The Decline of BlackBerry: What Happened? 

It was NOT a consumer phone. It did business stuff (Calls, Text, E-mail) to an acceptable degree and that was it. They couldn't even be bothered to fix or improve on the simplest of things. A big one for me was the lack of a lock screen or easy way to prevent accidental button presses without the case that covered the keys or setting up a passcode. The recessed "lock" button had to be held down for a few seconds until the screen faded to black. Then the phone was "locked" until ANY notification would unlock it automatically leaving it open for accidental button presses.

i dropped them like a bad habit when their network went down and left me without a phone. bought an iphone 4 the next day.

They were fantastic handsets the Blackberry's I had the Bold!,Storm, Z10 and Z30 and still have them.

I remember how they was wiped out from market over night. Happened that they started co.operating by spy agencies. After that everyone left

I carry a BB 9220 or 9320 with me everyday as a back up phone. Their start is lightning fast and when I struggle to use my Samsung display in direct sunlight my Blackberry comes to rescue. Nowadays they only do calls and texting, yes. But I will carry one forever. Any Blackberry, even the most low end model, is an excellent phone.

The iPhone that was showcased at that time with Jobs on stage was rumoured to have only partially worked, if only Blackberry had known this. The iPhone was not innovative, the touchscreen was something that Nokia had been toying with way before iPhone-some of the last NSeries handsets had touch screen features. Nokia and Blackberry were light years ahead of iPhone - it was the USA that was behind the times, not the rest of the world. iPhone is pants, 15 iterations later and nothing much has improved, but it is slowly but surely catching up to the rest of the world. Android is way more advanced and now that Apple has lost its monopoly type hold over the industry, a lot of people will move back over to Android because no one will want to pay extra for a handset that is priced according to its brand, as opposed to its features and what it is able to do?

Maybe it’s just me, but I’d go back to a blackberry keyboard any day. If you had one, I’m sure you agree that no tech today beats the feeling of scrolling down that touchpad and the feeling of those keys. It was beautiful! Add the notification light too 😭😭😭❤️

Todays phones still cannot copy and paste or even select text properly...

I didn't even notice it was an AI thumbnail until I considered the scale of the phone to the laptop lol, nonetheless, it's a nice video.

The Z10 was my first smartphone and the Key2 my last Blackberry. I still miss it and feel still disappointed by OnwardsMobility by even not getting started with a restart of Blackberry.

This was a great phone and the operating system was brilliant, but like all things at the end, something new comes along to dominate the business world and this will happen to the iPhone with something new will come along to replace it.

great video man keep it up

that ghastly background music
