I also suggested that Microsoft should have bought Blackberry instead of Nokia, rim technology at the time would have turned Microsoft Mobile into a corporate phone brand
I partly agree, and I also think if they were to go toe to toe with Samsung Galaxy Note or any of their top tier phones instead of going after everybody and telling people in that stupid commercial they were beta testers. If they just did as Samsung did with Apple they could have got more people behind them.
My blackberry bold survived a 6 meter drop (16,4 feet) and still lasted for a full other year. It was fantastic! I remember playing "Copter" for hours in the bus xD. Sadly, I replaced it with a Blackberry Curve that did not turn to be as good or durable. Finally, after only a year of the Curve, I went iPhone with a 4S.

Here's the thing about Blackberry phones. Tech reviewer love them. Very few really hate them. You ask any big tech reviewer if they've used one in the past and all will say it's unmatched at email. But for the public it's just not like that. They just want ease of use, big screen to watch stuff, full interactive screen for social media and gaming. Blackberry just isn't that kind of phone. I think the next gen will be very expensive and aimed solely at the corporate world. Hopefully the big companies will buy them in mass again.
The problem is big companies can't make your brand stay afloat. It's the ordinary consumers that make your product profitable. It's the phone that's in the hands of people you see in malls, buses, trains, offices and other establishments--everywhere.
@@tomons8059 And the reason we see mostly them phone is because they offer the features the masses want. Blackberry is only for a very small percentage that is declining as far as physical keyboards go. I love using Blackberry....... But....... Since 2015 it's always been my 2nd device. Always used for work only. Coz let's face it, Netflix on the key2 is not like it is on iPhone xs max is it.

The Z10 should have been the phone to rival the iPhone from the beginning. They took to long to react to Apple. They lacked innovation because they have the majority stake at the time. When they failed to innovate and stick to their same formula which included very glitchy devices it signed its demise. Too bad too cause I loved BlackBerry back then.
The Z10 failed, just like every all-touch BlackBerry failed. You don't buy a Berry to type on glass. There are better options from other manufacturers for that.

@Jessica Jessica I'm still using mine, works very well. But since no more security updates, I'll probably go another year or so before I switch. Unless something really catches my eye to change my mind.
I've been using Blackberry Passport for almost 6 years...THE best business communication device! I also got Passport Silver Edition when it came out. However, Blackberry sucks on apps, so I have both Passports for work an Android for play.
BlackBerry Passport is most powerful BB10 phone per specs. However it is too late to buy a BB10 phone unless it's going to be used as a secondary phone.
I'm pretty sure there'll be a sliding keyboard. Like, if you want to type you just scroll the keyboard down! Edit: I wrote this comment on the first minute of the video and did not see his take on the new blackberry phone.
I remember my first ever BlackBerry. It was a Bold 9000 which I got for work. I was (I think) 19 years old. I spent a good chunk of the morning setting up email and all that fun stuff.

Blackberry users loved them. They were nicknamed : "Crackberry's" because they were so addicting. It was a functional tool that helped manage the day. It was the first phone that allowed me to ditch my old Franklin planner. It was solid and durable, unlike modern phones covered in glass that need a cover or OtterBox.

When I used to work at a very large telco company back in 2005 to 2009, I handled the BlackBerry quality control division. I played around with so much BlackBerry devices and models which was so much fun. BlackBerry dominated the business Smart Phones before now its so sad to see they are no longer RIM's baby and seeing them struggling. Well.... NOKIA also went down the drain. I guess it's true on what they say ---- "When you're on top, there's no where else to go but down"
I completely agree with your idea, just like the PRIV. I don't really understand that TCL brought back the keyboard in such a way (KeyOne and KeyTwo). Sliding keyboard is the best implementation of physical keyboard.
BB10 based phones were solid. I owned a z30 and a passport before switching to iPhone and then to Samsung. To this date, I would choose BB10 based phones at a heartbeat compared to Android/iPhones. The OS on itself is very fluid with it's gesture based operations. At the least, I hope Android/iOS rips off the Blackberry hub feature.
I'm watching this on a silver Key2 right now. All the keys still intact and clear (never got blurry). I love the keys! Everyone who sees it asks to see it because everyone else's phone looks similar, all black screen. Mine has a classy touch keyboard on it.
It's old news now but it's noteworthy that we Canadians didn't think the iPhone wasn't a threat, it's that we couldn't get it. For a long time, only one service provider (Rogers) could carry the iPhone because it was GSM. In the few years it took the iPhone to add HSPA, those of us who wanted an iPhone but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't go with Rogers fell in love with our BlackBerry devices.
I want a Priv with a flat screen, biometrics, a stylus, a modern SoC, USB C, a crazy big battery, and a Pixel-like camera... I know... Never gonna happen... Sigh... The Priv was 1 or 2 iterations away, and was just super unlucky with its timing around the crappy 808 chipset and no native biometrics...
...they first need to move on over the fact they are insignificant anymore, better come up with very good midrange price affordably and when they get the momentum try coming up with flagship, the reason it died with tcl is its priced too much for its nostalgia, who wants to spend top dollar on a phone that might get discontinued in a few months of its release, be reasonable BB
Why they are so over obsessed with the qwerty keyboard? I mean why? An additional physical keyboard, which we don't need that much, instead of that, they can give a larger oled screen. I mean who they are targeting these phones?
I am using a Blackberry Motion and Key2. Blackberry is essential for having the most secure possible mobile phone. Blackberry is mainly used by people in high levels of government and corporations where true and strong security is required. The construction quality and durability of Blackberry phones are of high quality. The Blackberry phones of today are using the Android OS, specially developed for Blackberry.
What's so sad here is that the BlackBerry Key2 is SUCH an awesome device. I can out-edit so many electronic-keyboard users with this full-Android (or just-about full-Android) masterpiece. Unfortunately, it's an admittedly invisible device, and Verizon won't even support it. Too bad - I hope someone cracks the code here and gets a physical-keyboard device out into the market that people realize have the kind of incredible utility that my Key2 has.
Some people have gotten their KEY2 to work on Verizon by calling Verizon and telling the rep that its a KEY2 LE and that they provision it as CDMA-less. Others have also an LE and moved the sim card to their KEY2 and said it worked.
I think Blackberry should follow Nokia right now because both of them have a similar history. Nokia used to make windows phones and failed to compete against android and ios. But they are still famous for their old keypad phones. So they are making keypad phones with Kai OS, the phones come at a very cheap price of less than 50$. Nokia might not be doing very well with their smart phones but their keypad phones are selling very well, and also Kai OS is already having a huge user base to support its growth. Blackberry should make simple keypad phones with Kai OS or Puffin OS, also the price should be as low as possible (10 $ to 50 $) If they try to compete directly with other smartphones they will fail again. Once they have a strong user base they can start making high end premium phones just like apple and samsung.
I would love to see a modern jab at full qwerty phones. Two things I’ve missed most in phones; the flip and the physical keyboard. Granted I was surprised at how well I adjusted to touch screens even back in the day, I still never enjoyed texting the same to this day. My old Keybo 2 phone was the perfect blend of a flip with a big screen, and a full keyboard. It would be cool if they could do something like that with a playful hinge or something. (Also surprised tech reviewers seldom look back at the keybo?? I loved that thing)
Even in 2011, having a Blackberry Bold was a bigger flex than having an iPhone.. but the iPhone 5 and 5s just immediately destroyed BB when they launched...
@@dylanpower1438 yeah so? Read it again. Even in 2011, when the 4 and 4s were around the bb bold was huge.. when the 5 and 5s came out in ‘12 and ‘13.. it destroyed bb
The Torch was really nice and it last forever. The BlackBerry OS (10) was buttery smooth, but they take too long, the market already left them. The Priv is really nice too, one of the biggest screen they had in the market. Yep, those were the days of our lives.
I'm guessing that Indonesia's phone market singlehandedly saved Blackberry from completely tanking. When everyone else in the world were already using slab smartphones, Blackberry was still all the rage in Indonesia. I guess they really like that tactile mini keyboard.
Blackberry Forever! I miss my Blackberry Passport. I remember sitting in class watching the passport unveil event when I was supposed to be paying. Bring back the passport and make it an android version with top notch specs.
Blackberry was the celebrity phone, an iconic brand, it was what the “The hills” girls and all the IT kids in hollywood used back in 2008-09 If Blackberry would’ve just made a great first touchscreen phone we would probably have blackberry as the second mobileOS instead of Android.
I don't care for BlackBerry phones but it's nice to see that they refuse to die and are determined to make phones their own way. Make 2021 the year of BlackBerry and Sony phones!
Apple has invaded the Mobile Industry since the beginning of the 1st Iphone..Steve Job is genius..I hope BlackBerry will come back strong in this game..
I had a BB Leap. It was an ok phone for the price. Most recent BB phones are known to have mid range specs but high range price with a mediocre camera. Can’t see how this new phone can be any different.
The problem with BlackBerry is that they sell their phones at a premium price for mid-tier hardware. That may have worked when they were number 1 but not realistic nowadays. Would love to see them rise again.
I only ever wanted a phone with a physical keyboard. I waited until it simply was no longer a viable option for me. I grew up with my BlackBerry, and my next phone was pretty much the last Android with a keyboard. I’d love to have that option again.
I think it will be a fun if BlackBerry started creating BlackBerry OS again but as a competitor to KaiOS or its analogues, because that is simply the place in the market where keyboard is not considered as something weird, plus, system would be much faster and secure than KaiOS.

I guess it's true on what they say ---- "When you're on top, there's no where else to go but down"
I completely agree with your idea, just like the PRIV. I don't really understand that TCL brought back the keyboard in such a way (KeyOne and KeyTwo). Sliding keyboard is the best implementation of physical keyboard.
Same. Keep working on Priv and improving it. There is literally nothing like it. Battery on mine is shot but I wish I could use it.
BB10 based phones were solid. I owned a z30 and a passport before switching to iPhone and then to Samsung. To this date, I would choose BB10 based phones at a heartbeat compared to Android/iPhones. The OS on itself is very fluid with it's gesture based operations. At the least, I hope Android/iOS rips off the Blackberry hub feature.
This!! Everyone sleeps that bb had one of the first navigation gestures
I'm watching this on a silver Key2 right now. All the keys still intact and clear (never got blurry). I love the keys! Everyone who sees it asks to see it because everyone else's phone looks similar, all black screen. Mine has a classy touch keyboard on it.
It's old news now but it's noteworthy that we Canadians didn't think the iPhone wasn't a threat, it's that we couldn't get it. For a long time, only one service provider (Rogers) could carry the iPhone because it was GSM. In the few years it took the iPhone to add HSPA, those of us who wanted an iPhone but didn't/couldn't/wouldn't go with Rogers fell in love with our BlackBerry devices.
I want a Priv with a flat screen, biometrics, a stylus, a modern SoC, USB C, a crazy big battery, and a Pixel-like camera... I know... Never gonna happen... Sigh... The Priv was 1 or 2 iterations away, and was just super unlucky with its timing around the crappy 808 chipset and no native biometrics...
...they first need to move on over the fact they are insignificant anymore, better come up with very good midrange price affordably and when they get the momentum try coming up with flagship, the reason it died with tcl is its priced too much for its nostalgia, who wants to spend top dollar on a phone that might get discontinued in a few months of its release, be reasonable BB
Why they are so over obsessed with the qwerty keyboard? I mean why? An additional physical keyboard, which we don't need that much, instead of that, they can give a larger oled screen. I mean who they are targeting these phones?
Blackberry is like Freddy and Jason. They refuse to stay down LOL.
With a strong push towards privacy in the overall market, BlackBerry brand does have some weight behind it
Who doesn't want privacy for their smartphone?? Duh The elderly
I want Black berry to take LG wing's form factor and instead of a second screen a physical keyboard!.
Take my 💵
I am using a Blackberry Motion and Key2. Blackberry is essential for having the most secure possible mobile phone. Blackberry is mainly used by people in high levels of government and corporations where true and strong security is required. The construction quality and durability of Blackberry phones are of high quality. The Blackberry phones of today are using the Android OS, specially developed for Blackberry.
All I want is a follow up to the BlackBerry Passport. That still remains one of my all time favourite smartphones ever existed.
What's so sad here is that the BlackBerry Key2 is SUCH an awesome device. I can out-edit so many electronic-keyboard users with this full-Android (or just-about full-Android) masterpiece. Unfortunately, it's an admittedly invisible device, and Verizon won't even support it. Too bad - I hope someone cracks the code here and gets a physical-keyboard device out into the market that people realize have the kind of incredible utility that my Key2 has.
Some people have gotten their KEY2 to work on Verizon by calling Verizon and telling the rep that its a KEY2 LE and that they provision it as CDMA-less. Others have also an LE and moved the sim card to their KEY2 and said it worked.
I think Blackberry should follow Nokia right now because both of them have a similar history. Nokia used to make windows phones and failed to compete against android and ios. But they are still famous for their old keypad phones. So they are making keypad phones with Kai OS, the phones come at a very cheap price of less than 50$. Nokia might not be doing very well with their smart phones but their keypad phones are selling very well, and also Kai OS is already having a huge user base to support its growth. Blackberry should make simple keypad phones with Kai OS or Puffin OS, also the price should be as low as possible (10 $ to 50 $) If they try to compete directly with other smartphones they will fail again. Once they have a strong user base they can start making high end premium phones just like apple and samsung.
I would love to see a modern jab at full qwerty phones. Two things I’ve missed most in phones; the flip and the physical keyboard. Granted I was surprised at how well I adjusted to touch screens even back in the day, I still never enjoyed texting the same to this day. My old Keybo 2 phone was the perfect blend of a flip with a big screen, and a full keyboard. It would be cool if they could do something like that with a playful hinge or something. (Also surprised tech reviewers seldom look back at the keybo?? I loved that thing)
Even in 2011, having a Blackberry Bold was a bigger flex than having an iPhone.. but the iPhone 5 and 5s just immediately destroyed BB when they launched...
2011 was when the iPhone 4 or 4s was around.
@@dylanpower1438 yeah so? Read it again. Even in 2011, when the 4 and 4s were around the bb bold was huge.. when the 5 and 5s came out in ‘12 and ‘13.. it destroyed bb
BlackBerry don't die , it is in coma at the moment. Hang in there
The Torch was really nice and it last forever. The BlackBerry OS (10) was buttery smooth, but they take too long, the market already left them. The Priv is really nice too, one of the biggest screen they had in the market. Yep, those were the days of our lives.
No mention of Blackberry Passport, which was their best phone ever. I loved it.
I'm guessing that Indonesia's phone market singlehandedly saved Blackberry from completely tanking. When everyone else in the world were already using slab smartphones, Blackberry was still all the rage in Indonesia. I guess they really like that tactile mini keyboard.
It's not an Indonesian thing to prefer a real keyboard, but for anyone who appreciates the extra tactility.
I've never wanted or owned an I phone. I've been missing a BlackBerry soooooo badly. C'moooon BB, kick their butts with this new one!
Blackberry Forever! I miss my Blackberry Passport. I remember sitting in class watching the passport unveil event when I was supposed to be paying. Bring back the passport and make it an android version with top notch specs.
Blackberry was the celebrity phone, an iconic brand, it was what the “The hills” girls and all the IT kids in hollywood used back in 2008-09 If Blackberry would’ve just made a great first touchscreen phone we would probably have blackberry as the second mobileOS instead of Android.
I don't care for BlackBerry phones but it's nice to see that they refuse to die and are determined to make phones their own way. Make 2021 the year of BlackBerry and Sony phones!
The resurrection!! This has me hype! I love BlackBerry so much!!!
Apple has invaded the Mobile Industry since the beginning of the 1st Iphone..Steve Job is genius..I hope BlackBerry will come back strong in this game..
Blackberry key2 + ratio launcher + budget offerings would be a great combination
I have the key2 and i wouldn't trade it for any other smartphone
I had a BB Leap. It was an ok phone for the price. Most recent BB phones are known to have mid range specs but high range price with a mediocre camera. Can’t see how this new phone can be any different.
The problem with BlackBerry is that they sell their phones at a premium price for mid-tier hardware. That may have worked when they were number 1 but not realistic nowadays. Would love to see them rise again.
I only ever wanted a phone with a physical keyboard. I waited until it simply was no longer a viable option for me. I grew up with my BlackBerry, and my next phone was pretty much the last Android with a keyboard. I’d love to have that option again.
I think it will be a fun if BlackBerry started creating BlackBerry OS again but as a competitor to KaiOS or its analogues, because that is simply the place in the market where keyboard is not considered as something weird, plus, system would be much faster and secure than KaiOS.
I would love a well designed new Android based Blackberry!
I'd love for them to improve their blackberry 10 os. That OS was great. Must have bought 3 q10s
Coming in 2021 thanks to onward mobility
