Sweet collection, you need to fix up your PRIV and KEYone. They are the only BB phones i have owned and had to fix. Just fixed up a KEYone that had its display fall out just like yours.
What are you guys talking about?!? I'm still rocking my Q10 like a BOSS 😁!!! Yeah, I've got an Android on the side, but... Great video. Keep'em coming.
Excellent video Ole. Blackberry was extremely popular here in South Africa during the Blackberry 8520 (GPRS model) and the 9300 (3G model) days. The reason for that was their BIS service. for R60 (Rands - South African Currency), you could surf the net, download media and stay connected on every social media platform per month. This helped so many people stay connected for cheap. During those days I owned the Blackberry 8520 then upgraded to the 9300. The upper class models during that time was the 9700 Bold and 9900 Bold. They were crazy expensive. The BIS service was then changed into various packages/options at the time when BB OS10 arrived. Soon after that, the number of Blackberry users dropped due to the Rise of Android from as early as 2.3 Gingerbread and iOS, think it was version 4.0.
Awesome video. I love Blackberrys. I feel they are some of the best phones on the market to date. But it is very nice to have a good UA-cam channel to go watch for some good BlackBerry info. Thank you an keep up the great work.
Hello JAn Ole, greetings from Brazil. Loved the video because I could see my self there, my first BlackBerry was the 8900 followed by 8520, Bold 9900 ( had 3 of them), Z10, Classic, Z30, Passport Silver and now Keyone. Od course I had the PlayBook as well. Thank you for the video!
Enjoyed the video. I unfortunately have moved on from BlackBerry because I needed a phone with a better quality camera but I still miss my old phones. I do have the Curve, Q5, Q10, and Leap sitting around in my drawer just in case my current phone dies. I was very close in getting the DTEK 50 but chose Sony instead. My favourite was the Leap and Q10.
I became fan of blackberry since u started showing blackberry. And i still want a classic in my pocket. Jan ole name was enough for me to watch videos during my graduation days
I love dtek60 which is budget friendly from all the blackberry devices right now,iam going to own one soon.....!and thanks for sharing your collection.
Hi i’m from malaysia, i subs to your channel because i think you are so interesting and unique. Nobody want to talk about BB nowadays. But you keep exploring it. Such a rare channel. Thumbs up! Keep exploring BB10!
Great video! I still have a Q10 and Z10 and I’m always looking for other Blackberry phones to add to my collection! Keep up the great videos on Blackberry!
Hey Jan. I bought my first BB in 2015. It was the Passport. I loved it, and still do. However, due to work I needed a phone that can access apps on Google Play. So, I bought a KeyOne. This is based on an earlier review that you did on the KeyOne. It is a truly beautiful phone. Thank you for recommending it.
Great video as always! I currently own four BBs. I still think the concept of the Priv is brilliant - the best of all worlds, outstanding quality display, Android (with BB slant) and a physical keyboard - wish they would update!
Jan, great collection. Currently I have the key2LE and really think blackberry has come a long way from the priv. My first blackberry was a data device only. It looked like a pager and did email calendar and no sms. For over 15 years I was a bb curve user because I liked a bb phone that was light as possible. That is why I have chosen the LE over the standard key2.
I was always into Blackberry but now that I’m getting old I desire a bigger screen and Amoled display. Now I’m getting hacked left and right and I need to go back to the os10 blackberry. Do you think the passport is a wise decision?
Thank you very much for sharing your passion about the Blackberry phones. Your presentation is extremely detailed and Well Done! Blackberry is the main phone of our company and really meets the demands of our business world. Blackberry's PHYSICAL KEYBOARD is of no match to any phone in the market today, not even Iphones, Samsung or any Android phones.
Great video Ole, was nice to see you reminiscing over your collection. I got into blackberry when my friend got his 3310 and I got the same model. I stuck with Blackberry and moved onto the 9720, Q10 (still my favourite) and am now on the Priv. Thinking about upgrading to the KeyOne black edition, would you go for that or hold on for the Athena?
If you remember the first BB Classic ads from a couple of years ago they even showed the 9900 side by side to the Classic as a reference to the evolution. Anyways, good luck to you and thanks for telling cool videos so far.
that's a nice collection :) Here i still have a Cure 8520 as a spare phone, a Bold 9900 which sadly won't start anymore, a reliable Z10 for media consumption, music player, clock, etc. And my favorite, the Passport as my secondary phone, for productivity (emails, documents, etc..). It's difficult to switch to a new TCL Blackberry for now. I'm still waiting for a real flagship, and not the KeyTwo compromise (and its absurd price...).
I do know what you mean of how they flopped the PRIV. Feels sorta like a plastic chunk compared to other BlackBerrys but currently my daily driver is the PRIV. Prolly gonna update to KEYone or KEY2 soon.
I've owned (and used) the black Passport, white Passport, red Passport, blue Classic, black Z30, black Leap, white Leap and the DTEK50. Currently I'm on the white Leap. All the other phones I either sold or dropped/destroyed. Debating whether I should get the Key2 which seems quite an improvement over the KeyOne.
Great video, I owned 7 BlackBerry over the years, and I have now two daily drivers, the Passport and the Priv, I stayed with the passport because I love everything about it and the battery is just amazing, do you know if the battery of the motion is comparable because really the passport never lets me down. The priv is not too great but I need the apps sometimes :) keep up with those videos :)
Great collection jan!! Me only owned a blackberry curve 8520 os 5, blackberry torch 9850 os 7, blackberry Z30 os 10 and now my daily driver blackberry priv android 6.0.1 ..
i had a Q10 and a Z30. the Q10 i used the longest, typing was a joy, the Z30 was better for consuming content and although didn't have the tactile feel of a physical keyboard, the BB virtual keyboard i loved.
I love your channel bro. I bought the blackberry q10 in 2014, and it's been my daily driver till today. Still an amazing phone if you're not big on mobile gaming or watching videos. Sadly I plan to replace it next month with a pixel 2, but only because I need a better camera for my business. I think the BB10 OS is the best functional OS till date
I own a blackberry z3 still now But in india blackberry phones were always very much expensive. I do love the design of blackberry bold 8790, blackberry style, blackberry passport, and the recent blackberry keyone but wish keyone could be bit cheap in india.
i must say i really really loved my q10 and if a device existed like it but running android i'd buy it immediately. the small screen never bothered me because i am all about productivity when it comes to my mobiledevice. the speaker was just brilliant on the q10 the batteries that were delivered in an rechargeable cartridges were genious... i had spare batteries everywhere, and when my battery was dead i just swapped it and got back from 0 to 100 in a snap. there was so much good on the q10 I really miss but unfortunately most people have different priorities than I have so it would propably not pay off to launch such a device... bbos10 was also a really thoughtfully designed os - if it had been 100% compatible with android apps i would still run it without a doubt. today i have a black keyone which is also a worldclass device in my opinion but i liked the formfactor of the q10 a hundred times more. it was so good to use with just one hand and also small things like using the volume rockers with a long press to skip track were just lovely... so much good about the old ones - super sad that they can not be brought back. but still I am very happy to see that bb did not completely vanish and I am sure that they will be a success with their new devices coming out in 2018. And please never give up the physical keyboard - i really hate typing on glass. i would do speed typing competitions to proof that a physical keyboard can not be beaten in terms of speed and accuracy not even to mention that being able to type blindly is also a real game changer when texting while being in public places. As long as you build devices with physical keyboards there are a little bit less smombies on the go than otherwise.
I got in to BlackBerry by accident sort of... I owned "dumb phones" all my life (i.e. the LG expression or a ZTE z431 or something like that). Finally my last dumb phone broke and I decided I needed to upgrade to something that was higher end. So I did some research and decided to buy a Q10. I couldn't find any for a reasonable price at that time anywhere though! So I had to go on ebay (terrible, I know. Don't recommend it) and ordered a new Q10 for about $50. Finally the package arrived and I was so excited! I cut it open and saw the colorful Q10 box and everything. I then quickly opened the box and low and behold what did I see? A phone that did not fit into the box very well. I took out the phone, "Huh, I thought. This doesn't look like how it did in the pictures... it has silver on the sides and on the frets and and even a trackpad." Turns out, (after a little more research) whoever was in charge of packaging at that store messed up and put a nice new BlackBerry Classic in a Q10 box! (Hey, I'm not complaining. I got way more of my money's worth from their mistake) I absolutely loved that phone. So beautifully constructed, absolutely great OS, I the keyboard was amazing, but I think what the best part for me was that notification light (I know, weird right?). It was so sharp and clear and so many different colors! Honestly, if it wasn't for that little light I probably wouldn't have sticker with Blackberry. (Also fun fact, that phone helped me get a date. I was going out with a girl at the time and her father, a diehard fan of BlackBerry owns a Passport SE himself, learned I owned a Classic and instantly approved. Even gave me a case for the phone and everything.) After that incident I researched BlackBerry phones and was just loving all of them. I wanted to get a Passport next but stumbled across a video (it was yours actually Mr. Ole) from the new recently released KEYone. Man I fell in love with that phone. I saved up for it and bought a Blackberry KEYone Black Edition and it is incredible. Now I, at 18 years old, am a Blackberry enthusiast. I probably won't be able to buy any other phone now. My girlfriend's father loves me for it. I even bought her a silver KEYone (previously iPhone 5) for her birthday because she was marveling at mine and she is a huge fan of the phone! She messages a lot on her phone so it really suits her needs. Also we have matching phones and she thinks it's cute ;P anyway that's my BlackBerry story. Really love BlackBerry, hope they stay alive, and I'm super excited for the Key2 which I'm planning on buying this summer! Or maybe that Blackberry Ghost that some people are talking about... Thanks for the videos and for getting me into BlackBerry! (Wrote this on my KEYone)
Hi I'm new to your channel and saw that you own a lot of BlackBerry. I was wondering if you know how to get a 10 year old BlackBerry to restart. It's not turning on when I press on "on" button. Any tips would be greatly appreciated
My Storm, Curve 8900 9300, Bold 9700 9780, Q10, Passport. All in memories. Im the first of my peers to rock a blackberry (The Curve) and I was amazing. I still remember all the customization you cna get. Changing the casing and stuff. My last phone was the Passport and it was on of the best BB I've used. Good times in the CB Community. Good time of getting firmwares and hacking (if it was the word?). Now I got the iPhone X and only reason I gave the 8 Plus to my wife and got the X myself is the gesture control which was similar like the BBOS. I didnt got the Keyone or the Priv is because of the price. But now with my new job, i'm waiting for the KeyOne 2/ KeyTwo instead which will be my MUST BUY. Very disappointed with the Motion, if it got the 626 or 660 or the 630 i'll get it. But the spirit of BB is the PKB not all screen like most phone nowaday. Thank you Jan for bringing back the memories.
Hey Ole, my silver keyone screen popped out also but they kept it and sent me a new one. How did u manage to keep your old broken one and get a new one from them?
Hi. I'm subscribed to your channel and love your reviews. Sadly I have sold mine BB Classic and Passport Silver edition. I would like to buy them again. Would you sell it to me or if you know someone that would sell?
Another cool video! I still use a BB Passport SE, it's starting to lose a lot of Android apps, but is still a great workhorse and I love the huge square screen! I'm looking for a good condition Keyone as I also need to use a lot of apps that are unfortunately disappearing from BB10. Passport is hands down the best BB phone ever made! An android version of it would be amazing!
Nice one keep doing more videos , I too big fan for blackberry holding Classic,Passport SE, Keyone. Classic - the best keypad ever made by blackberry, Passport SE - the beast one still enjoying it, Keyone - No other options good phone to have, good battery backup only for apps i am using this one.
I currently use passport lmt red edition..had classic n Z10...waiting for new Android BB..Priv looks awesome but it Wsnt a major success I heard...your thoughts on it pls..tanx
I've been asking this question for a while now. Does anyone know of a way to take the blackberry classic shell and make it run on Android platform. Like the keyone. Don't get me wrong I love the keyone but I fing that the classic was a better balanced phone. Please some help, money isn't really an issue here.
got 8800 series.nice and neat(only downside is im allergic to curve style keypad after that) then got on 9780 and 9800. later on getting a Classsic, now having eye on m boss Priv
The only BB phone I had was a Q10. I realy loved the build but I hated it because it takes minutes to start up when I power it on. I like switching my phone off at night before I sleep, and the 1st thing I do in the morning after waking up is to power my phone on.
Hey Ole, love your videos. Just 1 question, if I heard you correctly but you where saying why the BB Motion is your Daily Driver and not the BB Keyone and are you going to make the Keytwo as your daily ?
Am still using my Q10. Have two. Recently added Google Playstore as a work around with connection problems with calendar and contacts. Have not annoying warning in a week. Q10 convenient size, pkb, and a REPLACEABLE battery. Go Blackberry OS10.
Hello Ola Iam Nada from Saudia arbea i was have i phon 5s for 3 year and i saw blackberry priv and sersheng about all blackberry then saw you’re video then i can’t by priv after 2 year have the priv am soo happy to have blackberry phon like your video keep going .
I have owned q10 z10 but now i have the passport and the priv as my daily driver....im looking after to athena and it has to offer but im tempted to jump to note 8... I was so disappointed that priv did not even get nougat up and security update as well.... And very slow to update as well...
Ole, you're a great fan! So powerful, so many BlackBerry phones! I have only a few, 9900 Q10 passport, no BlackBerry Android phone! A bit of regret, I did not buy more BlackBerry at the right time, and now I can't buy a brand new BlackBerry Priv Q20 and so on! However, I will try to save money to buy ketone! who makes me like blackberries very much!
i want to buy q10 now but i dont know if i can add Arabic language beside the english ! if u can help to chuck if there a way to add arabic even the keyboard in english it doesn't matter
Blackberry curve was my 1st BB, had 2 of them. Expl0it3d the crap out of BIS back in the day, lol. Got a Bold 9810 for that sweet slide up screen, and compact form factor. I mean, it was just such a cool phone back then, imo. Current daily is a Priv, until my KeyOne Black edition arrives next week. PS, loved my HTC TyTN 2 before my move to BB's & Samsung's.
Hi Jan, I am happy about your Blackberry craze., Because I am too one like, I have been using my Z10 and my brother a Passport for the last 3 years and My Z10 never gave a chance to hate it, simply because of the Perfectly mastered OS and Engineering Design.....I love Only BB's.....All I need to know is that at 5:13 of this video, a Whatsapp notification comes in your Passport, what app does that now in BB10, as there is no whatsapp support presently.
Hi Janiel, just download the Android app from whatsapp.com, install Whatsfixer from BB World and off you go. Android whatsapp runs flawlessly on my Passport SE!
My first was the BlackBerry Curve 8330, and that Phone` was crap.. while it was a smartphone it was laggy slow and sluggish. Meantime, the BlackBerry Curve 8530 was excellent. Then I got the Torch, The Bold 9900, Playbook, The Z10, Q10, Classic, Z30, Passport SE, and the Priv.. My faves have been the Bold, Z10, and Z30.
I started with Z10 and fell in love with BB10 OS. But switched to android since whatsapp pulled out support and I could not book Uber etc. From my phone. But I still have it and sometimes use it as my second phone.
8700 was my first and it has the best keyboard. The feeling is just better than 8310 8900 9788 9930 and priv, hope there will be a new one with the same keyboard of 8700.
I really suggest you try at least to get the 9000 and 9900 phones and make some retro review of them. I know a lot of people will love to watch that. Myself included. Plus they are dirt cheap to find. Also: the 9000 is considered the grandfather of the 9900 and the 9900 is the grandfather of the Classic. You can even make a story / compare video / history lesson between them.
Waiting for the successor of BlackBerry KEYone as it's too gorgeous in leaked images that you displayed in your previous video, currently working with BlackBerry Z10, I never wanted to move from BlackBerry 10 OS, but unfortunately would have to move once the BlackBerry KEYone successor is launched!
Dori B Yeah that's true but in other country they don't sale! or shipping! Recently here coming all blackberry Android type mobile! but Blackberry classic model is not available!😞 I need only buy classic cz Android I already have! Why all blackberry still available only in USA! not other country!😭
Dori B No it's not expensive! but maybe people are not interest to blackberry that's the problem! All types of iphone is available! selling everything ok only problem with blackberry😞
Hey Jan Ole, also als erstes muss ich mal sagen ich schaue deine Videos echt gerne, also dafür schonmal ein allgemeines Luke von mir! Mach weiter so. Ich nutze BlackBerry seit dem Curve 8330 ich blieb lange am Bold 9900 hängen was meiner Meinung nach eins der besten ist. Das Classic und das Passport wurde natürlich auch sofort gekauft und ich nutze beide auch noch einfach die besten Telefone auf dem Markt. Ich habe lange die Android BlackBerry Modelle gemeldet weil es für mich einfach kein BlackBerry war, dank deinem Video habe ich mir nun doch das Keyone Black Edition gekauft und bin zufrieden damit, das Motion würde ich mir allerdings nie kaufen da es kein BlackBerry ist!! Es gehört einfach die Tastatur dazu und der Bildschirm! Es is und bleibt ein Arbeitshandy! Wofür ich BlackBerry sehr dankbar bin. Danke aber für das tolle Video was mir zum keyone Black Edition geholfen hat! lg aus dem schönen Münchens
Sweet collection, you need to fix up your PRIV and KEYone.
They are the only BB phones i have owned and had to fix. Just fixed up a KEYone that had its display fall out just like yours.
Ayy Hugh is here!

Always happy to watch blackberry related contents and you make the videos better than anybody on the UA-cam.
really enjoyed the video..this reminded me of all my BB handsets...planning to get a keyone but just a bit confused
Great video, I had a 9700 and a Classic and currently still using Blackberry's biggest 'flop', the PRIV. it works for me...
Great video. Love all the blackberries. My favorite is still the all might Passport
Great video! I still have a Q10 and Z10 and I’m always looking for other Blackberry phones to add to my collection! Keep up the great videos on Blackberry!

I started my Blackberry experience with the Classic 3 yrs. ago. Now I have the Priv, which is a great phone
Jan, great collection. Currently I have the key2LE and really think blackberry has come a long way from the priv. My first blackberry was a data device only. It looked like a pager and did email calendar and no sms. For over 15 years I was a bb curve user because I liked a bb phone that was light as possible. That is why I have chosen the LE over the standard key2.
Nice summary of the BlackBerries you have owned. Now we come to the KEY2. Seeing that review makes me hope BlackBerry Mobile updates the camera.
I love ❤️ Blackberry and I really wish and pray they find a way to come back!!!!!! Thanks for another great video......
Love any and all your BlackBerry videos Mr. Ambassador.
I was always into Blackberry but now that I’m getting old I desire a bigger screen and Amoled display. Now I’m getting hacked left and right and I need to go back to the os10 blackberry. Do you think the passport is a wise decision?
I am a huge Blackberry fan. I just love the devices they offer. I have storm, couple of curves , Z3 and now evolve
Big fan for Blackberry , Happy to seeing all bb models in one platform

is the blackberry passport silver edition production discontinued? i can't find one, from the philippines
Hello Jan! It's a precious collection! Best regards from Rio. 😎
that's a nice collection :) Here i still have a Cure 8520 as a spare phone, a Bold 9900 which sadly won't start anymore, a reliable Z10 for media consumption, music player, clock, etc. And my favorite, the Passport as my secondary phone, for productivity (emails, documents, etc..). It's difficult to switch to a new TCL Blackberry for now. I'm still waiting for a real flagship, and not the KeyTwo compromise (and its absurd price...).
Great collection..!!!
Love it..!!
I do know what you mean of how they flopped the PRIV. Feels sorta like a plastic chunk compared to other BlackBerrys but currently my daily driver is the PRIV. Prolly gonna update to KEYone or KEY2 soon.
I've owned (and used) the black Passport, white Passport, red Passport, blue Classic, black Z30, black Leap, white Leap and the DTEK50. Currently I'm on the white Leap. All the other phones I either sold or dropped/destroyed. Debating whether I should get the Key2 which seems quite an improvement over the KeyOne.
Great video, I owned 7 BlackBerry over the years, and I have now two daily drivers, the Passport and the Priv, I stayed with the passport because I love everything about it and the battery is just amazing, do you know if the battery of the motion is comparable because really the passport never lets me down. The priv is not too great but I need the apps sometimes :) keep up with those videos :)
Great collection jan!!
Me only owned a blackberry curve 8520 os 5, blackberry torch 9850 os 7, blackberry Z30 os 10 and now my daily driver blackberry priv android 6.0.1 ..
I'm planning to buy BlackBerry Z30 or BB Passport. How long this phones can survive from 2018 without BlackBerry os updates & BB support.
I own 9930,9790,Q10,Z10,Passport and Keyone. Always Wanted to get BB Classic but never got chance to buy one.
i had a Q10 and a Z30. the Q10 i used the longest, typing was a joy, the Z30 was better for consuming content and although didn't have the tactile feel of a physical keyboard, the BB virtual keyboard i loved.
Hey where can I buy blackberry passport silver edition in India?
Hey.. Jan.. I'm also the big lover of blackberry.... I have a question are u going to give away any of these..
I love your channel bro.
I bought the blackberry q10 in 2014, and it's been my daily driver till today. Still an amazing phone if you're not big on mobile gaming or watching videos.
Sadly I plan to replace it next month with a pixel 2, but only because I need a better camera for my business.
I think the BB10 OS is the best functional OS till date
I own a blackberry z3 still now
But in india blackberry phones were always very much expensive.
I do love the design of blackberry bold 8790, blackberry style, blackberry passport, and the recent blackberry keyone but wish keyone could be bit cheap in india.
i must say i really really loved my q10 and if a device existed like it but running android i'd buy it immediately. the small screen never bothered me because i am all about productivity when it comes to my mobiledevice. the speaker was just brilliant on the q10 the batteries that were delivered in an rechargeable cartridges were genious... i had spare batteries everywhere, and when my battery was dead i just swapped it and got back from 0 to 100 in a snap. there was so much good on the q10 I really miss but unfortunately most people have different priorities than I have so it would propably not pay off to launch such a device... bbos10 was also a really thoughtfully designed os - if it had been 100% compatible with android apps i would still run it without a doubt. today i have a black keyone which is also a worldclass device in my opinion but i liked the formfactor of the q10 a hundred times more. it was so good to use with just one hand and also small things like using the volume rockers with a long press to skip track were just lovely... so much good about the old ones - super sad that they can not be brought back. but still I am very happy to see that bb did not completely vanish and I am sure that they will be a success with their new devices coming out in 2018. And please never give up the physical keyboard - i really hate typing on glass. i would do speed typing competitions to proof that a physical keyboard can not be beaten in terms of speed and accuracy not even to mention that being able to type blindly is also a real game changer when texting while being in public places. As long as you build devices with physical keyboards there are a little bit less smombies on the go than otherwise.
Same here, I would use a q10 again,but since everything died on bb10 it's just unusable

So beautifully constructed, absolutely great OS, I the keyboard was amazing, but I think what the best part for me was that notification light (I know, weird right?). It was so sharp and clear and so many different colors! Honestly, if it wasn't for that little light I probably wouldn't have sticker with Blackberry. (Also fun fact, that phone helped me get a date. I was going out with a girl at the time and her father, a diehard fan of BlackBerry owns a Passport SE himself, learned I owned a Classic and instantly approved. Even gave me a case for the phone and everything.) After that incident I researched BlackBerry phones and was just loving all of them. I wanted to get a Passport next but stumbled across a video (it was yours actually Mr. Ole) from the new recently released KEYone. Man I fell in love with that phone. I saved up for it and bought a Blackberry KEYone Black Edition and it is incredible. Now I, at 18 years old, am a Blackberry enthusiast. I probably won't be able to buy any other phone now. My girlfriend's father loves me for it. I even bought her a silver KEYone (previously iPhone 5) for her birthday because she was marveling at mine and she is a huge fan of the phone! She messages a lot on her phone so it really suits her needs. Also we have matching phones and she thinks it's cute ;P anyway that's my BlackBerry story. Really love BlackBerry, hope they stay alive, and I'm super excited for the Key2 which I'm planning on buying this summer! Or maybe that Blackberry Ghost that some people are talking about... Thanks for the videos and for getting me into BlackBerry!

Hi I'm new to your channel and saw that you own a lot of BlackBerry. I was wondering if you know how to get a 10 year old BlackBerry to restart. It's not turning on when I press on "on" button. Any tips would be greatly appreciated
What all of blackberry types is waterproof?
My Storm, Curve 8900 9300, Bold 9700 9780, Q10, Passport. All in memories. Im the first of my peers to rock a blackberry (The Curve) and I was amazing. I still remember all the customization you cna get. Changing the casing and stuff. My last phone was the Passport and it was on of the best BB I've used. Good times in the CB Community. Good time of getting firmwares and hacking (if it was the word?).
Now I got the iPhone X and only reason I gave the 8 Plus to my wife and got the X myself is the gesture control which was similar like the BBOS. I didnt got the Keyone or the Priv is because of the price. But now with my new job, i'm waiting for the KeyOne 2/ KeyTwo instead which will be my MUST BUY. Very disappointed with the Motion, if it got the 626 or 660 or the 630 i'll get it. But the spirit of BB is the PKB not all screen like most phone nowaday.
Thank you Jan for bringing back the memories.
Ur blackberry world is very nice.. we are waiting for our upcoming blackberry smartphone world!!
Hey Ole, my silver keyone screen popped out also but they kept it and sent me a new one. How did u manage to keep your old broken one and get a new one from them?
That's because they were both review units
Jan Ole Helmbold oh yes then that makes sense 😁
Hi. I'm subscribed to your channel and love your reviews. Sadly I have sold mine BB Classic and Passport Silver edition. I would like to buy them again. Would you sell it to me or if you know someone that would sell?
Another cool video! I still use a BB Passport SE, it's starting to lose a lot of Android apps, but is still a great workhorse and I love the huge square screen! I'm looking for a good condition Keyone as I also need to use a lot of apps that are unfortunately disappearing from BB10. Passport is hands down the best BB phone ever made!
An android version of it would be amazing!
Nice one keep doing more videos , I too big fan for blackberry holding Classic,Passport SE, Keyone. Classic - the best keypad ever made by blackberry, Passport SE - the beast one still enjoying it, Keyone - No other options good phone to have, good battery backup only for apps i am using this one.
I currently use passport lmt red edition..had classic n Z10...waiting for new Android BB..Priv looks awesome but it Wsnt a major success I heard...your thoughts on it pls..tanx
I've been asking this question for a while now. Does anyone know of a way to take the blackberry classic shell and make it run on Android platform. Like the keyone. Don't get me wrong I love the keyone but I fing that the classic was a better balanced phone. Please some help, money isn't really an issue here.
Try downloading market place app
Hallow brother.. my Android version it's not working from December 2018. some apps not working whatsapp or Opera Instagram..
Hi! Can you help me please, does the Blackberry Motion have swipe to type capabilty like Keyone does?
What’s the first one name you pick up classic what
I'd kill for a Blackberry Classic
got 8800 series.nice and neat(only downside is im allergic to curve style keypad after that) then got on 9780 and 9800. later on getting a Classsic, now having eye on m boss Priv
The only BB phone I had was a Q10. I realy loved the build but I hated it because it takes minutes to start up when I power it on. I like switching my phone off at night before I sleep, and the 1st thing I do in the morning after waking up is to power my phone on.
Why they are not introducing blackberry motion in India ??
Same bro I have a collection of BlackBerrys too haha , Now I am using the BlackBerry Keyone Black Edition, BlackBerry makes you look like a boss
I just got a blackberry classic to see if it was any good and now I’m thinking of editing to it from my iPhone
Hey Ole , can you still get Instagram on the blackberry classic , if so how ? Loving your videos btw
Hey Ole, love your videos. Just 1 question, if I heard you correctly but you where saying why the BB Motion is your Daily Driver and not the BB Keyone and are you going to make the Keytwo as your daily ?
I use different phones as my daily driver, to fully test how they fare in everyday life. I now have the key1 and will surely use the k2 :)
Am still using my Q10. Have two. Recently added Google Playstore as a work around with connection problems with calendar and contacts.
Have not annoying warning in a week. Q10 convenient size, pkb, and a REPLACEABLE battery. Go Blackberry OS10.

How to use what'sapp on blackberry bold 9790
Very nice video I decided to buy BlackBerry motion
I have upgraded to BlackBerry K1 Black edition. I am totally satisfied.
Interesting you’ve never bought a Z30. Would have been a great addition. Next to the passport it was the best bb10 device.
Ole, you're a great fan! So powerful, so many BlackBerry phones! I have only a few, 9900 Q10 passport, no BlackBerry Android phone! A bit of regret, I did not buy more BlackBerry at the right time, and now I can't buy a brand new BlackBerry Priv Q20 and so on! However, I will try to save money to buy ketone! who makes me like blackberries very much!
9320, 9900, Q5, Q20 Classic, 9720, Leap, and now Passport. So that makes me a fan
i want to buy q10 now but i dont know if i can add Arabic language beside the english ! if u can help to chuck if there a way to add arabic even the keyboard in english it doesn't matter
I'm just curious what Features would you have liked to see in a Blackberry priv 2
I got the Bold 9900 and the Q5. I love both!
Why BB10 is will not working on October 31.what hapapers to BlackBerry company please reply me Jan ole bro
Blackberry curve was my 1st BB, had 2 of them. Expl0it3d the crap out of BIS back in the day, lol. Got a Bold 9810 for that sweet slide up screen, and compact form factor. I mean, it was just such a cool phone back then, imo. Current daily is a Priv, until my KeyOne Black edition arrives next week. PS, loved my HTC TyTN 2 before my move to BB's & Samsung's.
Key 2? Why don’t you have it ? Or do you
Still using my BlackBerry Classic :) I also own the iPhone SE, but my Classic is my daily.
Hi Jan, I am happy about your Blackberry craze., Because I am too one like, I have been using my Z10 and my brother a Passport for the last 3 years and My Z10 never gave a chance to hate it, simply because of the Perfectly mastered OS and Engineering Design.....I love Only BB's.....All I need to know is that at 5:13 of this video, a Whatsapp notification comes in your Passport, what app does that now in BB10, as there is no whatsapp support presently.
Hi Janiel, just download the Android app from whatsapp.com, install Whatsfixer from BB World and off you go. Android whatsapp runs flawlessly on my Passport SE!
Thank you Armin, That was useful.....If its Hub integrated, them its going to be awesome
Yes, it is Hub integrated, but shows only new Whatsapp mesage and sender!
I really enjoyed the video I'm rocking the keyone and love it but might trade it in for keytwo or whatever they call it!!
My first was the BlackBerry Curve 8330, and that Phone` was crap.. while it was a smartphone it was laggy slow and sluggish. Meantime, the BlackBerry Curve 8530 was excellent. Then I got the Torch, The Bold 9900, Playbook, The Z10, Q10, Classic, Z30, Passport SE, and the Priv..
My faves have been the Bold, Z10, and Z30.
I started with Z10 and fell in love with BB10 OS. But switched to android since whatsapp pulled out support and I could not book Uber etc. From my phone. But I still have it and sometimes use it as my second phone.
Hi jan ole should i buy bb leap in 2018?any comments about bb leap?
Make a video on BB z10...
Since BB fan I like your collections and I think you should try once BB Z30. And nice your own style video
8700 was my first and it has the best keyboard. The feeling is just better than 8310 8900 9788 9930 and priv, hope there will be a new one with the same keyboard of 8700.
I really suggest you try at least to get the 9000 and 9900 phones and make some retro review of them. I know a lot of people will love to watch that. Myself included. Plus they are dirt cheap to find. Also: the 9000 is considered the grandfather of the 9900 and the 9900 is the grandfather of the Classic. You can even make a story / compare video / history lesson between them.
I have the bold 9900 but wanting the keyone as well
Waiting for the successor of BlackBerry KEYone as it's too gorgeous in leaked images that you displayed in your previous video, currently working with BlackBerry Z10, I never wanted to move from BlackBerry 10 OS, but unfortunately would have to move once the BlackBerry KEYone successor is launched!
still I'm in interest to blackberry classic this model! but I don't find anywhere to buy new blackberry classic this model in bahrain!!!😞
Dori B Yeah that's true but in other country they don't sale! or shipping! Recently here coming all blackberry Android type mobile! but Blackberry classic model is not available!😞 I need only buy classic cz Android I already have!
Why all blackberry still available only in USA! not other country!😭
Dori B No it's not expensive! but maybe people are not interest to blackberry that's the problem! All types of iphone is available! selling everything ok only problem with blackberry😞
Hey Jan Ole, also als erstes muss ich mal sagen ich schaue deine Videos echt gerne, also dafür schonmal ein allgemeines Luke von mir! Mach weiter so.
Ich nutze BlackBerry seit dem Curve 8330 ich blieb lange am Bold 9900 hängen was meiner Meinung nach eins der besten ist.
Das Classic und das Passport wurde natürlich auch sofort gekauft und ich nutze beide auch noch einfach die besten Telefone auf dem Markt.
Ich habe lange die Android BlackBerry Modelle gemeldet weil es für mich einfach kein BlackBerry war, dank deinem Video habe ich mir nun doch das Keyone Black Edition gekauft und bin zufrieden damit, das Motion würde ich mir allerdings nie kaufen da es kein BlackBerry ist!! Es gehört einfach die Tastatur dazu und der Bildschirm! Es is und bleibt ein Arbeitshandy! Wofür ich BlackBerry sehr dankbar bin.
Danke aber für das tolle Video was mir zum keyone Black Edition geholfen hat!
