The only smartphone hardware that I like is the Blackberry with physical keypad. But I do not like the Blackberry-software. What I would really like to do is install the Ubuntu-OS or the Firefox-OS onto the Blackberry.

I assume this is not possible because Blackberry is so proprietary. On chance that I'm wrong, does anyone know if this will be possible in the future?

I have a BB Torch 9800 and agree with you. I have been previewing the BB10 line and so far do not think it comes up to the Samsung Galaxy line especially the Galaxy Note 2.
I am close to buying the note2 because of all the things it can do. With the pen you can tap out emails rapidly or get used to using the keyboard which may end up being faster than the Torch slide out. I hope you get an answer to your question and if so
and you do it I will try it too.
