And I greatly enjoyed writing each and every one. Thanks for graciously providing me the opportunity. You're the best!
lol people make fun of me for it all the time but it's a great phone for actually getting things done. I can type without looking and never spell anything wrong, the battery life is great, security/privacy is second to none, the BlackBerry Hub (compiles all your inboxes, text messages, calls, and other communication apps into one place) is such a sensible feature I couldn't believe it when I found out that isn't standard on everyone else's phones, and since 2015 they've been on the Android OS so the only downside of the older BlackBerry phones--fewer apps--is no longer an issue. The BlackBerry OS was much more intuitive though.
You, my friend, are a Luddite. And there's nothing wrong with that.
Eh I'm not sure I'm a Luddite, I have the same sentiments as you--I'm not opposed to technology, I just don't like modern tech features that are implemented just for the sake of implementing them without actually providing any functional benefit, and in many of the cases we pointed out, it's actually a functional disadvantage compared to the old-fashioned way. I wouldn't be surprised if within the next 10 years, Apple or Samsung or whoever comes out with a keyboard phone marketed towards people who use their phone for work, and they'll brand it as a new feature.
I'm 34. I don't care how uncool the brand is, it's just better.
Do you have an actual rebuttal to anything I said? Any time someone pokes fun at my BlackBerry, they are never able to give a reason why their iPhone or Galaxy or whatever else is better.
I love it when people’s assumptions, even mine, are crushed. You’d think, as often as our assumptions turn out wrong, that we’d learn. But we never do. 😀
Being 75, should I take offense to that statement?
Why take offense? There is nothing that can be done about it. But some younger stooges don't understand that.
I vote no, but your mileage may vary.
your mistake is valuing popularity and opinion of others over @robcac26 's own opinion and value scale on why he likes blackberry over other phones. i love my touchscreen phones, but there really are some days where i wished I had the blackberry physical keyboard again. a lot easier to blast out a text message without looking during a meeting.Do I really need an argument for a communication device that has 0.2% market share? Their top phone still has a hardware keyboard. The new 5G Blackberry phone was cancelled when Onward Mobility went tits up. Blackberry Messager was killed three years ago. The operating system is Android. The phones are just as expensive as Androids with fewer features. TCL ended it's partnership with Blackberry two years ago. The company's main focus is on cyber security, not phones. The phone part of the business could end tomorrow. Or next year. Who knows? Reviews of the phone are, at best, okay. I doubt you could even find a blackberry phone to touch and look at at any store in America - Best Buy or any of the carriers.
And this just came across my search of Blackberry reviews more current than 2017. Literally the only actual news from Blackberry this year.
BlackBerry Limited has agreed to pay $165 million to settle a class action lawsuit that alleged the company exaggerated the success of its BlackBerry 10 smartphone line.

Yea - From ten years ago - GM is toast - You are watching the collapse (for the 4th time) and don't even realize it.From trolling Tesla to 'WTF mode': Here's why GM insiders say the Hummer EV marks a change for the automaker
The overall mission was to rapidly create a "fun" vehicle that would draw attention to General Motors and its new EVs.www.cnbc.com
LOL…page out of Tesla’s playbook
So in other words, the answer to my question is no.Do I really need an argument for a communication device that has 0.2% market share? Their top phone still has a hardware keyboard. The new 5G Blackberry phone was cancelled when Onward Mobility went tits up. Blackberry Messager was killed three years ago. The operating system is Android.

Others can laugh at me for being different, but I laugh at others for being the same.
None of what you said in that post is a reason why a BlackBerry is worse than any other phone except for having fewer features, which I don't even think is true. What features am I missing that other phones have? In fact I'd say that with a physical keyboard (which doubles as a trackpad on some models) and the BlackBerry Hub, BlackBerry actually has more features, and with better security and better battery life.
I gotta laugh at people giving you a hard time for choosing an atypical phone. I mean, if it's light teasing, fine. But we appear to have at least one guy actively judging you for your choice in a cell phone. Oooh, what a bad person you are! 😀
Pretty accurate, I’ve experienced it in the cold weather, not the hot weather yet. He could plug in at a supercharger for a few minutes and get that 10% back so he doesn’t miss any rides, but I’m sure he’s figured that out.
My experience with the Model 3:
😂 relax with your philosophical tweets, we’re talking about using super outdated technology. Blackberry 😂😂😂
Yeah, so outdated it has all the same functionality as phones that came out this year. 🤣
I find it hilarious too, I never thought grown men would care so much about what kind of phone some person they've never met is using. To try to get back on topic, I wonder how long until people still using ICE cars are treated this way by EV owners. At least when it gets to that point, I'm sure I'll be on the EV side (or perhaps both sides with a modified '05 Subaru Baja for weekends 😎).
