    I used to be a BB buff back in 2011 when iPhone were starting to get big time. I switched to Blackberry. I had nearly every model. The best for me was the Passport. BB were the best devices ever. It is, still up to this day, very hard for me using a normal smartphone. I have the Galaxy Fold. There is a new keyboard device coming out in 03/25: The minimal phone. I will get this when it comes out. Great video

    The BlackBerry Q10 is one of my favorite phones of all time. It felt solid and snug in my hand. Internally, it’s the same as the Classic, but with better features: AMOLED screen (yes it makes a difference in side by side comparisons) and a removable battery. The spare battery along with its charger could even be used to power other USB devices! The Q10 also took a step forward and did not have the BlackBerry “toolbelt” row of function keys nor the optical pointer button. Running on the new-at-the-time BB10 operating system and a modern touchscreen, the admittedly iconic buttons became completely unnecessary. While diehard BlackBerry users criticized the lack of the toolbelt (which was still built into the BlackBerry Classic, btw), brand new users to the platform would not miss them, coming from a world ingrained in full screen controls for several years now.

    I miss using my BlackBerry 9300 Curve. Heart broken that it stopped there BIS and BES services. Their security is second to none. And while many continue to talk smack about BB, I remind them that it's because of BlackBerry, despite it's downfall, it paved the way for the smart phone industry. Though the company is no longer producing phones, they made the right move to focus on security software development, especially for the automotive industry.
