The Blackberry Classic was the only Blackberry I ever owned, and it turned out to be my favorite phone of all time. I wish they would release a new model but sadly we know it will not happen.
i bought a used one 2 years ago after seeing video like this at a bargain $30 and i don’t regret it, it sits nicely on my shelf and sometime i use for spotify
i still think that it was waste to lose blackberry. they could’ve been one of the best industry that could’ve compete with apple and samsung. i mean they could’ve still produce those kind of smartphones with physical keyboard, it would be an appealing to maintain this thing nowadays, it’d made the phone unique into their design.
I have BB Z10&30. I still have them. The system is light and easy to use. It is unfortunate that it is out of service. I still miss the store and applications 2013-2019. 😢
Instead of buying BB phones people should look into BB stocks that are at 20 year lows and many hedge funds seem to be getting in. I feel there is an accumulation going on because their price to sales ratio is just at 2.07 now. Which is extremely cheap. The reason the stocks dipped so low is because BB decided to raise 194million in cash to pay for maturing notes with fresh notes at 3% interest. BB seems to be big into Software Defined Vehicles with their Blackberry IVY, Blackberry Sound and QNX software and Hypervisor. AWS seems to be a major partner on the QNX. At 1.67billion market cap it is only a matter of time before someone buys them outright.
To be honest, just for its design i wouldn't hesitate using it and showing it to public it that I'm using it today If only it has today's average specs, just average and I'd have a go
Man, I wish I had access to 2G or 3G here in the US. I hate the modern smartphone landscape, and all the well made dumbphones were released before VoLTE was mandatory. While not a dumbphone, I was hoping I could at least use an old Blackberry as a more focused sort of device, but it seems that isn't an option either. I know the Unihertz phones exist, but those are much cheaper and less classy in build and design compared to the old Blackberries. It's a real shame.
There was so many shortcuts on the operating system. I could literally respond to text messages or emails so fast it’s ridiculous the ability to skip a song while your phone is in your pocket just by pressing and holding up or to go back a song by holding down more companies should. Skipping to the top of the text messages pressing the t button was sweet.
