My first dislike for blackberry phones wasn't because of its features or OS nor its design but my first dislike for the blackberry phones was because of Nigerian girls

I remember at the peak of the blackberry wave then in benin city on this eventful day I was going through where all roads converge in benin, popularly called Ring road and I observed that almost all the girls were having/holding blackberry dangling on their left hands while their handbags was hanged on their elbows, and one thought that came to mind was why can't these girls keep the phones inside their bags like normal people do.

Just like today with the iphone we all know how super expensive the blackberry was in it's days of glory and how girls that can't afford to pay rent or buy textbooks in school could magical use the power of clitocurrency to purchase these machines.

But look at blackberry today and how they've been rendered useless like the puna of yester years.
Now iphone is taking it tolls on the puna of young/ill-matured Nigeria girls, what an endless cycle of wasted clitocurrency and old ragged puna.


RIP to the Puna that was scattered, babies born out of wedlock, abortions, STIs and STDs as a result of Blackberry being introduced to Nigerian girls

BlackBerry phones that turned babes to ho's and turned guys into thieves is now out of use? Indeed it's a vain world. Don't kill yourself for any material stuff.

THEY ARE ALREADY DYING TO HAVE IPHONE 13 AND 14.

BLACKBERRY HAS GONE BUT IPHONE TOOK OVER AND THE MADNESS CONTINUE.

Thieves are now pursing customers who purchased Iphone right from the phone shops.

BB can return its simple.
all they have to do is produce phones that run on Android and physical specs like techo.
The edge will be if they an produce phones that can run on the two systems.

Classic BlackBerry phones stop working today

You can no longer use that old BlackBerry phone sitting at the bottom of your drawer somewhere.

On Tuesday, the company will stop running support for its classic devices running BlackBerry 10, 7.1 OS and earlier. This means all of its older devices not running on Android software will no longer be able to use data, send text messages, access the internet or make calls, even to 911.

While most mobile users have moved on from BlackBerry -- the last version of its operating system launched in 2013 -- the decision to discontinue support for its phones represents the end of what was once considered bleeding-edge technology.

BlackBerry (BB) has been mostly out of the phone business since 2016, but over the years it continued to license its brand to phone manufacturers, including TCL and more recently OnwardMobility, an Austin, Texas-based security startup, for a 5G Blackberry device running on Android software.

BlackBerry's old school cell phones with physical keyboards from the late 1990s and early 2000s were once so popular people nicknamed them "CrackBerries." The devices became a status symbol and fixture for people on Wall Street, celebrities like Kim Kardashian, and even former President Barack Obama, thanks in part to its great reputation for security. At its peak in 2012, BlackBerry had more than 80 million active users.

But Apple's touchscreen revolution with the iPhone in 2007 made BlackBerry's offerings appear lacking. It tried touch screens and slide-out keyboard models, with little success. It developed a few phones with no physical keyboard, but those were missing BlackBerry's key differentiator: its tactile keyboard.
BlackBerry eventually gave up on its own software, embracing Android and layering its security software on top.

Really? You should specify the OS version of Blackberry to become obsolete because some haven't reached their End of Life (EOL) yet.
You can see the end of life for a particular version on their website.

Modified: Blackberry 10, 7.1 OS and earlier
Cool.


Please what of this very blackberry?? kiss

That's why I laugh at people chasing latest technology. You will be dead broke.

Companies incorporate "Planned Obsolescence" in their business models. Don't think it is a coincidence that your phone starts acting funny or stops working after 3 years. Worse, they ensure that some apps stop being supported to force users to buy newer gadgets. Our people who are obligate consumers do not have the brain powers developed enough to think in that aspect.

This shows nothing last forever, there's no need for one to kill himself, if cars like V Boot, 190 , 505 evolution and Santana etc could all be obsolete then we need to take this life gently.
The only thing that has lasted forever is the world of God and it can't be obsolete.

This is long-term. If you want Apple to drop in a few years, go the Nokia route. It's all about the execs.
