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.

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.

[@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.

[@SenatorMailman]

[@NXRIIIII]

I had one two years ago but it broke , does it still have updates ? I know it had before i stopped using it , it was really powerful for an old phone ( i played genshin on it too 😂)

[@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..)))

[@wongkhk]

@@NXRIIIII Work gave me a locked down iPhone 12 so I still carry my 2016 SE as a personal daily driver. Bought in 2018 for $200CAD and it was a 128G one! I love it. Smaller than a mini. yes, still getting updates from Apple.
