I remember being in Business Class on a flight and some joker strutting by on his way to Coach Class saw my Blackberry. He said loudly, “Is that a Blackberry? Is that a Blackberry?” I was wondering what the problem was with this catfish. I guess I wasn’t hip enough for him because I didn’t have a smartphone.
I had a large client, the head of the department thought it was strange someone using a Blackberry. I switched to an I-phone 7 (I think they were 10 or 11 at the time). I still have it. At least 8 years old.
