All I know is that I’ve won over $100M in fake money playing Texas Hold ‘Em on my Blackberry. So, in a way I’m a smartphone bigshot without having to buy an Iphone!

I liked my first and second BB and had a third when I retired. Then, BB sent a message that froze my email and demanded a new password and other inane questions.
I bought an iPhone in December.

Yurned up this link:
Are you interested in using Jolla's Sailfish OS?
*************************************EXCERPT**************************************
Sailfish is a great idea, and the execution is going very well so far, based on the demonstrations that weve seen on video. But is that going to be enough in 2013? It will really depend on BlackBerry 10, on what Google has in store for a major update to Android, and whether or not Apple revamps iOS in the way that everyone believes they should. Will there be any room for Sailfish? I hope so, because Id like to see some people using it out on the streets next year.

How does it work
The Sailfish SDK consists of QtCreator, a virtualised Mer Platform SDK and Sailfish components.
Code is developed in Qt-Creator on the host device; then, through shared storage, the code is passed to the virtualised Mer SDK where it compiles inside the Virtual Machine.

Jolla Details the Sailfish SDK, Built on Qt and Mer SDK Tools
*********************************************EXCERPT**********************************
November 22nd, 2012, 13:21 GMT · By Ionut Arghire
Following the official unveiling of its new Sailfish mobile operating system, Jolla detailed the Sailfish SDK today, offering more info on what developers need to know on the building of applications for the new platform.
Jollas Sailfish OS has been built on top of Mer project and Qt, while the modern interface it proposes to users was built with QML and QtQuick, designed to offer support for the standard QtMobility APIs.
However, Jolla will continue to use the MeeGo API (via the Mer core), including Qt 4.7 [Qt47], Qt Mobility 1.0 [QtMob], and OpenGL ES 2.0 [OGLES].
The company also notes that the Sailfish SDK was built on the underlying Qt and Mer SDK tools. It is developed openly and the work is done in the Mer Project. The Sailfish SDK is lightly customized and sports a series of Sailfish components.
The Sailfish SDK consists of QtCreator, a virtualised Mer Platform SDK and Sailfish components, the company
notes.
Code is developed in Qt-Creator on the host device; then, through shared storage, the code is passed to the virtualised Mer SDK where it compiles inside the Virtual Machine.
Those who would like to learn more on the
Sailfish SDK will have to go to
this page on the platforms wiki for info on how to build their own copy of QtCreator. The underlying source code can be found on this
webpage.
It's early days for building applications on Sailfish OS; at the moment you have to build your own copy of QtCreator and then work with the people in #mer and #nemomobile on irc, Jolla explains.
The company also notes that they are using Qt with the Sailfish UI components and that QtCreator plugins will soon become available for download for other people to take advantage of as well.
The developer kit is self-contained with no user-data. Its being produced in the SDK allows people to build their own flavor of the kit.
You get all the power of a complete
OS in an SDK (eg we're running a small web application framework to permit SDK management and this allows other interesting features too), Jolla continues.

What BlackBerry is missing
***************************************EXCERPT***************************************
Nothing announced or demo-ed today in New York by CEO Thornsten Heins and his team suggested this was a company looking to upend a market it once helped create.
Is good enough, good enough? BlackBerry CEO Thornsten Heins unveils the Z10 and N10 smartphones.
Yes, BlackBerry, the company formally known as RIM, demonstrated today that it can still build a quality device, and Alicia Keyes proved that shes equally classy as she is drop-dead gorgeous. Yet BlackBerry forgot to bring something critical to todays global party.
Granted, the Z10 is a slick looking smartphone. At $199 (on Verizon) its priced competitively. Theres plenty of apps at launch. Head of developer relations Alec Saunders said that the new BlackBerry World store features the largest catalog of apps for a first-generation mobile platform. And theres some solid features (Flow, Peak, Hub) in the new touch-based BlackBerry 10 operating system. Clearly the company has its eyes set on Apple (iOS) and Google (Android).
But theres one glaring omission:
Innovation.
