive favorable remarks on it wherever I go. NOT ONCE has anyone been negative. What the usual windbags fail to grasp is that sliders, apart from being comfortable, accurate and fast effectively extend the real estate of the screen whilst keeping the phone a comfortable size in your pocket. And no, I don't give a flying f*** about the phone being slightly thicker and less bendy.

This is a step in the right direction for BB and good luck to them. You could already load Android apps and the Playstore on the last BB OS, so why not give in and go the whole hog? This new model looks beautiful and I am seriously considering finally upgrading.
