Okay, I didn’t actually buy it!

BlackBerrys downfall was it’s hardcore fan base the “crackberry” users, who kept demanding that blackberry sticks to its outdated hardware and software design and the executives stupid enough to listen to them and mock iPhones for being toys. I used to love my blackberry but as soon as the first iPhone was launched and got my hands on one it was clear as day that BB would be in the mud if they didn’t change, which they didn’t until it was way too late-2013.

I miss my Blackberries. My first was for work. Loved it. And since I hated Apple's too-cool-for-school marketing, I used them for my personal cell when I switched from flip-phone to smart-phone. Plus, the data plan was way less for the Blackberry for whatever reason. To this day, I miss the physical keyboard because I fat-finger all the time on my Androids.

I love how did they made Blackberry model? I hope Blackberry will be back on someday with another project to keep going make the phone.

You summed it all, Blackberry just stopped making their phones in 2022, and then we need physical keyboards back. I hope they will make small pocket laptops with integrated phone these days.

Blackberry could have done well in the modern world today. But chose to fiddle their thumbs for years as Apple and android continued to eat up market share. They waited until 2013 to make a serious change with their blackberry 10 OS. That was 6 years after the first iPhone and 5 after the first android. By then it was too late and so much market share was taken up by the big 2. If they took apple and google more seriously years earlier they’d probably had still been around, thriving, and still had a good chunk of the market share today.

Instead of buying BB phones people should look into BB stocks that are at 20 year lows and many hedge funds seem to be getting in. I feel there is an accumulation going on because their price to sales ratio is just at 2.07 now. Which is extremely cheap. The reason the stocks dipped so low is because BB decided to raise 194million in cash to pay for maturing notes with fresh notes at 3% interest. BB seems to be big into Software Defined Vehicles with their Blackberry IVY, Blackberry Sound and QNX software and Hypervisor. AWS seems to be a major partner on the QNX. At 1.67billion market cap it is only a matter of time before someone buys them outright.

They could have saved it if they didn't overprice the key2 with the BB Tax. The phone was more expensive than other, better performing options and had nothing going for it other than the keyboard. So you could get the more expensive one with your beloved keyboard but suffer with performance or buy a better phone and get used to the touch inputs.

It’s interesting that almost no one knows BlackBerry the company is actually still around, and at the same time a lot of those same people are using BlackBerry products every day without knowing it. BB shifted to developing the software used in modern vehicle infotainment systems and nearly have a monopoly on that market. So If you have a car made in the last decade, you’re (literally) daily driving a BlackBerry.

Honestly, keyboards do need comeback. It would be great tonbe able to slide keyboard down from the bottom, so when keyboard is hidden we would have digital keyboard (for people who slide-typing or autocorrect) and when we slide it down we have physical one. At least tablets should have such thing so we would have quick access to special signs and increase typing speed
