Wasn’t it like a year ago that iphone had an issue with Internet connections in public places? Maybe two years ago?

I think I Remember them showing the code that was defective. It was basic stuff. I remember reading the code.

I still think blackberry beats apple with security. They were encrypting and compressing data for many years. It’s built in in the hardware.

I was on an I phone today, comparing it to BB10. BB10 is so much easier to navigate, in a natural way. Yes, apple is hip, cool, and Rainbow approved. Every kid wants one. They take great pics. Steve Jobs is god.

But BB10 has was designed ground up to be a communication tool. Security and efficiency top priority. I use four or five things. Email, maps, voice commands, Web browser, BBM, text message, It does all of them, perfect. So navigating the system is the only difference I see between BB10 and Apple, and Apple is chaotic compared to BlackBerry. The most simple tasks are difficult to find or navigate. BlackBerry, it’s like it knows what your thinking when you navigate. Makes it so much easier.

Just for kicks, try one for a month.

That's hilarious! Any phone that requires a 116 page manual for the user to learn how to use it is not easier to use than one that does not even come with a manual. And no, the Blackberry was not designed from the "ground up to be a communications tool," it just growed over several years. The iPhone is incredibly intuitive to use as witness the fact that people from toddlers to old people in their nineties can learn to use it without being taught how. . . but YOU have trouble figuring it out???? Even more hilarious.

I repeat, the Blackberry can be beaten by every police department and DA in this country and every podunk country in the world with off-the-shelf tools purchased from The Hacker Team. You cannot do the same with an iPhone. . . but your opinion, you say, trumps that fact. I rest my case on facts, not opinion pulled out of your belly-button. . . or mine, but experts in the field who make their livings off of being right.

No. PA-RIVER, Blackberry's encryption is not in the hardware, it's in their software. Only Apple actually has their security and encryption truly built into their hardware with Apple's patented Secure Enclave Processors built into the Apple A7, A8, A8X, and A9 line of processors. Blackberry, like all the other cellular phones, uses off-the-shelf processors without such hardware. Again, you demonstrate you don't know what you are talking about.
