BlackBerry CEO John Chen (http://www.engadget.com/2013/12/20/blackberry-ceo-layoffs/) may be immensely proud of his company's upcoming Android-powered Priv smartphone (http://www.engadget.com/2015/09/25/blackberry-priv-android-confirmed/), but he still has a few things to learn about using it. In an on-camera demo (http://www.bnn.ca/Video/player.aspx?vid=713580) of the Priv for BNN, it's apparent that the exec hasn't used Android much -- he talks about how it "runs Google," and has trouble launching basics like Chrome. Not exactly putting your best foot forward, BlackBerry. It's hard not to sympathize a bit with Chen, since he's likely been using BlackBerry 10 devices for a while. With that said, SlashGearraises (http://www.slashgear.com/ceo-john-chen-shows-off-the-blackberry-priv-gets-lost-27406531/) a valid concern about what this goof-ridden clip means for long-time users. Moving to Android is a big help for newcomers and people who'd left BlackBerry for greener pastures, but it might alienate loyal fans who've never tried another company's platform.
