Landfills? It's funny how, once the market switched to cheap modern alternatives and BBM closed shop, Blackberry phones disappeared from people's hands. I remember mine got stolen by my godforsaken frienemy those days. Others sold theirs and less than a handful kept theirs for posterity. Blackberry mobiles have no use again? 5 Likes 1 Share |

One believable possibility is Nigerian businessmen transported tons of otherwise abandoned phones to fellow third world countries. Places like Indonesia, Vietnam and the Phillipines still use Nokia phones released in the early 2000s. 7 Likes 1 Share |

Our GSM service providers too contributed to its fall. There was blackberry packages before one can access internet. Their battery was also another major issues. Blackberry made us discover power banks. 6 Likes 1 Share |

😆 I wonder o. I still have like 2 blackberry phones at home but with bad screen. I can not even remember what they are called again 🙆♀️ The one with long slim battery. I used bolt 2 and one other bolt as well, can't just recall those spec again. "Give me yhur PIN and PINGING era ". It was fun actually. Honestly, I won't mind fixing the screen just for the fun of it. |
