I like symbols on keyboard as well. But on Priv even for dot and comma you need to press the combined alt key, unlike Passport there are separate ", and ."

chenliangchen thank you for this post because after a long time i'm considering leaving maemo/meego/sailfish ship. This BB Priv caught my attention in the moment of weakness (getting really dissatisfied with my Jolla) so it's a real option. The only thing that's bothering me is that Android has no real multitasking and i don't know if i can live with that (yet). Any comments about that?
Thank you in advance!

How is the AMOLED screen compared to previous Nokia efforts?

I would keep a MeeGo/Sailfish device as a backup as they are so unique and efficient and beautiful. I missed real multitasking as well. Android is a pain to use. If you can get your device rooted you can make "recent" key shows app running in background rather than all recent apps, that sort of limited multitasking. But for Priv, probably root won't be possible anytime soon. So if multitasking is your 1st priority, get a BB passport instead, BB10 is way better than Android on every aspect and you can sideload android apps on it as well.

Android has real multitasking.
Depends on your free RAM and cached applications, the system will kill some background activities automatically. Depends on how it was coded the app MAY resume from where it's been killed (As iOS's tombstone).
Even like 3GB RAM on Priv, there is no real multitasking. What a joke!

Edit: depends on your input method. Stock BlackBerry input shows capital letter.

It's up to the developers to take advantage of that
Ironically, it has a better multitasking: For example, You can watch a video in a window on top any other app
