BEST-Bang-For-Buck Dumbphone 2024 - My 'NEW' phone for the next 40 days [Lent 2024]

[@theTechNotice]

What are you giving up for lent this year, if you're doing it? 🤔

[@andyMutale]

The possibility of finding a cheap gpu which isn't essentially eWaste

[@moldyapple1789]

caffeine

[@user-li6ns2lk3z]

link to seller?

[@GethinColes]

I miss my windows phone. I really think Microsoft made a massive blunder. It could've been the best dumb phone. Phone, text, email, maps, reminders and alarms: that's all I want

[@ivanthemountainman9291]

Literally just got my old windows phone out the attic to use as a dumb phone. Still trying to find ways for emails and WhatsApp to work on win8.1 but at least maps work 😭.

[@orangeyellow-me1pz]

This black erry does all that. I have a version of Hoogle maps running fine on my BlackBerry

[@drumsticknuggets5123]

Agreed Best phone And had the best predictive text ever. Accurate and learned your quirks and phrases to make texting so much faster and easier. I miss that windows phone.

[@grominwithrob1339]

I thought the Windows phones were the perfect balance.

[@axethepenguin]

@@ivanthemountainman9291WhatsApp will never work on that since they stopped supporting it years ago

[@deckarddwizardd1909]

I wish more dumb phone manufacturers make more qwerty phones. I want 4g/5g and KaiOS, but not T9. It is easier to type using QWERTY

[@sargera1]

Even on qwerty it's still better have a t9 to correct Minor typo

[@McLOVIN_69]

Actually there was one in India called jio phone 2. Looked exactly like this blackberry but with kai os and 4g. Unfortunately it was quite expensive, around 60 bucks. I have never seen it in person. Don't know if it even came to market.

[@H____enry]

Had one of those. Miss that perfect keyboard every day.

[@nicktayloriv310]

I remember my Crackberry days, also the Palm Pilot days too. Still have both of them but haven't used them in a very very long time.

[@TheMajor180]

BBM days were elite.

[@forfashire]

unfortunately if you live in the US, this phone is not an option to use anymore. these fall back into 3g/2g for calling because they do not support VOLTE. here in the united states 2g and 3g have been shut down. such a shame.

[@kiiamarie3881]

So sad I’d love to get a BB it’s a good balanced phone

[@madhatterentmt6146]

​@@kiiamarie3881black berry keyone and keytwo are still useable in the United States as I'm typing from mine

[@AutoGarageTV]

It has 4g lte, but whatapp and other apps no longer support it since the end of 2023. You can even see the 4g band signal bar in the video itself

[@dipe6376]

It literally says 4g😂

[@forfashire]

@@dipe6376 just because it is connecting to the 4G tower does not mean the phone supports voice over LTE

[@BabyBugBug]

I miss my old Razr. Trusty and the battery lasted forever. No one bugging me with social media. Loved it.

[@katmancilla5777]

I still have my blackberry classic and I love it. My browser works but yeah that's about it other than texting and calling.

[@yooowhatsgood]

tbh i’ve been looking to get the blackberry Q20 classic simply for texting and calling to completely stay away from social media, so i’m assuming this is perfect for that?

[@sargera1]

It is.but web based coz os is so ancient Get fennec browser on this (the only browser that still works well) Their audio out on tws is crazy strong even then a new droids

[@gustavsmg]

You know you get it with android and have a regular service through android options left and right. Great battery I can do everything an android can do. I loved the keyboard also and the touch pad as well...they need to just up their game with phones and they'd sell better

[@juliaevans9521]

Do you mean a BlackBerry can be converted to run on Android instead and talk to Google Play for apps? J

[@BrandonQuinonez-me8jg]

@@juliaevans9521wondering the same

[@pedroandrade2398]

I only got an iPhone original SE because my BB had faulty internal. I loved it!!!!!

[@Desean7690]

I love that blackberry wow ❤

[@Uomodargilla]

It was one of the beat phone on the market, hope it can get back in a way

[@slickgaming810]

I wish Apple or Google would buy the rights to the blackberry classic and just upgrade the OS to iOS or android so it could be used with everything. I would buy it so quick

[@t00862]

Dumb phone?? Dude this was the smartest phone of its time.

[@flamingburritto]

I had this one! And it was a unique experience using one. Absolutely loved it. Shame BB couldn't keep up with android :(

[@LearnAndMore-of2ue]

is the call quality good?

[@johnnylego807]

From what I’ve read there are ways to flash it to get all or most of those things working.

[@buffalorevolver6473]

Exactly what you wouldn’t want to do though

[@FigleyCreative]

I love it! I wish they still made them!

[@dezz26]

Blackberry really dropped the ball when they had the opportunity to beat Apple to the smartphone market

[@urlocalgrasshair7899]

It seems blackberries were more dependent on services, from what I know the 2007-2009 nokias still work fine. My aunt's e66 can still browse some of the web, you can get youtube "sort of". I'm planning to get a nokia e72.

[@milodemoray]

I still have a Blackberry Q10, I use it for notes.

[@pinkflamingo8806]

I had one of those… you over paid 😂

[@godchi1dvonsteuben770]

The Samsung 390g is a Samsung clone of that phone, and being as it isn't Blackberry, EVERYTHING STILL WORKS. Bluetooth, wifi, 4g (no LTE) micro SD, micro Sim, and $20 LESS than the Blackberry Classic, at only $15 on eBay

[@Q-1424]

That's not a downgrade!

[@JustAYouTuber1991]

I miss my BalckBerry Bold.

[@moldyapple1789]

very nice

[@kwesi3000]

I bought one brand new and it couldn't connect to the network

[@mukam3]

perfect!

[@ESiler]

Does BBM still work? Just curious

[@xIJudaS]

How did you use it for half a day if you said nothing was working?

[@juliaevans9521]

None of the apps were working. So it wasn't a smartphone. Just a dumpphone with QWERTY keyboard.

[@HasanQureshi-zr6ci]

Does it support hotspot ? Pta taxes in Pakistan is too high so we carry 2 phones together😅 One smartphone And small phone for text,calls,and hotspot

[@ashimjyotidas8458]

Can you please share the buying link.....I want to ship this to India ...plz help me ...Will be of great help

[@shabbii]

have one and used it half a year ago. spotify an whatsap was supported loved it soo much sadly they shut down support for both apps

[@majorskies7091]

i would still use this if the legendary blackberry hub would still work... they retired it in jan lasdt year.

[@c.l.9344]

Smart phone's dumbed down our society. Along with social media. I want a Nokia brick phone again.

[@baddboo]

Does this actually work in the US?

[@johnnylego807]

I want one in 2024, is it worth it?

[@Sideways_Singh]

I bought one over a year ago as a dumb phone, n the battery used to last 9 days lol. Now starting few weeks ago it has a issue n it stays hot n dies in 10 hours

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah, mine started dying after a couple of hours now...

[@sargera1]

Only bad thing bout this is theyre not removable batt like q10

[@craigmoore3951]

The best ever

[@rickgrimes931]

I wonder if you update to Linux and keep the phone/texting functionality?

[@SandeepAneja-sa]

Is that OS still working.. i thought they bricked every single BB based on OS10

[@ProjectBerry2.0]

no,they are still usable

[@futuristicperson3375]

Maps and 2fa is what I miss on dumb phones

[@arquitectura23]

LINK ??

[@luiscolon7060]

Why do people feel the need to get a dumb phone? I have a pro phone I average 2 hours of screen time.. literally all u have to do is delete social media show some self control and have the best of both worlds

[@padre.simeao]

Are these still usable?

[@ProjectBerry2.0]

yes,they are

[@advlive]

what model is that? so many classic available

[@theTechNotice]

q20

[@richardc5100]

Is it data hungry, looking for a low data phone like really low data usage

[@sindbadsailor7868]

I had this… i loved it… sadly it got stolen

[@vitofranzini]

Please add a link to we can buy this. I really want something similar, but I didn't find 4G capable old phone which isn't smart. Is this run android? If not, This is my new phone!

[@theTechNotice]

You might have to search around abit, but it's called Blackberry Classic Q20 and it's 4g :)

[@vitofranzini]

@@theTechNotice Thanks 🫡🫶

[@modansh_]

I will buy this phone in 20$, will you sell me?

[@jipillow1]

I am giving up watching american football for lent

[@ethanwanless3346]

That's still kinda a smartphone

[@northernswedenstories1028]

I have classic and q5. Both good but battery sucks now

[@theTechNotice]

Yeah, same problem here. It wasn't like that at first but from about 3rd week battery sucks!

[@jenpsakiscousin4589]

I thing the ketone and key 2 still work. They run android

[@lawkmask1able]

Bro does whatsupp and messenger work on it?

[@sargentmcbadass]

Any ability to install an Android build? Something light weight

[@c0rxpseb0i13]

Tbh that's kinda a waste of money it isn't compatible today with the current apps it'll be good if you want a basic phone

[@ashquackk]

[@neverppreciated]

yip downgraded as well to the nokia 3210. why you say? because apple killed the mini iPhone, i love the small phone, it does calls and text as it is all i need. i have the mini iPad at home for the other stuff to do over the net so why get a bigger phone?

[@mukam3]

do you have some games?

[@user-oj5oq4jz1x]

What a waste....I know a friend who could hook you up with some software that would turn it into something valuable again...trust me you would never put it down ever
