I would also like to see a BB physical keyboard and would definitely switch phone right away.

We need a Blackberry Key 3!

I just got a Pixel 8 but I'd trade it in a heartbeat for a BlackBerry. I like typing with a physical keyboard.

I wish BlackBerry would make a comeback. The build quality, OS smoothness - especially BB10, BlackBerry Hub and that insane keyboard - both physical and virtual, remain timeless and unbeatable.

Totally agree. Have had BlackBerry phones since forever. Been thru all brands since early 1990's. My BlackBerry Key2's battery was running out this past summer so I purchased a Bold Blue N3 and used for 2 mos. I just purchased a new battery for my BlackBerry Key2 and have move SIM back to my BlackBerry. I missed the keyboard and the size of my BlackBerry so much. I use my phone mostly for communications and social media so it still works great. It was becoming slow for sharing movies to my smart TV.

I was the last man standing in my entourage and among strangers with a Blackberry until last year. I got an iPhone 13 about 10 months ago and every day I say while using it, "I *hate* typing on this ish." I miss the physical keyboard so much 😩

A BlackBerry 5G ?? Would be awesome!!!

You are 100% right. We need a physical keyboard phone. I really hope it is a new BlackBerry. BlackBerry will and is always an Originator. Had to switch from my Key2 back to a Key1 which involves the issues you mentioned, but very thankful to have it. Thanks for your videos supporting the movement. I appreciate it.

I used to love typing on BB phones. I can definitely see the need for a physical keyboard in the professional workspace. Even if it gives up some screen space.

From your lips to God's ears. Let's make in happen! #BlackBerry

Absolutely agree Adam! I am still using my Key 2, and cannot imagine using a phone without a physical keyboard! The typing, the accuracy, the 52 keyboard shortcuts (amazing), the tactile feel, etc. I can get to virtually anything on my Key 2 faster than an all-glass slab can get you. We need a new keyboard phone sooner rather than later!

I still miss my passport!

BlackBerry should make a comeback imo.

Bring back the keyboard Blackberry please

Let Google pair up with Blackberry. Their security with Google's AI, a perfect match.

Man you absolutely nail what alot of people are thinking. Apples devices are smooth but they lack some brunt that seems to have been lost. This also is what fuels the interest in Pixel devices and some less flash cells. Looooved my BB devices. Miss the platform badly.

Physical qwerty keys indeed❕

Even if they sold the patent for their on screen keyboard, I’d loved. The swipe up gesture for words selection was awesome.

I still have my Blackberry Classic phone and it keeps on working!! Good communication and love the keyboard. Dependable phone!!

I'd love to have a new BlackBerry and a good physical keyboard again. BB10 OS was actually pretty awesome, still feels like a polished OS in 2023 honestly. It's an OS option I wish we still had but even if they did a refreshed BlackBerry with Android, I think many would be really happy just for the BlackBerry keyboard / hardware.

There is still no substitute for a physical keyboard.

1000 % I agree with you! I would love so much to have another phone like my Passport. Typing on glass keyboards doesn’t cut it for me. Especially agree with you about typing on the iPhone. It really does suck. Typing on the Pixel 8 Pro with G board is considerably better, but nothing compares to a physical keyboard.

100% agree. They're not for everyone, but there are enough of us to make it worth someone making a small run of them. Give me a PKB!

I miss Blackberry and their pkb. I never had many or any typos on BB pkb as I do with my android keyboard.

A physical keyboard would be a great addition in the Thinkphone line...fingers crossed!

An archaic design? Imagine using a computer without a physical keyboard, and just having to tap on glass all day. Sure, the physical keyboard is archaic, but just because something's old doesn't mean it's not the best thing, haha. Samsung releases square car tires! Amazing! But ... well, the round wheel felt better. I rest my case, and I hope it supports yours in some small way. Also, wishing your and yours a wonderful New Years, and 2024!

Still rocking my Key2 Red as second/workphone till this day. Wrecked it twice and fixed it twice myself. But someday it's gonna die..... I have notifications on your channel for over 3 years now or so. Tbh I almost never watch any of the videos because the title don't say Blackberry... Once a year or so when you post something like this I get very excited🥹 Still waiting on the day that you'll post "Finally the new Blackberry 2031"😂🤕 That onward mobility stunt really broke my heart man.... 💔

I'm not sure if I agree 💯 with a "need" for physical QWERTY keyboards, but WANT ? Yessss please, most def ! At least give us Options, like we used to have in non-Apple world. I've never been fully comfortable with typing on a glass display, and even "tools" like Swype aren't ideal workarounds, since they are fine for short words, but not longer ones. Some type of physical-key option on my current daily driver (Galaxy S22 Ultra) would be such a welcome change. I've actually been considering upgrading to a foldable phone -- again, partly just to have more typing options (specifically, screen real estate, perhaps augmented by a stylus).

Agree, loved my blackberries back in the day. They are niche now but I think there’s a market. Have a dual interface option, have full smartphone etc yes BUT also have an option to make it simple. “Dumb phones” are making a come back and Android based ones so you can still have WhatsApp, music player of choice etc but still being simple and straightforward so you don’t doom scroll! Something 9000/9900 bold size would be awesome, and that size screen would be perfect for a “dumb” phone alternative!

Yes. Most definitely. You had me at BlackBerry.

I use a Chromebook for the time when I need a keyboard to write with online apps.

Put my SIM in my Classic yesterday just to see if by some miracle it would pick up cellular and I could use it for a bit. No dice of course but man I miss it.

thank for the review 👍🏻

I agree I really miss my Blackberry Keyone I hope Blackberry license their keyboard technology to Samsung or Sony, or just come back strong as a Blackberry.

The screen keyboard on the priv was outstanding.

agreed, but not just the keyboard, they just are so cool, looking and so well designed… I’m basically new to BlackBerry, but I’ve been almost entranced by the way they set up their desktop and look and feel of their keys and screens, and just the overall shape of their later phones. if someone could put updated processors and tech into something like the classic or bold or passport or curve I think it’d be a bigger success than we realize…

You have a lot more patience than I do when it comes to typing on phones even if it's a BB physical keyboard which I still have my PP Silver Edition, I avoid typing at length on a phone as much as I can, I will prefer typing on a full size PC desktop keyboard over anything else every time. I do love the haptics on my Pixel 8 Pro as I did the 7 Pro but I minimize my typing sessions as much as I can due to how cramped the keyboard on a phone is.

For a better keyboard experience on my Apple 15PM I turned of slide-to-type in the keyboard settings. But yes, I understand what you're saying regarding the differences in Gboard for example, and the Apple keyboard.

Adam!! I agree 100% give me keys!!!! Please lord!!❤❤❤

Fully agree more accurate and more easy to use with the swipe function even better than iPhones in that regard ❤

Thank you TechOdyssey!

If this is a petition, sign me up! This channel is the reason why I'm still holding on to my BB Classic.

I would love to see an new BB physical keyboard, would jump to it immediately.

I too miss Blackberry. I had the BB Classic, and aside from the AWFUL camera, I loved that phone.

My only portrait QWERTY phone was my Palm Centro but I loved that phone with a passion (I even managed to wear the keyboard out)

BB with physical keyboard + their OS in a modern world would be insane

Blackberry should allow us to open the bootloader of their previous phone (Iike the Passport which was a power house) or maybe make a tool for us to be able to update their bb10 with a newer Android or Android runtime. As of now, I am often switching my sim between my Key2 (main phone) or my Passport Android Edition (but only for communication :no banking apps and stuff) . Sometime i like to only have a small phone in my pocket like a Classic or P9986 PE but their android apps lag too much nowadays.

I would love to have it back as well. Nothing comes close.😢

Yes please! I miss the keyboard on my BB classic.

I totally agree 😢

Thank you for a great video. I do prefer a physical keyboard for accuracy and speed typing. It is also different today to have a phone with a physical keyboard. Hope BB bring latest phone with physical keyboad.

I wish we had more keyboard options too. I still have my Classic as my alarm clock and switch between my Unihertz Titan & Keyone Black Edition for my main phone. Unihertz is allegedly working on a newer version of the Titan that'll join their existing lineup (Titan, Slim, and Pocket), so that's good news for the future, even if not technically a Blackberry.

Man I remember I was a BES administrator at Broadcom. Blackberry back then had iphone status. It was only Blackberry and the Palm Trio that ruled the smartphone market back then.

I try to use my computer imessage for the typing part and miss terribly the blackberry type keyboards. Thanks for you video.

Last time I used a physical keyboard on a phone was on my Samsung flight which was before the smartphone days. I don't miss physical keyboards on a phone at all and prefer on screen keyboard. Gboard is just so good

I get comments on my Titan almost daily. Mostly people missing their old Curve or Pearl. I think they could get a small slice of the smart phone sales pie back with a true flagship device.

And agree with the intro how new phones aren’t as ‘functional and feasible’

It's done, it's over, we all need to move on with the times.....

I found your channel because of of Blackberrys. I so wish we could get a new Qwerty keyboard phone.

I am a health care provider and it is really frustrating not having a Qwerty keyboard especially when responding to clients. It is a needed design. Please would someone make a physical key board to make life easier for those that need physical keys.

Totally agree that we still need a pkb. Imo the unihertz titan phones all have a good form factor for each style of pkb person. I think they should only refine upon what they already have.

I think the smaller screen nature of a phone with a physical keyboard is the main drawback. Maybe a full screen slider would work but adds bulk. It's a touch niche.

I loved all my Blackberry's over the years. I wish I could get a new one. I love the Physical keyboard. I am currently using a Unihertz Titan and it has one. It's not bad but It's not a BB though. It does have a qwerty keyboard though.

Hi, in search for keyboard phone options I happened to find the Xeta One project, I was amazed, hopefully that materializes some day. Unfortunately right now it seems only like an nice idea.

100% agree. Miss my keyboard. I bet there are more people that would buy one than they think…

Great content man and I am 100% on your side. I loved my Blackery Keyone Black Edition. Got my heart racing ha ha. These days all the slabs we can buy are pretty much the same. Big powerful Samsung or a an IPhone. Yes they are great phones and better than the Blackberry. But there is just something about Blackberry and that keyboard that makes the phone so cool and great to use. If they came out with a Key 3 bit better specs and camera. Then I would buy it in a heartbeat and I know I am not the only one!

As a work phone, I do miss the BB and the keyboard. As a pure messaging/email device I don't think and virtual keyboard can compare.

I agree we definitely need more phones with keyboards, hell I'd be happy if someone even launches a budget phone with average specs. But have you thought about using clicks keyboard? My iphone doesn't support it but your does!

I really believe in this line of thinkin g as well. maybe my circle is small; but I would say the need for things such as these are greater than you are estimating; the CLICKS keyboard looks promising; if only apple allowed us to do the flashing status lights that you can customize; kind of like blackberry did; also unihertz; and idk why apple cant add something like that in; im still using my old iPhone 13 Pro; but I may only upgrade because of the CLICKS case; almost stepped down to a unihertz; I really hope a happy medium comes along soon!

We need a 2024 BB Classic!

Dell Venue Pro 7 was my favorite phone. But yea.. phones are litterally all the same now. My S22 Samsung case fit my Samsung S23. I would a 100% be a buyer for a good slider with QWERTY keyboard.

1 simple reason: I can type on it without having to look at it.

I love the physical keyboard as well totally agree what is the most recommended phone with physical keyboard still around I looked at the titan

BB one of the best secure os in mobile market.. But ppls choose fancy big display over security. So sad 😔

I don't have any Apple products but did you see Clicks keyboard for iPhone? Wish they would make some sort of keyboard case for the pixel

I literally was just looking for a blackberry key2 to try out

The build quality on these were just amazing

Agreed!! I was thinking what if samsung makes a phone that slides and u turn it horizontal and type with the physical keyboard.

I am watching this on my atomic red Blackberry Key 2 Le. I love this phone and it is such a conversation starter and it stills wow people when they notice my phone.

I LOve BB Thanks from Valencia SPAIN

I miss the SureType keyboard from the BlackBerry Pearl 3G! Would switch to an updated one in a heart beat!!

I would really enjoy a new BlackBerry in fact every time I see you upload a video about BlackBerry I get hope that will get a new one

I fully agree. But unfortunetely not enough people agree with us. I think BlackBerry truly tried everything to meet the demands for people that want a keyboard. But I think we should acknowledge there is just no viable business case.

Great video. Can you make a video about click for iphone?

I'm down with this! Let's go Team BlackBerry 😍

Hey the classic the curve the pearl the key1. Also nokia had a couple options. Love them back.

I would pay top dollar for an updated Blackberry

I am still using my Blackberry KeyOne every day... I love it, does everything I need even today.

Lately the pin on my Key2 charging port has become "problematic" (the charge is hit or miss) so I entertained thoughts about my next phone ... I instead found a repair shop. I'm just not ready to give up the keyboard. Seriously, somebody out there take a leap on a small release or gamble on the "retro draw" of a BB keyboard and some serious security...I'm in.

I loved my BlackBerry and had a LG phone that the keyboard slid out which I'd go back to either one.

I used to love keyboard phones. I have fond memories of my BlackBerries and Droids. If Unihertz would've put their goddamn shift key in the right place I would've bought one of their Titans.

Watching this on my BlackBerry Priv, which ironically has become more stable in the past month than it has been in years

I miss a tactile keyboard. Former Palm Treo user here. I charged my phone every 4 to 5 days.

Great content. For me, the physical keys were too small for me.

Still have a Keyone//Dtek50//Classic//Z30 in a shelve in the garage. Ahhh miss the blackberry intuitive keyboard.

I think, part of the problem is, no one wants to give up screen space. I understand that. But darn it, I miss the keyboard!

I really enjoy my Pixel 7, but use voice text for most of my texts and emails. I miss the physical keyboard I have on my Bold and my KeyONE.

Normally i throw away my old phones. The BB Passport i kept. Such a beautifull phone!

Galaxy chat was my last qwerty, Nokia c3-00 before that. I really miss qwerty phone 😢.

💯 YES! I remember you said you once saw the Onward Mobility 5G BlackBerry and that they had to change the design? . Could you talk about it and your thoughts? Also Clicks just went on pre-order I also agree a new good Keyboard phone is needed.
