Using The BlackBerry Leap In 2021? | Still Worth It? (Full Review)

[@Space_Emperor]

Great video man! I absolutely love all the coverage of older tech, phones back then really were more unique than the common glass sandwich design we see now

[@sadlyken]

I can tell the Blackberry os is very stable, feels like iOS. Much stable than Android. In every app you can slide up to minimize it and it never gets frozen

[@GD-hm6lm]

BlackBerry OS far better than iOS

[@sadlyken]

@@GD-hm6lm right. Back to the day z10 was very smooth, it never got frozen, i could just swipe up from every heavy apps and games anytime no delay. Only reason is the CEO was not good enough, if he open source Blackberry OS we might have a very big opponent to iOS today

I use one, only as an alarm as nothing else runs on it. But its speakers are outstanding making it an ideal morning alarm

[@codrutx]

The BlackBerry leap was my favorite phone. It was so innovative, I loved the gestures, the consistency and the performance. The BlackBerry hub was genious. I'm sad BlackBerry is no longer supported :(

[@pengsimon]

I kept my BB Leap for consuming KZbin media and for the nostalgia of the BB10 OS which I really loved.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

It’s terrible now huh. The browser doesn’t act right on KZbin

[@pengsimon]

@@solidsnakemgs2180 Yeah all the KZbin mobile updates have made the experience on the old browser version not as satisfying. But I'm surprised the basic functions still work after all these years.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@pengsimon when did BB10 services shutdown?

[@pengsimon]

@@solidsnakemgs2180 I believe it was 2018 when they completely stopped server registration of all BB ID. BB World and BBM were no longer active on BB10 OS back in 2014 or 2015 but I believe were still available for Android versions on Key1 and Key2 until now.

Loves this phone, loved all the bb phones. Just think iOS and android are using what bb os was doing years ago. And you can also side load android apps on the phone too

Nice review, it just happen that I'm searching for a back up phone for call and text purposes, and I find one of this online, and immediately searching reviews here in KZbin, glad that I found your review, it really helps me... Count me as one of you new subscriber here. 👍

[@Techformative557]

Glad I could help! And thanks!

I liked the build quality and feel of the phone although couldn't get a lot of apps to work,still liked the phone.

[@StuBrownandLilyBrown]

Hi, long time subscriber and have liked every video. I have never commented before but have to ask, what do you do with the older phones? I have been a long time blackberry fan but never tried this phone which I am upset about.

[@Techformative557]

Hello! most of my phones get stored away in bubble bags for when I have my own place someday I will put them in a nice display case. Most of em are stored without their batteries so they wont leak as well....The Leap can be had for real cheap..Go on eBay, search blackberry leap and then bookmark the search..you will get an email when a new listing is posted..you can get one for real cheap if you keep an eye out! ...Also if you want to discuss tech with like minded people theres always my discord server with about 118 people as of now..everyone is very active and theres some great stuff discussed there, feel free to join! Hope you enjoy the videos!

El Galaxy S4 igual es otra reliquia y el blackberry z10 y algún Nokia lumia y un Sony Xperia 1.

[@devincurrie4145]

Is it possible to use Telegram/Signal on BB Leap? Would be great if it can work with iMessage but I doubt it. Also what about the Blackberry World server as it is down now. Does the lack of BB server cripple our ability to use the BB? Also what about the carrier band? I heard that 3G is being phased out soon.

Everytime i like then i watch.

[@henxzu5723]

Thank you

[@Ramen-ib2pt]

This was my first phone ever. It was pretty good

[@paulharrison8379]

I wonder if you could do a review of the fire phone which is a phone from this era that costs next to nothing and which unlike this phone appears to still be fully supported.

[@bajraktari3560]

i use one bb leap as mp3 player with bluetooth connection in seconr hand car .

[@sarathmohan5016]

Bro you've to drag the screen from top to exit full screen mode on KZbin

[@CAPTAIN-xj5dd]

Awesome 😎👍

[@mysticjaarse]

My first ever phone 😭😭

[@gurelgulmez1136]

Does BB leap wathsapp support it? I didn't see it in the video. Thanks

[@pengsimon]

I managed to get it to work on my Leap following this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iYOseJ-jnd2Kjpo

What to do if forgot security pin to prevent data erase?

[@jasondevault5066]

I got this one, but just use it on WiFi. Works great.

[@Mrbeaauty]

You can update the Amazon App Store, then it works fine.. But it’s true the Apps aren’t good anymore. I would download Instagram Lite, it works fine on my Leap.

[@Googelmail73]

Is it possible to sideload APKs? However BB10 seems to be based on Android 4.X.

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

My BB Z30 no longer supports email. RIP my friend I can still use the browser for KZbin and the music player which I love using the music keys but also the battery life has just been reduced significantly. Very stable OS. Camera never was the best and not very good to be Frank but gets the job done. Emails were very useful on this device

[@Mrbeaauty]

Damn I’ve also loved that phone so much.. I’ve used it for almost 4 years! But you can try a droidmail apk ☺️

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@Mrbeaauty it’s too outdated now the battery even after replacement the BB Z30 doesn’t last very long. The apps just don’t act right on the BB if they are android. Nothing like the built in apps and functions.

[@Mrbeaauty]

@@solidsnakemgs2180 yes the apps compatible is getting worse day per day.. but my father seems the be happy with using it for only WhatsApp, Instagram Lite, Facebook Lite and Spotify.. ☺️

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@Mrbeaauty I tried it for what’s app and it functioned well just no good on the push notifications also I felt the lagging was too much when starting up

[@solidsnakemgs2180]

@@Mrbeaauty also for Spotify that would overheat my phone and the longer I kept Spotify running the laggier it got when changing songs
