Me too! And I’ve got pretty much the same experience. So nice to have this thread and, actually, a forum on FunkyTime website. And the website itself! This things become more and more rare. Anyway, about BlackBerry.
Last Autumn my Sony Ericsson W850i started turn to turn off within a couple of minutes on call and I’ve decided that it is might be the right time to upgrade to some modern communicator. That’s how I found out that BlackBerry Classic exists and began to wonder if it is the one. After a brief academic YouTUBE research, I’ve stumbled upon one of the Sam’s best videos: why is he still using his BlackBerry in 2020. That was the moment, when I found them all: Sam, his amazing YouTube show and my best communicator ever. Actually, I never understood why somebody can watch a youtuber in his good conscience, until that day. So, I ordered some used and repaired BlackBerry Classic for about $64.25 [charger and even headset included!] and joined a fast closing club of proud BlackBerry Boys.
Now I use it for almost a month and love about it almost everything. It is not perfect, but neither do I. The camera is.. well, better than that time, when I’ve filmed a squirell on a tree on Sony Ericsson W850i and when I came home and watched it, there was a five big brown pixels moving on a number of big green pixels for about half of a minute. BlackBerry’s camera is much better than that and, if you are not filming ducks on the ice when it is -15°C, then you might actually have a picture with an easily recognizible objects on it. In case with ducks, turns out that -15°C is enough to turn it off faster than you can get a good picture. Looks like even in this we can agree: we both prefer Spring and Summer.
And when I fixed BlackBerry World, I began my journey to the places where no man has gone in a while, except Kalle69, who apparently is on the same mission of exploration. I can agree, most of the apps are useless, but still — they are fun to excessively download and discover what is it all about, and then delete it most of the time.
I do not have time to continue my story and you don’t have time to continue to read it, so I’ll end it like that. Maybe some time I’ll provide additional details on my experience with BlackBerry in 2021.
