BlackBerry Classic vs. BlackBerry Q10 in 2024 | Comparison & Review

[@TashfeenBukhari]

I recently got the Q20 used and the previous owner thought it better to reset it. The complete setup notification was so annoying primarily because I am using it for calls and messages and unnecessary notification light or buzz just irks me until I check it. Thankfully though, I found a hack on how you can turn on reader mode and when you go to the network page where it usually gets stuck, the reader will read out various options including skip and you can skip it then, same thing for one of the last steps in the process. Once I did that, I haven't faced the setup notification again and it feels so much better now haha great video and comparison, I thought about getting a Q10 but couldnt find one in as good condition/price as the Q20, but im really happy with the Q20

[@LauraMalvoyante]

Thank you so much for this tip! I am going to try it out straight away. The notification drives me nuts after a while. Especially as someone who was addicted to checking their phone anyway.

[@TashfeenBukhari]

@@LauraMalvoyante I feel ya!! In the beginning I thought I could live with it but after a couple of days it just started frustrating me too much I followed the instructions on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/jH6pfH2mrap8pJYfeature=shared But there's other videos like it as well. The process itself was p simple and took me 4-5 tries because I missed the touch input timing smh but all in all took 15 minutes and now I live in peace knowing I won't get that darn notification again haha

[@LauraMalvoyante]

​@@TashfeenBukhari thank you so much for sharing this tip! I finally got around to doing it today and I no longer have the setup notification 🎉 It took a few tries and I kept making simple mistakes. I may do a tutorial on it myself to better explain to people so they don't lose time on the nuance of each step. I will also test this method on my Q10.

[@TashfeenBukhari]

​@@LauraMalvoyante I'm so glad to hear that!! 😄 Anyone who owns a Classic or any BB OS 10 phone could benefit from this. I know how annoying that notification can be and can turn people away from the phone itself (nearly made me stop using the phone haha) so please do make and upload a video about this tip so more BB device owners can be aware 😌 Edit: Just saw your video and it's so good and explains things in such a clear way. Great video!

True, but I am happy to see someone give these phones a second look… when I look at these phones I am always reminded of the limitations of modern economies or civilisations. I think people still like these types phones but they’re not many enough to make business sense. So, I have to ask is there or, can there be a nonprofit organisation that can offer new phones of this type? Or a business that can operate on slim profile margins to produce phones like these?

[@muttaking354]

@@iraklikh6619 Agreed .

[@abdulrarraman]

There are some communities that still use these phones, they find solutions to bugs like the one you mentioned and exchange programs that still work today. Yes, it is the father of smartphones, and it is a shame that it was discontinued.

[@gerardocuevas2742]

I love how the internet provides useful information like this. I haven't thought about Blackberries for years until today, and I found this perfect video when I needed.

[@rsr3959]

1) Blackberries aren't dumb phones, they were and remain designed as secure, productivity devices -- especially important in this age of constant distraction. 2) BB10's heyday has gone and past especially with respect to the App World, but it's still arguably the most secure "smartphone" OS available. (Point being, BB10 was when BB wasn't just a productivity device and it had more entertainment than BB7 devices including Amazon apps, but was still the paramount of security). Circa 2020 BB's CEO John Chen stated as much and was the only device authorized for HQ employee use in their evolving business of IoT security... 3) Android 4 apps can still be sideloaded AFAIK, and some App World apps APKs are also in the wild. 4) Yes, the Q10 is a better form factor than Q20, and roughly same form factor as the Blackberry Bold that also had the toolbelt. Ran the Bold until the shutdown as my primary for a decade... The toolbelt on the Classic is clutch however -- but also don't forget BB first had "gestures" in BB10/Q10 that controlled on an Android 4 system, when Google didn't have gestures until Android 9 IIRC (and the newest BB devices -- Key 2/Key 2LE -- both capped out at Android 8.1, so never saw the gestures functions). 5) You're lucky you're in Europe where using old devices don't get you booted from networks. In the US, that's a thing... Some old BB enthusiasts are using UK/EU sims to keep on keeping on. 6) BB10's Hub is and remains awesome tech, and it's unfortunate that most calendar and contact syncs no longer work. I think gmail email still works, but the rest -- not so much. The loss of consistent calendar and contact sync is a "bridge too far" for day to use for me... YMMV.

[@arcadian7litre]

You can bypass the setup screen by enabling the screen reader and when asked to connect to wifi, double tap skip icon when it shows and then turn off screen reader and proceed with setup. You need to be fast on the draw for this procedure. The phone will try to update and after a few minutes, will say setup complete. No more setup notifications. You will occasionally get get setup BlackBerry ID but that is not a big deal.

[@chrisacosta1031]

I am still using my Q10 in 2024 mainly for to-do lists / tasks in the calendar. Aside from my computer I prefer to type emails on my Q10 (as opposed to my iPhone). I have a Key2 and Priv stored away. I like the Priv a lot and if it had an updated OS, I would use it as a daily driver. I don’t think I will ever get rid of my Q10. I like the form factor. I have it in a nice black Otter case too just to protect it and the case also makes the phone feel even more robust.

[@LauraMalvoyante]

I am glad to know you still use your Q10 over the Key2 and Priv. I love the Q10 for notes and as an MP3 player. I had a Priv and it was a really unique and amazing device. Unfortunately I have it away. I was considering getting a Key2 but the prices are too high. If I find one under $200 I would get one.

[@AmazonEnforcer]

How are you syncing your Q10 calendar to your other devices? Microsoft/Outlook services are no longer compatible, as an example. And when you type on Q10, how do you either send or transfer your electronic mail messages?

Hey, your channel is great! Keep up the good work! I have a number of Blackberries, Q10, Classic and Passport. Tried them again as daily drivers but sadly, they are slow... However, I miss the time when I used them all the time

[@morrissey07]

I've used a blackberry since the introduction of the blackberry 9650 all the way to the blackberry key2, although my blackberry key 2 broke I replaced it with a blackberry key 2 Le which I use daily. I've noticed a resurgence either due to popularity or nostalgia that there have been users on eBay and AliExpress that are selling new blackberry q and blackberry classic in different color ways. That interests me a lot. I'm happy to hear that they connect to making phone calls and text messages because that's really all I need in a dumb phone. 😮

I think it will depend on the carrier. They connect to 4g.

[@mamelukmrcaj]

I still using Q20 as daily....still love it still big whaaat when someone saw this device.....i dont use social shitty apps only email sms and calls.

[@LauraMalvoyante]

It's really a beautiful phone. I love Blackberry and I will never stop using them. I don't use any social media anymore either so this phone is perfect for those who want to enjoy their life away from a screen.

[@highrolla142]

I thought it was shut down and not sble to get service

[@LauraMalvoyante]

It is shut down but the phone/texting function still works. There are people still creating APKs for them as well

[@AmadeusAlmighty]

I miss these phones. I wish Blackberry was still a viable option.

[@LauraMalvoyante]

Me too

[@jackdominiak445]

10 years ago, I liked my Blackberry, wouldn't use it these days Apple iPhones Pro all the way now....wouldn't go back, but in it's hay day Blackberries were great

[@UsmanMughal-hc7rg]

Will whatsapp work on this phone??

[@LauraMalvoyante]

No not anymore 😔

[@alankingchiu]

Bold 9000 is better.

[@AtelierDBurgoyne]

Why?

[@tknapp9302]

BB7 OS, more productivity, less entertainment, better tool belt. .... funny that the classic really isn't "classic". I sold my classic in 2015 after 4 mos of use, went back to the bold 9900

[@Wave_Commander]

They don't have 4G / LTE so they can't be used in a lot of regions anymore. The Q10, Q20/Classic and Passport are the main options for use on modern networks

[@subsidiarybyages]

Welcome to BlackBerry by AGEs 🎉

[@joycemabelya941]

I used blackberry 20 years ago. Like class c blackberry Q10.

[@Nomad-XA]

If only they could mix the iPhone with blackberry. I did enjoyed the blackberry when it came out but the iPhone is great for videos

[@b1r2y3n]

I want my BB back!!

[@scotty666tt]

Q20 is a nice device you just can use it in the states

[@ahmaddaraghmeh9521]

Me all of a sudden want to have one 🙂🙂

[@IRK-pd7lc]

AZERTY keyboard is wild

[@LauraMalvoyante]

Yeah I have an AZERTY and a QWERTZ and a QWERTY. The AZERTY is the hardest to use for sure 😅

[@Andrew-l4h]

HOW DO YOU USE THIS IN 2024?

[@CivilGoaatUPSC]

Thanks... What about what's app , Gmail....is there any problem with these...?? Have you try it

[@LauraMalvoyante]

I couldn't connect my Gmail in the accounts but I can access Gmail via the browser. Apparently BlackBerry no longer meets Google's security criteria (logical since the phones no longer get security updates or OS updates)

[@orangeyellow-me1pz]

​@@LauraMalvoyantegreat way to stay disconnected.

[@baileyIrishCream6984]

10 years was thinking 16 year's lol

[@Christianthemagician_]

I really want to get the q20 im tired of the iPhone lol

[@brunoAgostinho7]

I can solve this problem with the loop :)

[@zaiah06_83]

Passport was the best bb10 device

[@narcesioteixeira8492]

Very nice video. You look like female John Malkovich😅

[@michaelwalker8250]

I sold my keyone recently and I regret it.

[@LauraMalvoyante]

On no. I know that feeling. I gave my Priv away and I regret that too.

[@Just.Here.For.Comments]
