    Hello Adam. This is my first comment regarding videos that you make on Blackberry type content. I just wanna say a big Thank you for your work in maintain Blackberry "World" of fans. I used Blackberry Classic for 6 years and now I'm using Key2 and could not use something without a real keyboard. I'm not worried about Key2 usage for next few years. I bought two extra batteries, just for backup repair reasons. Anyway .... in few years I really do believe I'll get a new Onward Mobility Blackberry phone. Success on all your UA-cam work. It is fantastic :) And ... happy birthday!

      @@TechOdyssey They need to bring back the blackberry QNX OS. I can see a market for something more secure and customizable for enterprise/gov that can sandbox the Android data beast to hit other demographics.
      Sailfish ran with the torch, similar user journeys and experience but they dropped the ball on aesthetics in my opinion it's a bit of a dog's breakfast it needs some polish and leadership.

    Hello,
    Thank you for everything you do for the Blackberry community. I live in Europe, in France, I always use my Blackberry Classic. Since January 4th, I don't see any difference: I can call, receive calls, send / receive sms, receive my Gmail notifications. I don't use any Blackberry services since a long time. I'm just limited on some websites, because of a certificate problem, but this problem has been around for years.
    Bon anniversaire !

    DUDE - F/T job, 6 kids and YT channel!! Mad respect for you and your dedication to helping us BB diehards. I was using my Classic until Jan 2022 then I switched over to the Key2 LE. I am on Verizon and Key2 LE works fine. I walked into corporate store on Jan 4th and talked to manager and tech guy to ensure they would accept the Key 2 LE and they did. I told them they are still offering the Key 2 on their business side (still on website today) so there were no arguments they simply put in a 4g Sim and it worked. My classic worked fine without all those updates for years so I will keep this phone until literally the last minute. Plan is to upgrade to OM phone.

    Thank you for this encouraging video. Just got here after the video that Onward Mobility has shut down and there won’t be a new BlackBerry coming out. So yes, it very much feels like one hit after the other. First, in fear my Q10 would stop working after having it since it came out, with the end of the BB10 software, then got a used KeyOne because I needed a reliable BB backup, but thinking I’ll get the new Onward Mobility one, so no need to invest big… and now this. Why does BlackBerry hate its loyal users?why am I being punished for liking their reliable and great, secure phones?

    KEY2's last patch was actually August 2021. That's only a few months ago. Out of those only the Priv is actually losing support being capped at Android 6, and I only noticed issues fairly recently when a few of my apps (like Slack) don't support the API level anymore.

    • @TechOdyssey
      @TechOdyssey  2 роки тому

      Only the 100-2 got the august patch. The other models and the unlocked 100-6 were like September of 2020. The motion I believe was November 2019, and the KEYone was April 2019. Very few people got KEY2 security patches up until August 2022. And I said in the video that the phones aren’t losing android support for compatibility. It’s the blackberry related apps and launcher.

    I've used BB's for over 18 years - I just prefer a real keyboard. I think Blackberry as a Company have shown little loyalty towards their customer base. I currently use a Key2 and love it for its OS, build quality and the size is just right.
    I'm seriously thinking of going to the Unihertz Titan for my next phone (which you reviewed - thanks) as it is very similar to the Passport I used previously. My concern is how long it will be supported or how often security updates etc will be issued as this is a "Kickstarter project" ?
    Some of us don't want a new phone every year we want build quality, value for money and reliability and will be loyal to a brand if that loyalty is reciprocated.
    (I've taken a lot of jibes from non BB users over the years but remained loyal to the brand and never wanted an iPhone and did want a physical keyboard. I feel very disappointed with the way Blackberry has "progressed").

    I still have Blackberry Motion which has no problems except that I had to change the battery after it died. Now, I'm back in business as the phone still works great and still controls any new apps and their security of the apps. One thing that I don't like about Android, is that I have 2 tablets that I purchased some time ago and they have already stopped updating and on one of my older Samsung Tablets, any new apps loaded on it, fail.

    Don't know if anyone can help me, I have a playbook, I hadn't used it for a year, and I thought I could use it for videos & music. Unfortunately I couldn't remember the pass, and it was wiped, just after the 6th. As it started the reload it asks you for your wife pass & try's to go to a page to register, evidently Blackberry took those pages down, so essentially it's a brick. Does anyone know of a way to bypass or to skip this step, I'm not looking for big updates or, anything special, I just want to continue using a great piece of hardware.... that was once a pretty nice & expensive piece of tech... anyone?

      So what does this mean for those of us paying BlackBerry Subscription for the Play Store Blackberry apps each month to run their programs on our Android phones such as Samsung, Pixel, etc.? Will BlackBerry maintain the apps in their Play Store subscription service or will BlackBerry end the subscription service when they end support for their software?

    I AM stressed. In a recent video you sort of/almost said something about Motorola. If ever I cannot use my Key1 and cannot get a new BlackBerry, that would be my second choice. The very tiny Motorola with the three-letters-per-key was my first cell phone. The battery was easily replaceable, and I was just about to order a new battery when the BlackBerry caught my attention. Please tell us something about Motorola currently. Thank you! AZ
