BlackBerry Classic in 2021: One More Year of BlackBerry OS! By StevealiciousTech

Hey, what's up fellas, I'm also female fan, Steve Alicia is here with the blackberry classic a favorite of so many and for good reason, but with the blackberry services coming to an end January, 4th 2022. This is the last full year we'll get to enjoy the functionality of our blackberry, classic we'll talk about what it was, what it is and what it can be for you in the next year today on this edition of stevelicious tech, and we're back as always. Thank you so much to all the new subscribers up over 2400. As of the taping of this video, if you're, loving the blackberry stuff, but trust me, there's plenty coming next year go ahead and give that subscribe button a tussle. It certainly means a lot to me. So let's talk about this one here, the blackberry classic and for my money, if this were the blackberry that came out in 2013 as opposed to the q10 and the z10, if they had a lineup in 2013 of this guy right here and the z30 and then maybe a year later, the passport, it's possible.

You know nobody knows what could have happened, but it's possible that you're talking about a very different blackberry and perhaps a blackberry limited that is still making hardware. But let's talk about something real, quick. Somebody commented on one of the other blackberry videos that they were just now within the last week parking their bold 9900 because they said blackberry, 7 was just too limited. Xperia Mini wasn't getting it done anymore, they're just parking it this week. For one of these guys and I'll tell you this right now.

That is the minimum level of dedication. If you want to be a blackberry fan on this channel reminds me of that Japanese soldier that didn't surrender until the 70s. If you're not in the jungles of Guam, typing out emails and memos on your blackberry, then I want to know you anyway. So let's talk about this one here and the difference is between the classic and the q10, the build quality number one is what strikes you, because this is the spiritual and the true successor to the bold 9900. This is the one you want.

If you got used to that premium feel then this is the device that you want to have in your pocket. After that metal, nice, the rubberized texturized back that you've come to love with blackberries very nice. The keyboard is excellent. The buttons there was something odd about not being able to have functional buttons when you're dealing with such a small screen because look at it this way. Okay, you power up you're scrolling through stuff on this screen.

You look at look at my thumbs to take up half the screen so to have an an a little the trackpad here or the capacitive touch keyboard or the physical buttons that allow you to articulate on the display without taking up the entire display with your thumbs is absolutely excellent. The keyboard was phenomenal. This is where it gets into personal opinion. I love my blackberry passport keyboard as well just as much as this, but if you want that classic blackberry feel this is the tactile positive clicks that you get typing on this, and even though now today, we might consider this a little on the small side, especially like I said those big thumbs. If you take a few moments with it, I've been typing on this for 10 days now straight you get used to it again, and you fly, and maybe it's not as quick as you type on your glass slab, but I promise a'll feel better.

More rewarding and b you'll be more accurate. The first time when you're typing on this bad boy and listen, the key to keyboard was nice. It wasn't bad, the space bar. Okay, all right, you know, you know what I'm talking about this one when people say that the key to one was always the bold keyboard, no, no! No! No! This is the bold keyboard. This is the keyboard if you type enough on the key too, and then you type enough on this, you know there's a difference there.

If onward mobility, please listen to me in 2021 this or the passport keyboards are the two that you need to choose from when you're talking about a keyboard on a blackberry. This is the one that you want to type on. Can we talk about something silly for a second notification led and the way in blackberry OS that you could customize your notification led? You could talk to me until you're blue in the face about, oh always on display. I could see. I could just look down.

No, no! No! No! No! Okay! Put that thing! 10 feet away from you! Put that thing down on the table. Further away. Put it at an angle that you perhaps you can't see it and then tell me what your notifications mean. Tell me what email account did you get a message from? Is it a text message? Is it your business email? Is it a personal email, a WhatsApp message? I got a color for each of them here, and I could tell it from 20 feet away when it blinks. Oh, hey, listen, a dark blue! That's a Steve, Alicia's tech message! Green! That's! A regular tax matches turquoise aqua, that's just a personal one.

I love that, and I hope that the next blackberry absolutely has that because it was great on the classic and it just works. It's something that don't I don't care about. Bezels. We get so crazy about bezels. Look at the bezels on this thing.

Okay, did anybody care? No, you still use this, and you still love it. For my money, the s4 plus actually gave you a decent blackberry, 10 experience for a change, the q20 with the regular s4. It just seemed to step slow, but this one performed well battery life. You don't even need to talk about it all day long and then some you throw this wherever you want and the durability that you got from your classic because of that build quality that we talked about the rubberized back. You put this in a briefcase, you throw it down on a desk, a messenger bag, you put it in your jacket, pocket.

Furthermore, you didn't have to worry about it. Breaking you didn't have to worry about a case. This was nice. It had that nice business feel that professional look to it, and you have to put a blocky case on it, just to protect it or be able to use it. This is when you got a quality blackberry, and it feels it that good weight in the hand the perfect bit now listen.

This is a change they made from the bold and uh. Obviously a lot of the previous ones, not flaring up the keyboard a little having that flatter keyboard. They had it on the q10. They carried it over. Of course, the modern ones key one key two had this flat.

I personally think that your hand your thumbs kind of rest a little up further. So I, like the q and the p, a little raised on either side, but then again, that's personal preference. You get used to it. It's fine, and I understand now with the form factor the way it was, and they wanted a little bigger screen how you couldn't quite have that, so they went straight across, but there is something satisfying about going back and having a physical button like you do on the classic, see a backlit display, it's nice, you click it, and you get right back to home when you're done with something just hit end. You want your settings there.

It is. I don't have to drag down from anywhere and take up real estate on the screen with my fingers. You could do that right then, and there it just worked. Well, it's a fantastic device. It's a solid device, it's a reliable device.

It would be there for you every single time. There are plenty of people who use them today and rightfully so, there's plenty of life left in these guys, and they perform well so enjoy. Please get out your blackberry classics, get out your passports, get out your z30s. If that's your thing enjoy the last year of blackberry services, because you're going to miss it and there's an era of cell phones that hopefully onward mobility's got a shot that could bring it back in where you could palm your cell phone still have that keyboard and have a quality device. Maybe some you know, I'm a kid in the early 80s.

So there's something about this being peak technology for us. When I dreamed of something in the future, it was always something that would have a keyboard, relatively small, powerful, competent stuff. Like that, I never dreamed of these glass slabs. So I maybe that's why the nostalgia factor is there, but I've absolutely loved using this. The sims going to come out of this and go on my passport once the video is done.

I don't know I may hold on to it a few more days, but the nostalgia factor it's a lot more than that. It's nostalgia, plus usability plus utility. That still has some value today in 2020 and then in a couple of weeks, 2021 for the last year. So let's talk about why you'd use a classic today, whether you had one sitting in a drawer that you just haven't used for quite a while you're looking one bay, you get a pickup, one relatively cheap. There are plenty of reasons to still be using this blackberry number one.

I have a ton of people comment on blackberry videos, windows, mobile videos, feature phone videos about how they, just like a disconnect device, a device that they're not gonna, have to worry about a million apps on there's no Instagram. There's no twitter, there's nothing like that. They just want to be able to text; they want to be able to make phone calls, they want to be able to do their email and some light web browsing, and this one certainly fits the bill for all of that, and you get all of that with the build quality and the excellent battery life that blackberry provides. You also get some added security and privacy on these devices because a're, not you, don't have all those apps on they're collecting all your data but at the same time there's no money in hacking. Blackberry devices anymore, okay, all the malware people have moved on to android and iOS and all that stuff.

So you don't have to worry too much about anybody trying to crack into your device. The second reason this is a fantastic secondary device, and I've always been an advocate about people having a secondary device that they can communicate with these slab phones are very delicate. You could drop it. There's water damage, you could lose it there's so many reasons why you could just get one of these guys charge it up. You can get those cheap sims from whether it's mint mobile 15 bucks a month a lot of times.

Your current carrier will provide a second line for 20 bucks a month. It's worth it. If you're somebody who likes to be over prepared, you throw this in a glove box, you throw it in a bag. You just even carry it on yourself, something happens: you're covered. You have communication, you could text with people, you could call.

Furthermore, you could get a ride home. Furthermore, you could call the police if something happens, you're secure! It's that little extra bit of security and these blackberry devices are more than up to the task of that they can do a heck of a lot more than that, but they are great for secondary devices, because even some older ones, even some newer ones relatively cheap, and they provide a lot of utility. The thing that I still use my passport for every single day, and I've been using this before for the past 10 days or so. These are excellent email devices. Even today, excellent, are you one of those people that you go into your iPhone or your android? You get that little iPhone bubble around the mail thing and there are 2100 messages on red.

You got 25, 000, unread emails, you get yourself one of these. Furthermore, you carry it around as a secondary device. That's not going to happen anymore. You will love, checking your email and it is so great because you get the notification right away. You pick it up.

There's small little devices to carry around you pick it right up. You go okay, you go through, you can even select more, which is what I do. You select multiple messages on bb10 delete them all. Furthermore, you will get through every single one of those messages, and you will be caught up to date on your email. I promise you, even if you just get one of these, and you keep it on Wi-Fi.

It's a fantastic way. I've done that with my passport. It's a fantastic way to keep up with email. So those are some reasons why you'd use a blackberry classic. There are plenty of them they're great devices.

They always were. Hopefully they can capture the essence of what this device was towards the end of blackberry in the new blackberry coming out in 2021, the blackberry 5g. Hopefully onward mobility is listed. If you give us something like this, I'm sure a lot of people are going to be happy. So, let's make the last year of blackberry services a good one, pull out your blackberry, say hello, put a sim in and enjoy it trust me you'll like it if you've made it.

This far like comment subscribe all that fun stuff until next time have that stevalicious day.
