  1. BlackBerry è tornata. Dopo la fine degli smartphone, oggi cresce grazie a QNX, il sistema operativo usato in milioni di auto, e alle comunicazioni sicure vendute a governi e grandi organizzazioni.

  2. BlackBerry OS - a mobile operating system with a core set of applications for smartphones and communicators produced by Research In Motion Limited (RIM). BlackBerry OS (the classic versions used on BlackBerry phones before Android) was based on a modified version of... archiveos.org/blackberry-os/ #mobilephone #smartphone #blackberry

  3. Damn I miss the Blackberry OS. It was a lot of things, but it wasn't a goddamn spy machine trying to addict me. I loved the coloured led notifications. The Passport was an excellent phone. The Leap was sexy. And it was Canadian. And it worked. Not glitchy or weird or splashy, tying to reinvent. It just worked.

    Another good thing lost because everyone wanted Android.

  4. A great way to get me to NOT use your product is to require your users to create an account for firmware updates. NOPE.

    I couldn't go back to T9, though. 😆

    Even the #Blackberry Pearl's goofy T20 system was annoying to use.

  6. Zinwa Q27 smartphone with BlackBerry-style design now available for pre-order

    The Zinwa Q27 is a smartphone that combines modern features with classic BlackBerry design. In fact, it looks a lot like the BlackBerry Classic that was released in 2014. But the Zinwa Q27 is an Android phone with a MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, 12GB of RAM, and support for 5G networks, among other things.

    But it stands out from most modern smartphones thanks to a relatively small 4 […]

  9. RE: kolektiva.social/@poshelnahuym

    This reminds me my friend Jack.

    I worked at #blackberry for a bit and one of the "perks" at the time was employee pricing on devices. After the lackluster launch of the #playbook #tablet, it was a yardsale - we could grab up to 10 Playbooks for cost essentially ($200-300 depending on model).

    My friend Milo bought four. Two were for Jack, his son with Downs syndrome.

    Jack had a collection of favourite things, he would carry around with him in his Favourite Things pillowcase: feathers, stuffed animals, sticks, leaves... stones.. and a brick. And that Playbook. Down the stairs? `TUNK-DUNK-DUNK-CRUNCH-TUNK` went the pillow case.

    That goddamned Playbook lasted 4 years. When it finally died (fell in the pool, not abuse), they unboxed the second one and got 3 more years out of IT.

    I think about that Playbook at lot. I still have one in a box somewhere, I don't have the heart to recycle it.

    Anyways, Thinkpads of this era were the same. Indestructable.

  10. Never had a BlackBerry in it's prime day, but naturally had to get one as a collectible :blackberry:

    This rather intensively used BlackBerry Curve 8520 was released in August 2009 and had 512 MHz CPU, 256 MB of internal memory, Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi for connectivity, 2 MP camera able to capture 320p videos and quite well working optical trackpad :neocat_phone:

  11. We watched "Blackberry" on Netflix last night. I highly recommend it if you're into the history of modern technology. It says right in the description that it's fictionalized, and inspired by, actual events, so don't take it too seriously. But even with that, there was one element - an innovation by the RIM engineer to improve capacity - that I'm sure was the origin of something we now take for granted in all Internet-based communications systems. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it was cool. I went, "Oh, so that's how that started!" Other nice things for me were images of some of the old tech, including test equipment, in their original headquarters. There were some technical absurdities - again, I don't want to give any spoilers - but some of us will easily be able to say, "That part was pure fiction!" because the writers/producers got it so wrong it literally couldn't have happened. But overall, a believable reenactment, good casting, and fun to watch.
