Used to have a Curve and TBH I loved it. "upgraded" to a smartphone a couple of years ago
but I still miss my Curve

Have a look at the Priv, some of our clients are still missing their Blackberry devices.

I changed to Android about five years ago as I wanted a larger keyboard which is a shame as I preferred everything else about the Blackberry. I know that Blackberry have their own touchscreen models now but I've got used to the way that the inferior Android phones operate

 

[soundengineeruk]

Not my choice, but at the end of the day I am not the one using it..

 

[RelyOnIT]

So sad to see the demise of Blackberry

The Blackberry Priv looks great.

If it weren't for the Galaxy Note I'd definitely consider it.

If they added pen support I might be sold.

I also switched the Android about 5 years ago, and must admit I loved my Blackberry Bold.

Phones since haven't been the same.

My wife has the Curve 9360 and despite certain apps draining the battery within minutes she insists on continuing to use it. She has a brand new shiny HTC sealed in the box from two Christmas's ago but won't touch it as she is afraid of touchscreens...

I used to use a BB, it was OK. But my personal phone has been android ever since my galaxy S3 and I don't see myself changing any time soon.

I'm thinking about trading in my iPhone for an old-school Blackberry. Too many distractions.

used to have 9500 when it came out... loyal to apple since 4 came out but considering windows next...
The only good thing about by BB9500 was texas hold-em game

Why would you switch to Windows? That's mindblowing to me! I'm apple since 4 came out too, but I'm either going to switch to a dumb phone or go for Galaxy. I used to hate Samsung, but now I'm really considering it. Wireless charging, super fast etc etc.

Update
I now have a modern phone

A Blackberry Leap !

I've got Blackberry Priv, great phone, best aver from that brand.

 

[Adam-Smith]

blackberry was a beast of his time but now there are too many beasts in the market which is very hard to compete for blackberry...

Can't just walk by and ignore a Blackberry thread

As my DTEK60 thread states, I'm onto my second Blackberry having started with a Passport. Its a great touch-screen phone and compares well with market leaders, but I will revert to a physical keyboard if they can get the balance right between useable real estate and overall phone size... just thought the Priv and now the KeyOne are BIG phones.

I used to use a BlackBerry for work, however, I found the UI too messy when compared to the iPhone. That being said, the current iPhone I've got has lasted me a good long while and it doesn't look like it's going to break down on me anytime soon. (fingers crossed!)

 

[RobertN]

I am a big fan of qwerty phones! However, for business I use iPhone much more capabilities

Update

A Blackberry Leap !

Over the weekend I put a drill through the middle of my leap by mistake
I have gone back to the Q10 and forgotten how good it is
I do need a new phone though but don't know what .
I really cant spend too much money or have one on contract as I seem to damage them and 1K iPhone would be all shapes within a week

 

[quikshop]

Well I'm still rocking the Blackberry DTEK60 and its been faultless. Such an intelligent touch screen keyboard, learns your style and over time pre-empts your words with unerring accuracy.

Battery still gives up to 2 days regular use between charges. Debating whether to give the Key2 a try but at £500+ I'll probably add it to my Xmas list and stick with the DTEK60 until then

 

[JEREMY HAWKE]

I cant use a phone that has to be treated carefully I Might get a Dtek 50 as I think £150 is OK for a phone that is on the at risk register

 

[JEREMY HAWKE]

Back to Blackberry Classic now and I love it but I really should have a proper phone

So sad to see the demise of Blackberry

Initially I was sad but its hard to be sad for them when they chose to keep BBM locked down and didn't move with the times. BBM could have been WhatsApp!
Unfortunately I think they themselves were a contributing factor.
But all the same had two and loved them! 8110 (in a drawer somewhere) and then a 9700.

I dug my old Curve out of a drawer the other day and charged it up. Thinking about using it again....

The browser maybe challenging on the old OS I am using a Blackberry DTEK 50 at the moment with android

 

[Gordon - Commercial Finance]

I now only use my phone for calling and texting...maybe the odd email. iPhone isn't particularly good at any of those (particularly emailing). I could probably go for a Nokia 3210 if I could be bothered with a T9 keypad.......
