I always loved the name of the brand itself.. "blackberry" makes me mad that it's now just a joke in the eyes of others, I'd love a brand new super advanced one, and the ability to say "I have a blackberry" again, as a phone that's better than what I currently got, which isn't the case sadly.

BlackBerrys downfall was it’s hardcore fan base the “crackberry” users, who kept demanding that blackberry sticks to its outdated hardware and software design and the executives stupid enough to listen to them and mock iPhones for being toys. I used to love my blackberry but as soon as the first iPhone was launched and got my hands on one it was clear as day that BB would be in the mud if they didn’t change, which they didn’t until it was way too late-2013.

[@Heliocentric]

Hell yeah we wanted that "outdated" qwerty keyboard !! I loved typing on the passport.

Blackberry just turned into an older galaxy note with a keyboard😮

[@The.Ghost.of.Tom.Joad.]

I miss my Blackberries. My first was for work. Loved it. And since I hated Apple's too-cool-for-school marketing, I used them for my personal cell when I switched from flip-phone to smart-phone. Plus, the data plan was way less for the Blackberry for whatever reason. To this day, I miss the physical keyboard because I fat-finger all the time on my Androids.

[@yashmandla1234]

It's hard too think thate was a time whare blackberry was like the 3rd main pillar of the smartphone industry, and now their gone

[@jillbythelake]

Times changed, not just the phones. BlackBerries were known as businessmen's phones, with doc programs and email. Most phones now have that, and so many people just text rather than email. BlackBerry 10 was an elegant OS but is sadly a thing of the past.

[@L30NBL4NK]

You summed it all, Blackberry just stopped making their phones in 2022, and then we need physical keyboards back. I hope they will make small pocket laptops with integrated phone these days. Writing and phoning on a small-scale Windows desktop is my hecking dream since my teenage period. I'm tired of writing texts by stroking a glass screen.

[@acnixon]

BlackBerry Key2 looks so good it just --- too bad it just wasn't compatible with my service provider. I would buy a PKB phone by BlackBerry anytime it makes a comeback.

[@TheShowgunofHarlem]

I've been a BB user since the early 2000s. Last year I received a notice that the BB phones will no longer work with my network. I was forced to purchase a new phone. I've since been looking for another company with physical QWERTY keyboard with no luck. Unihertz only works with Verizon and T-Mobile

[@jillbythelake]

I can still use my Key2 on Tello, a MVNO of T-Mobile (ultra cheap too).

[@SteltekOne]

02:00 As propietary as BlackBerry was in its hayday, even requiring that you get special subscriptions from your cell provider to use the damn things, they never resorted to clinging to a proprietary charging cables! (The oldest BBs I know all had Mini-USB ports and chargers in the early 2000s.)

[@h3684]

A lot of people are forgetting that this company was the foundations for apple and Samsung. So sad BB went broke. As they solid built/quality devices. Remember when they all included cases etc. miss the BB era as no other phone of the time beat it.

Some companies like Nokia and BlackBerry failed to understand the new market trends, refused to adapt to new technologies, refused to change and thus vanished. Nokia refused to recognize Android and BlackBerry refused to give up traditional looks. Samsung made some great changes since its Galaxy line. Apple may also face same in the future in very long run.

Blackberry could have done well in the modern world today. But chose to fiddle their thumbs for years as Apple and android continued to eat up market share. They waited until 2013 to make a serious change with their blackberry 10 OS. That was 6 years after the first iPhone and 5 after the first android. By then it was too late and so much market share was taken up by the big 2. If they took apple and google more seriously years earlier they’d probably had still been around, thriving, and still had a good chunk of the market share today.

Instead of buying BB phones people should look into BB stocks that are at 20 year lows and many hedge funds seem to be getting in. I feel there is an accumulation going on because their price to sales ratio is just at 2.07 now. Which is extremely cheap. The reason the stocks dipped so low is because BB decided to raise 194million in cash to pay for maturing notes with fresh notes at 3% interest. BB seems to be big into Software Defined Vehicles with their Blackberry IVY, Blackberry Sound and QNX software and Hypervisor. AWS seems to be a major partner on the QNX. At 1.67billion market cap it is only a matter of time before someone buys them outright.

They could have saved it if they didn't overprice the key2 with the BB Tax. The phone was more expensive than other, better performing options and had nothing going for it other than the keyboard. So you could get the more expensive one with your beloved keyboard but suffer with performance or buy a better phone and get used to the touch inputs.

[@DragonOfTheSkies]

It’s interesting that almost no one knows BlackBerry the company is actually still around, and at the same time a lot of those same people are using BlackBerry products every day without knowing it. BB shifted to developing the software used in modern vehicle infotainment systems and nearly have a monopoly on that market. So If you have a car made in the last decade, you’re (literally) daily driving a BlackBerry.
