why I use a blackberry in 2024 (as a programmer)

its the last phone that blackberry ever made before , they died 💀

blackberry didnt make it. tcl did. edit: also blackberry still exists, they pivoted to a software/security company.

Blackberry made the best productivity device. The hub, the red LED notification light and it handled better 15 years ago than current phones do today. True push email and a file system that made email attachments a breeze.

[@koi.091]

⁠@@NXRIIIIIi have an iphone SE 2016 too, so i can tell! the latest iOS that can be downloaded is 15.8.1 and it works great! (this includes widgets) i really like SE cuz it's inexpensive and easy to repair. as a person who doesn’t understand technology at all, i was able to disassemble the swollen phone and replace the battery MYSELF!! i think after such joint trials, i will not part with SE until death therefore, if you are thinking about buying, i recommend it!! AND I PLAYED IT IN SEKAI!!!!!! (i have not idea how it work with genshin, cuz I have a 32GB version..)))

That's an elegant design right there. At least it's different and it has its own personality. I also use an old phone with an outdated Android, but what matters is that your apps still get updates, including the web browser, web engine, and other stuff from Google.

1:22 man I wonder what in his mind when he said "the vibration motor is pretty good"

[@RanenPo]

If you desperately want a keyboard you can also consider the Unihertz Titan, Titan Slim, or Titan Pocket. They come with Android 10 or 11, which is probably their only advantage over the Key2. Otherwise, the build quality is mediocre, their chipsets are quite slow these days, the software has none of the in-built Blackberry suite features present on the Key2, and the Titan Slim even has the audacity to have no headphone jack.

[@Dan-zr6fk]

Went for a Titan Slim nearly a year ago after my Key2 suddenly stopped living, has done me well so far, would recommend, only problem so far is a small patch of dead pixels 🤞

I’ve been using the the key2 For probably four years I bought it for like 50 bucks. It was perfect. I sold it recently only because it was the international version so if I hit any combination of keys, it would just call 911 and there was really no way that I could disable it I’ve read every thread. But I fucking miss it. It was great.

[@dovs96]

Nice. Samsung used to have attachable qwerty-keyboards for Galaxy S and Galaxy Note models. It worked like magic: no BT, no Battery, nothing. Just attach it to the lower part of your screen and UI changes, OnScreen keyboard disables, and you are ready to go. Kinda sad they don't do that anymore.
