What happened to BlackBerry?! 

How crazy that BB10 was mocked and now the gestures are used by all Operating Systems now.

Many people remember BB from their heydey with the Bold and Storm and so on but IMO I think their peak was with the Passport sporting BB10. To this day I still think that's the best smartphone with the best OS ever created. I'm so glad I was able to be part of that. It was an amazing experience and I got to try various versions including the black version, the white one, the red one and the silver one. I still have a red one that I watch 90's TV shows and movies on movies on - due to the square screen, 90's media fits that screen much better than today's phones.

Because so many of the social apps work via the web now and do not require apps, I would love it if Blackberry made a comeback as a privacy and security alternative to iPhone and Android devices using a web-only interface. All we really need is a decent camera!

I still have the Q5. Found it a week ago in one of my old backpacks. Surprised at how good it still feels and that the battery still holds up.

Would be also cool to see you using the blackberry classic in 2023. I just love the classic.

Your are the real OG fan. I watched your videos way back when 👌🏾

This channel is pure nostalgia

It is a pity that the best-ever Messaging device (hardware+software BB10) died at the beginning of the Messaging era. Today, 50% plus of our daily mobile activity is messaging either WhatsApp or any other app. I think some of the BB devices were great innovative engineering that could stand by 2023 standards easily, but the RIM management made so many mistakes that resulted at the end of BB. I know many people that stop working from their mobile devices and don't care anymore which device they have only because it is impossible to work (type) on a glass. It was so convenient to type, and many people remember it. Today, on either Android or iOS, we only consume data we don't work on it.

Good to see you back posting, man. Looking forward to hearing about all the different passions you decide to share.

Well be back Jan...been a while. I really miss my BB bold 9900. Most ever solid BB phone 📱

Welcome back! In BB entertainment news, there is a movie out soon about the rise and fall of BB. Excited to see that! I live not far from from BB headquarters, so it was such a normal occurrence seeing everyone walking around with one in their hand. I'm going to have to bust out some of my old BB's and review them! Ah, memories...

I have a Blackberry Classic and am still using it. Some of the Apps don't work anymore but texting and phone calls etc. still work fine. I love the keyboard and hope that one day that Blackberry will bring back a new phone!!

Actually discovered your channel a few weeks ago. I like your content so it's good to see that you're restarting the channel. Looking forward to your next video.

I miss my Blackberry phones; was a hard-core user from 2005 to 2020

Happy to see you back...

Good to see you back.

Its good to have to you back bro.

Hi, I use to see your videos regularly. And today this new video popped and I saw it. Initially I did not recognise you but when you showed the clip of you in Introduction I recognised you. Welcome back.

Let me just say that RIM should NOT have ditched the BB OS for the Android OS. They should have continued and evolved their BB OS into the mainstream of phones today.

Glad to see you're back!! ❤

Glad your back

I am so happy you're doing this. Thanks a lot 🙏

Thanks Jan about this video. First of all thank you for actually making me fall in love not only with you but with the world of Blackberries . I actually years ago when "we met" through your videos I ended up purchasing my blackberry classic but short after they discontinued WhatsApp and then now as you mentioned the servers. So thank you big big thank you it was very good years . im happy to see you , looking good and still loving technology as much as I do ! keep it up #blackberryloveforever

I STILL LOVE BALCKBERRY DEVICES,THEIR DEVICES ARE BRILLIANT DESIGN,PREMIUM.CLASSIC AND IT'S OS JUST AWESOME..I wish in future,their will be blackberry come back

Hey man. Long time. You are a real one. Great times with blackberry

Nice Ole! I too have iPhone 13 miniature. And nightstand holds my old BlackBerrys ❤

Glad to see you again!

Wecome back!! Good to see you!

Good to see you.

so warm. thank you, unknown friend

Good to see you after a long time, you look great!

Welcome back buddy!

It’s good to see Ole

I used to follow your channel when i was using my BB Classic. Very useful channel. I had a Blackberry Nostalgia while looking for a new phone. I wish that Blackberry to release a new Blackberry Priv. An updated version.

Great video and i still have many of those phones which i treasure and i remember all of ypur videos that were a pure delight

Hello Ole. Good to see you again. :) This is from Sri Lanka

Still using my classic! And my torch. Even purchased a screen and keyboard for my classic to replace them. As long as I can use the classic for mail and phones, I will keep it!

Damn Ole where have you been man? Good to see you're back man.

I think it's a great idea to relive the channel again but I think most of us want to see not only just another Android BlackBerry branded device, but instead the original BB10 OS running nowadays, how it performs, what still works, what not... 😉 👍

Nice video. I know your channel was centred on blackberry however I followed you based on your Beovision review

WELCOME BACK

I still can't believe that Blackberry is gone in the Smartphone Industry. I've bought a Blackberry Classic, I feel the OS, Blackberry OS 10 is very good and I hardly find any lag. Everything went smoothly, if the Blackberry is still there. I'm sure the product and OS can compete with APPLE iOS

Great video. Thanks

Miło że Wróciłeś, Ja po Key2 próbowałem Xperia 5 , Samsung Note 10 i dopiero Pixel 4 dał mi namiastkę BlackBerry, potem zamieniłem na P6 co okazało się słabym posunięciem , iP13 mini który wg mnie jest zacofany systemowo względem nie tylko Androida ale i BB10 potem Zenfone8 i obecnie Pixel 7 , który jest obecnie najbardziej optymalnym smartfonem na rynku 🤔 Pozdrawiam 👍

My absolute best Blackberry is the Passport. I totally enjoyed that phone.

waiting for new videos have a wonderful day man

I am hoping for a limited edition 25th anniversary BlackBerry phone. It's nice to dream lol

good to see you...I still have z39,Passport,and Z10...still using z10 for emails..

Que bom ver você novamente!! Abraços 🇧🇷

You are super charming. Glad to see your new videos.

Loved the Key2 only hated the Cam. Now I also switched to iPhone and think about using my classic as a weekend phone to do a bit of social media detox.

The blackberry bold, 9000 was my favourite! Ole have you seen the trailer for the upcoming blackberry film?

Actually, I still use a BB Classic on a daily basis as an organiser when working from home. While most apps do no longer work, Hub email, Calengoo, and Evernote are still running. As long I'm not on the road, this is still sufficient.

Hello, It's a good news that this youtube channel has not died out. I also have several blackberries: Bold 9780, Classic, Passport, and I'm hesitating for a Blackberry Key2 which, in my opinion, could still work for several years even if the updates stopped! It would be interesting for you to give us tips for using this smartphone and why not the best places to buy it and the good addresses or websites to get spare parts to repair it.

They should have just updated and worked on BB OS and updated the blackberry classic man I loved that phone and is still my favorite phone

I used a BB Priv for almost 2 years as a work phone. I miss using it so much!

You must see the blackberry movie released about a month ago. It has somw inaccurate facts etc but you get the whole story in general (till 2010)

After the Blackberry Key 2 they released the Blackberry Evolve and Evolve X and the Key 2. You never talked about them and you could do a review of those phones

Don’t ever change a thing! 👍👍❤️🥰❤️❤️🥰

Blackberry movie is in the works...mentioned on Bloomberg yesterday

Wow, you grown up!

I still have my Passport. Loved that phone. Have you tried a Samsung Z fold? Cheers...

Krass, nach so vielen Jahren ein BB Video. Läuft.

Welcome back, Jan! Since I don't know where/who else to ask this question to...here goes: I am still using the Blackberry Key2. I had one for a few years when one side of the back of the phone started to pull away and I worried the battery might be leaking or something, so I replaced it with the (RED) version of the Key2 in September. After just 7 months, the same thing is starting to happen. Any idea what to do about this? Does the battery just need to be replaced or is it just a faulty component? Thanks in advance if you're able to assist!! I really don't want to give up my phone and spent quite a bit on this latest replacement so if there's an easy fix I'm curious! 😊

Will you ever have an updated video on the Beovision 11?

May I ask, in what way do you consider Key2 a step back?

Just 9 years ago Jan looked so young! 😂😂😂

I only had one BB and it was one of the best phones I've ever had. My Pixel 3 is one of the best phones ever made and happens to still be my daily. Some strange reason they kinda remind me of each other in terms getting stuff done.

I remember you when we both were child

I still use my Key2, but it needs replacing; I love Key2 over all the Blackberries that I own.

I'm still using BlackBerry Key2 till now and I hope is manufactured Phones that support a physical keyboard are being remanufactured from BlackBerry cause I don't know how to use a phone that supports a full screen, I still love the keyboard shortcuts and others , I hope that they will remake the design of the BlackBerry Passport and PRIV again, but with high specifications suitable for 2023

miss u bro

Hey! I still have BlackBerry Z10, unfortunately I did a security wipe but after that the phone won't go past the WiFi connection page and won't start, so just for the old times sake, will you make a tutorial on how to bypass that so that I can just use it as a second phone for calls and texts?

I was using my K2 until two weeks ago until the physical keyboard stopped working. Some apps in the last few months were not working anymore. I miss using it. I had the same issues with it shutting crashing. I was able to mirror all my blackberry stuff on my Ulefone 12 5g and my TCL 20.

I was ur follower while using blackberry from india

Also, you have aged like a fine wine WOW

I am a big fan of blackberry own one Q10 fews days ago I turned on and amazed to see that it is working perfectly fine. If blackberry launches again I will switch back to old style keyboard.

I heard a rumor that BB's were the only phones that were issued to the secret service. I guess this was due to their security features.

I still have my BB Passport SE with me. It's still working though. I just feel kinda sad about what happened to the company every time I look and hold it in my hand. I hope they will release something new in the near future.

I had my BB Z10 side by side my iPhone 5. I was into BB Z10 more than I liked my iphone 5 that time. It worked smoothle especially the gesture on BB Z10

Today is MAY 13TH 2023, i got my first blackberry phone its blackberry priv, i've never used kind of those phone before

I still Miss the gestures on BB10OS

Just to correct you real quick, the Key2 was not the last phone BlackBerry made, that title belongs to the Priv as later phones were made by TCL but under the BlackBerry license

Can you make a video about Porsche design P'9983?

It's so sad. BB prices are getting higher and higher. So 1 month ago I decided to change my Key2 for a Noting Phone. I alway have used BB phones, for me were so exclusive and I really loved that. People used to said "Does BB manufactures the phones just for you?". Hehe. So funny. Nothing Phone give me something like BB gave me time ago. Perhaps because most people have an Iphone. So that isn't exclusive like BB. Thanks for be back! ;)

Where have you been?

I miss the passport silver edition,😢

I’m sad that blackberry couldn’t survive but still I have my old blackberry phones

I still miss my blackberry

I follow your journey with the Key2. Even the community in the BBME group 😊 You can join also...

You should be fine using the Key2 for everyday use, I was using the Priv until last February when I got the KeyOne Black Edition, the only issue I have run into is that blackberry hub is no longer supported by Gmail so I can't add a new gmail account to it, I had to change my password for one of the accounts because I couldn't remember it and now I can't re-integrate that gmail account again. I really wish there could be a new blackberry because I do enjoy the physical keyboard even though I'm getting more used to the touchscreens especially the iPhone 12 Pro, it's width has resolved some of my typing issues.

Have a "Classic," and a couple of Q10's. Still operates in a limited fashion. Use of T-Mobile. I expected better from BlackBerry, but I was wrong. Use my Unihertz Pocket. It is good but do not like Android. BB OS10 is better. There was so much unsubstantiated hype about OM and their crap but it's now dust in the wind.

I am watching this with a Key1 right now 😅 Did you hear about the external BlackBerry Keyboard (BB Q20 Keyboard with trackpad) from tindie? I am curious how this works for example for writing longer texts. I have an iPhone on the side and the virtual keyboard still sucks 🤷‍♀️

Omg..haven't seen you in a while

I was a HUGE Blackberry fan, and I kept my Blackberry Classic until they finally ended support for it. Every time I took it out people would say, "You still have a Blackberry? I loved my Blackberry" Nothing I've had since then compares. The best phones I have found since then are made by Unihertz. Very unique, very good phones at excellent prices. But the Blackberry Classic was still the best phone I've ever had.

Yes. What happened to blackberry. My last blackberry phone. Passport silver edition.

waaaait... you're german? also I'd love car videos...

Still using Priv❤

I really miss my Q10!

The KEY2 was when they were ON to somethig new, such a shame.
