Good-afternoon my fellow Nairalanders. It came as a shock to me when a friend told me yesterday that soon Blackberry devices with kepads won't support the whatsapp application. I doubted first, so earlier today, my whatsapp needed updating, I successfully updated it and had to call him on the phone to tell him how wrong the rumour is. Now, and I mean just now I was on my whatsapp chatting, while I got the notification saying that from on the 31st of December 2016, it'll be better I switched to a whatsapp supported devices and then whatsapp Will no longer be supported on Blackberry devices. This is heartbreaking because, I just bought this phone.

It's all BlackBerrys, not only those with keypads, also Symbian, Java, Android 2.2 and lower, iOS 7 and lower and Windows Phone 7.1 and lower.

Don't be condescending, you know exactly what he means, also Blackberry currently has only two not very popular devices running on Android so it's understandable if someone forgets to mention them.

Yeah right. Z10 and z30 also have hardware keyboards?
