I’m using BlackBerry Classic in 2024! What happened one year later

[@IAmJe]

I miss BlackBerry so much. I want to cry. I hate the cellphone market - its so stagnant. Apple ruined tech for actual tech savvy people - the iPhone is a curse on creatives -

[@eys3d358]

Wdym apple ruined tech☠️☠️. Apple started the smartphone revolution which inspired several other companies like samsung which are made for tech savvy people. And apple has made more actual innovative technology than blackberry ever did. And if you hate the smartphone market, then dont buy a modern phone and continue living with an old phone with keypad because apparently its “” tech savvy “” to use an old barely functional smartphone 😑😑

i still think that it was waste to lose blackberry. they could’ve been one of the best industry that could’ve compete with apple and samsung. i mean they could’ve still produce those kind of smartphones with physical keyboard, it would be an appealing to maintain this thing nowadays, it’d made the phone unique into their design.

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.

[@NYTOC]

Huh.. I've got some stocks, silly enough when that rollercoaster happened two years ago.

[@xenotiic8356]

Man, I wish I had access to 2G or 3G here in the US. I hate the modern smartphone landscape, and all the well made dumbphones were released before VoLTE was mandatory. While not a dumbphone, I was hoping I could at least use an old Blackberry as a more focused sort of device, but it seems that isn't an option either. I know the Unihertz phones exist, but those are much cheaper and less classy in build and design compared to the old Blackberries. It's a real shame.

[@razafimahefajeanpaul3633]

till now I am still using Blacberry classic like yours,this is my favorite phone but problem its has lost serve of apps, I want it back

[@MissGradenko1914]

1:30 To bypass Blackberry Protect, just flash your phone with the wrong autorun (from another model other than yours) to brick it, once the device only has a flashing red light and does not respond, flash it with the autorun indicated for your device , it is a really risky method but one that I did successfully on my Blackberry Classic even with the Blackberry servers running, I hope it helps you

[@shoukonishimiya9931]

Blackberry devices require an activation ticket like iPhone. and there's no way to activate them without blackberry servers on because they're just like iPhone for security purposes.. but once the blackberry is activated, it remains activated until it's factory reset unlike an iPhone, which will just freak out and go back to the set up screen.

[@Bohdan_HI-TECH]

BlackBerry activation is not like iPhone activation. Also, BlackBerry activation can be bypassed, even though servers are shut down (it works even if BlackBerry Protect was enabled)
