Bought a new Blackberry android phone because it had a keyboard
Charger cable doesnt fit... nor does any other... they wobble around and a sneeze in the same room will stop the phone charging
The back started falling apart in under a week so I had to buy it a case
The software (Android) is so pathetic that:
a) When trying to open my call log I can go and make a cup of tea... and drink it
b) 50% of the time I answer a call (UK SIM in Germany or Sweden) I can hear the others but they cant hear me
40% of the time I answer a call and cant hear them
10% of the time I answer a call and I am so astonished it works I am rushed to A&E with a suspected heart attack
Add to this that I have had more than a couple of unexpected restarts for now obvious reason (assume Android crashed)
I use whatsapp to get around (b) but that whats app doesnt have the UI to allow me to answer a call if I happen to be using any other feature on the application
So all in all, I now spend more time using my old Nokia S60 phone - it also has a keyboard (because it is landscape and slides from behind the screen its better) , it works, it answers calls, its battery lasts better and it isnt falling apart despite being about 5 years older than the Blackberry. Oh how I wish the BBC had not been so anti British and promoted the Apple as a god like figure, or that Nokia hadnt employed some nasty little piece of work from Microsoft who has a wonderful brain... its intact, never used and not stressed by ever even knowing how little solid info it contains.
I know that different people/different devices but...
Presuming you mean either KeyOne or Key2 then there were some issues when first launched but I don't recognise the above as any of those and I have not experienced what you list myself. I am not saying these phones are the best ever but if your needs are good call quality/decent battery life and a physical keyboard then there are very few competitors.
I would be thinking of doing a full reset to ensure there is not something gaga within the Android side, especially with your problems in Whatsapp as if the app is active in background you should get a notification of a call with the option to answer.
I also have a BB android phone (KeyOne). I have no problem charging it. I do have a problem with the mute button on the screen being in the exactly correct location to mute my phone if I am not careful how I put the phone to my ear, so I now generally either use earphones or the speaker. I too have an app that doesn't show inbound phone calls however, the phone still rings so I minimize the app and start the phone app to answer the call.
There could be a legitimate reason, in the sense that they had been using the machine for personal purposes. If permitted by the company policy, there's no real issue with that.
If I'd been doing personal banking on a company laptop, I might do a precautionary wipe, since you can never be certain where the laptop would end up, ultimately. I'd just do a free space wipe though - far less likely to raise the alarm.
> systematically poaching its top talent ... a salesman
If anyone has ever wondered why and how and just how the HELL great technology companies implode, this is a classic statement of a classic symptom.
Another classic symptom is the proud declaration of moving to a Professional Services focus.
