Probably wouldn’t work on 5G systems...............
Yeah. I’m waiting for a decent phone that can take/make calls, but running GNU/Linux (RasPiOS?). This phone has the physical form I’d like to see. But Android is one step below Windows11 in my book (my current phone is Android, and it s!*ks).
BRAVE AI:
BlackBerry Phone Compatibility
BlackBerry phones that run on legacy operating systems, such as BlackBerry 10, 7.1 OS, and PlayBook OS 2.1, are no longer supported as of January 4, 2022.
This means that these devices may not function properly on today’s phone systems due to the decommissioning of BlackBerry’s infrastructure and services.
However, newer BlackBerry devices, such as the BlackBerry KEY2 series, which run on the Android operating system, are still functional and supported.
Despite this, users of older BlackBerry devices may experience issues with app compatibility, security, and network support, as carriers continue to update their systems.
Some users have reported that their older devices still work, but this may not be reliable in the long term.
Need one that wipes their behinds.
Thanks!.....................
awesome. would like one but how long will this company produce it? More work and cost in a physical keyboard which I suspect contributed to Blackberry’s demise.
If it has a Rotary Dial, I’m on it.
Might. Found out that a number of older phones still work, even after the provider screamed for a year that a new phone was needed, over and over.
I had a Blackberry Passport. Was my favorite phone ever. BlackBerry 10 was a great and innovative OS. A real shame they had to fold. Android sucks....all your data belong to us
I have one of those still, and as well a 15c, 11c, and 41cv
the one I use mostly is on my computer
“If it has a Rotary Dial, I’m on it.”
I remember there was a kit too
I don’t like the square screen. It’s aesthetically unpleasing and it means videos will have to be cropped or resized downward.
Bring back Motorola Star-Tac. Best phone I ever had, 1997, in Egypt, worked great.

Still have a working 41CX.
Haha. My dad gave me his when I went to college. He tried to offer me his slide rulers but I passed. I wish I kept that slide ruler.
I miss the roller ball on my crackberry.
