Remember Ballmer’s “500 dollars for a phone!” - lol...jokes on him. Now they’re over 1000.
That guy was one of the most incompetent CEOs anyway. Microsoft did pretty bad under his leadership.

You misspelled $2,000 LOL.
More like the joke's on us
You managed to get a Pie, Apple, and Blackberry reference all in one and still end up murdering the one that was already dead. Well done.

Fun fact: Blackberry the company wasn’t alway’s Blackberry as they are more recently called from 2013. They were originally called RIM: Research In Motion
Hehe... in motion... u_U
Blackberry are a part of rim research in motion they didn't change their name, it's like googles parent company being alphabet
And they had bought up Kanata's QNX, which is a great micro-kernel based Unix like OS.
@@martinseal1987 No, RiM changed their name to BlackBerry

iPhone did not kill BlackBerry. BlackBerry killed BlackBerry!
Vel A Blackberry commited suicide, you mean.
@Vel A, That’s what I said. 😁
Well both
Finally! Someone woke enough understands. Blackberry relied too much on their OS and form factor to realize that their design aged rapidly.
The same goes to Nokia
I live in Waterloo, the home of RIM, and when I was in grade school, even as young as 10 and 11 years old, RIM would send engineers to our school to do interactive workshops and get students excited about tech. In grade 6 we got to do an in class tear down of a working blackberry, then put it back together. We were taught what each part is, and I will be forever grateful for that experience as it was a big influence on me getting involved in tech.
Yeah yeah we get it, the iPhone scratches at a lvl 6 with deeper grooves at a lvl 7
So when did agent 47 start doing tech videos

The iPhone killed BlackBerry.
Android killed Symbian, Windows Phone, Palm OS, and anything that dared to threaten iOS as a 2nd competitor.
killed ios i dont think so
I know Cause I'm BatMan. you know that iOS is better it is more secure, it doesn’t need that much ram and the iPhone XS won on geek bench results even with a worse cpu
@I know Cause I'm BatMan. It does not run 90% of the market -- it's more like 76%. However, if you look closely, this is because mostly third world countries who can't afford clean water generally prefer cheaper crappy Androids that run 3-5 year old software. If you look at English speaking countries, the market-share is more balanced (usually iOS winning a slight majority)-- poverty exists even in first world countries.
@I know Cause I'm BatMan. I'm a Software Developer and in IT for about 5 years before that. I have an iPhone because the multitude of benefits it has over the wild wild west Android (Speed, simplicity, eco-system, iMessage, iMessage, more re-sale value, updates right away, integration with mac/ipad/watch/TV etc, etc). It's not about being into tech or not. At some point in your life, you're going to grow out of wanting to "customize" your phone and download torrents off of wifi-hot spots. That's why majority of businesses also prefer iOS over Android. Either case, my work pays for my phone and they only offer iOS.
I know Cause I'm BatMan. That’s the budget model for poverty. So you admit it’s about price. I hear you. iMessage is way better than a third party solution. Sms fallback is key. You can copy files to iPhone easily.

Blackberry may have been big in the US but for the rest of the world, it was all about Nokia.
dickies docos blackberry was also big in the UK
@@ARMYRIFLES46 Yes but it still didn't come close to Nokia did it?
@@dickiesdocos in the UK it did, the london riots were orchestrated through blackberry messenger.
Nope I remember in iraq it was all bout BlackBerry but we had some people using nokia
For my island it was nokia >BlackBerry > samsung/iphond
I had a blackberry once. I was on the cutting edge of modern technology once.
I really like the new Priv they have too. But not so sure.
I just finally retired my Priv a couple days ago. By far the best phone I've ever owned.
@@leswause8937 key 2 is good 2, it is my daily driver
Should I buy the key 2?
I think key 2 se is better but i am not sure. After a while my spacebar stopped working for like 3 days and now it magicly started working again. I really like the phone and the keyboard is also handy while watching video's/movie's because you have more space for you hand to hold the phone wich makes it confortabler. It also has an good battery and DTEK is nice to. If you like the look and like an physical keyboard i would say it is perfect
I have a priv and I love it, it came out around the time that phone development slowed so its still very capable, it has a big battery and a 2K oled screen and the mechanism for the folding keyboard is so sold, every so often I feel some sand or grit getting into it, but it just goes away. the only advantages of modern phones is slightly faster and more efficient/cooler CPUS, and better cameras, but these phones cost upwards of 3x what you can get a priv for (you can get privs for under £200) I hope they make a priv 2, because sometimes I wish my phone was cooler or faster or better cameras, but I can still wait a couple years
I watching this using my BlackBerry. Professional in corporates still uses blackberry
Not very many buddy. Plus the US government has a contract with Apple to use iPhones and that's a big deal
Alex bull shit!!! Military Commanders are issued a blackberry when they take command, they also issue them at the Pentagon. I’ve worked for the government for twenty years and never seen a government IPhone contract.
BlackBerry phones have and will always be secure and encrypted. Top phones for security. If BlackBerry phones stopped getting security patches, it wouldn't matter, cause its secure enough without it.
Yeah, but a lot of companies use iPhone X's
Lol i remember playing brick breaker on my dads blackberry. Those were the days
Yesss
I really liked the physical keyboard and the trackball. I could easily type without even looking with the keyboard, and the trackball was much more practical for things like editing text (cutting and pasting, for example) than touchscreen. The only downside to BlackBarry phones was the exclusive app thing.
I remember seeing my parents a blackberry back in the day
when I told my mom about getting a smartphone, she said NO, i forced her, and when she got it, she fell in love with it
I remember my dad using a Blackberry until around the time the iPhone 6s came out.
my parents dropped theirs for android and apple real fast
If you use it for work there are nothing wrong with that. Problem is when smartphone RIM had business customer so they just lazy around don't adopt android and their app store is weaker than Microsoft one. When their customer dyed up then, they can do nothing and then it just too late.
What a legend 😂😂
i still love the blackberry bold 🙌🏽
You forgot to mention the dependency of the blackberry network to be online for most of its functionality/security policies. We used to call this the “blackberry mothership”. That was a huge drawback.
It was also the biggest selling point - your secure messages didn't just go out through the internet. For law firms this was pretty much a mandatory thing.
It was also essential for a device with 16 mb of ram to be able to do so much.
Also, the Canadian government gave BlackBerry's to their employees until VERY recently.
Canadian Government is still using BlackBerry as an options along with Samsung
I still miss my physical buttons.. either on the Blackberry or on the many Android phones of that day that has full physical keyboards. Its still much faster (for me) to use that over touch screens or at least much less error prone.
Totally agree with you!
wish there was a modern phone with one of those hidden underscreen keyboards, i'd actually get that
Blackberry is buried in the same graveyard in a grave next to Nokia. On their headstone, someone crossed out the word Black and replaced it with the word Choke.
1:32 - windows mobile communicators with a sim card already existed at that time, which were pretty much like the smartphones we use nowadays, maybe only without google play and appstore, (which imho was the main reason they have become extremely popular)
Watching this on a Blackberry Passport Silver Edition. Still the most beautiful handset BlackBerry ever produced!
I kept hoping BB would introduce a Passport running Android. Loved that device. Had the original then pick up the SE. Best keyboard experience hands down.
if you had BBM in highschool and still remember your dial shortcuts, you the real mvp
I still have my blackberry 8530 kicking around somewhere.
Love that pie pun at the end. How sweet it was to hear you say that! ROFL
touch screen and swiping a big changer. love it man.
HTC Diamond Touch - running Windows Mobile 6 with HTC Touch Flo Interface!!! Never had a Blackberry before switching to Galaxy Nexus.
Which one was that HTC device with Win Mobile 6 and a flip-out keyboard?
exactly, this is completely ignoring HTC and winmo:P
@@ShiroKage009 HTC Touch Pro,. or HTC TYTN II,. back then there was a lot of windows mobile phone with keyboard.
basically 16bit windows 9x:P I believe; you could/can run winmo applications in windows a lot of time
Nokia be like "I ain't dyin' wiff out a fight!" (Thx Android One)
BB: "Let's pretend we're old school Samsung! And dat means we don't need to give a 💩 'bout updates, customers' opinions or worry about anything! Cause we have a diehard fan base!"
I've actually gotten 4-5 OS updates in the past year on my Blackberry Motion. I've heard similar comments re: lack of updates, but it hasn't been my experience at all. Currently running 8.1.0 with the last security patch being February.
@@Innuya That's about average for most android manufactures, it's neither good nor bad, if you want an example of good support I have a Sony phone which has gotten at least bi-monthly updates for the nearly 2 years it's been out, although for some reason they skipped 8.1 on this phone but the latest patch was March first and they open source their firmware too. developer.sony.com/develop/open-devices/
They goof up in other ways though, namely with their camera but overall they're not bad.
Nokia fought and lost. My n7+ is buggy as hell, and sent data to China for some reason. Nokia got cancer and they don't know it yet
i love that last quip..not just an apple...or any sweet treat (ice cream, gingerbread, lollipop, etc)
omg the way you say "advertisements" i love it
Still using my BlackBerry Classic. The new KEY2 is badass!
I had the BlackBerry 8320 and it was the Real thing I loved it back in the day
That burn at the end was iconic 5:43
That pun at the end was priceless! You guys are great.
3:28 But it's off. And it doesn't look to have a private screen.
If you want the full story, I would recommend the book Losing the Signal. It basically documents the rise and fall of BlackBerry.
I just whistled with the whistle at 3:28. Lol nice knockers.
I remember when BBM was absolutely massive in school; everyone had one. A lot of us had the Curve 8520, and damn... Those things were damn near indestructible. The nice physical keyboard also made it easy to touchtype under the desk without looking. Good times.
That last sentence though, that felt so sad
Yes, Blackberry is great in pie... Android Pie.
"LAAAAAAAME"
So are Apples. Mmmmm Apple pie
@@jerryarcher9489 whooosh?
That's what I thought he was going to say.
Loopy Loops whoooosh you idiot he’s making another joke
5:40 - 5:54
*best pun on Techquickie and LTT I've heard*
I've bought the keyone when it was out, and now I'm using the keytwo. Both are great phones, and I won't be switching to another brand for a long while.
Blackberry killed itself in my opinion with late, new phone releases and its unwillingness to adapt to change. And so to this day, the fans that they still have, such as myself, still feel that their arrogance and unwillingness to change keeps them in last place.
Well apple is kinda going in that direction as well.
I still use a Blackberry. The Blackberry Key 2. If you care about privacy get a Blackberry. They are available on Amazon
5:30 I never noticed those caterpillars above ur eyes. Can't unsee them now
The pie pun in the end had me dying XD
I had the Blackberry Bold 9800 and I loved it, I really miss that phone, there was something so honest and friendly about it if I’m making any sense.
I had one too, but someone stole it.
It didn't spy on you?
Blackberry's last hoorah before switching to Android was great. OS 10 with its gestures and hub was amazing. I still think my Z10 was the best phone I've ever had. Only issue was the lack of developer support. You could run Android apps, but a lot of them were buggy.
Still using Z10. iPhone stolen bb10's gesture in their iPhone X
The z10 sucked! I got one new, used it for a day and, brought it back to telus. Absolute trash
@@bri9435 nah the z10 was dope. Blackberry ui was so ergonomic. Shitty thing was lack of dev support, had no snapchat and other big ones which lead me to jump ship to android. But I got the z10 at release and I loved it.
i used z10&z30 for 4 years. They had some sort of soul i think. Now i have a keyone, but the android is still not es good as bb10 was. I mean os stability, gestures, interface. Not the dev support, that was sucks. But a little bit of pain and work, and every android app workd fairly well
@@AGenericAccount i mean I was 17-18 at the time, social media and stuff was my life. Maybe it was good for business type folks and adults. It was not a good pick for what I wanted it for! I think I brought it back for a galaxy s4 or s5 can't remember
The editing in this video is golden. :D
That end section was great!
As someone that works in telecommunications and knows just how unsecure a smartphone is, I use a BlackBerry. The last BBOS10 device, the Passport SE.
Yeah, app support is all but gone, and there's a lot of things I sacrifice keeping it. But I will run with it until it dies.
How important are you that you care that much about your information?
@@theojones6129 You can't be that Gpd fprsaken arrogant? Its a frigging concept here which simply is you wanna keep and feel safe.. You might not care about Google, Apple and Microsoft drooling over your private and personal information and selling it as if you where some prostitute. Not everyone is as nàiv as you.
I just realized that I have never owned blackberry. Wtf.
no one asked, attention seeker .
You missed out bro I feel bad for you
they only cost about 2-5 dollars a punnet depending on the season and country you live in. It isn't too late to go out and buy some
2019... Still sobbing.
That Razr + Warped Tour, yowza, didn't know I was doing a cameo in this video
Ahh.. the memories of using the Blackberry Storm. Great phone for a while until I put a .45 through it.
Well now, that took a turn. Lol.
Could you PLEASE change your background colour to something darker! I swear I'm going to go blind or end up with permanent spots in front of my eyes after watching your videos. Loved your pie reference. We need a cherry phone.

LMAO

I’m happy that their annoying ad has stopped . Maybe enough people reported it!
That pie joke was excellent
My mother started working at Blackberry (RIM back then) when they still had their employees using the pager style Blackberries. I have watched its evolution. The rise and the fall. Also worked there for a few months before it all started falling apart.
Blackberry killed Blackberry by being Blackberry. Their SDK was anemic and based on an ancient version of Java. It was a nightmare to develop for, unlike Android and iOS. Platform fragmentation meant you had to test your apps on a ton of devices because they all had different capabilities and form-factors, and the simulators were hilariously slow and buggy. Their communication services relied on proprietary servers and software which were plagued with reliability and security issues. RIM was a company with an identity crisis and inconsistent management.
As much as I welcome choice and competition, the Blackberry is one platform I'm happy to watch die.
And video killed the radio star ... Now feel even older if you know that reference 🤣
I was listening to that as I saw this video👍
Watch the live show from 2004. Excellent!

Man I remember for the first time I saw a BlackBerry phone. That PC keyboard like buttons and the trackball looked cool as hell!
I remember when every teen had a blackberry and as I kid I used ro be so envious of my cousins and wished I had one so bad lol
I loved Blackberry and still do. Bummer, they allowed their success to cripple them.
I'm using black berry 📱 since 2011 it's technology is so complicated no one can hack it easily
Holy- that pun at the end tho
We had them on trial when they first came out and linked them into our exchange server for directors.
Blackberry user here and I have never had a better phone ever.
Not gonna lie, I can't change my phone except blackberry right now because the physical keyboard is really AMAZING!
I don't care about camera gimmick or flipped display. Because it's just a plus point
Yeah, I watch this on my Key2
I can only hope for your sake and Blackberry's that they make the jump to Android One &... FINALLY GET THEIR SOFTWARE GAME TOGETHER!!!
I'm still using a Nokia from 2012 for that very reason the physical buttons are just so much nicer, and it actually fit in my hand for easy touch typing with 1 hand.
Yeah, totally agree. Watching this on my Key2 and I have no problems. The only thing I wish for is for Windows Phone to make a comeback. Although I know there is no way. Loved that OS.
ok ur poor?
Vignette Tsukinose April why no priv tho
You forgot about Blackberry server! We had a Blackberry server at work to handle email. It was such a relief to decommission it.
Damn, I had a Blackberry Curve, the time you asked a girl for her ping lmao
I still prefer the tactile buttons of cellphones of that era. Touchscreen is not the most accurate shit ever tbh.
Like some DS systems...
Touch is faster imo and requires less force. Personally I’m not the biggest fan of tiny physical keyboards :)
Still love my Blackberry and use it everyday. Main is my Blackberry Priv and secondary KEYtwo. I just love physical keyboard.
Imagine buying a laptop with a touch screen for a keyboard. Just imagine completely giving up on physical keys. Just wouldn't be the same right?
That's why I love my Blackberry Priv. It's got a QHD screen 5.4" but also have a slide out keyboard for when you need it.
Couldn't agree more!!!
that pie analogy at the end what pretty smart
Ahhh the days, I wrote most of my collage papers on my blackberry. What a wonderful time. They really dropped the ball when it came to apps.
The blackberry was great, BBM was awesome... I was like: There is nothing like this! the best experience ever!!
Then came Apple : Hold my beer...

The tiltle image was awesome😂😂😂😂😂😂
man those blackberries were freaking indestructable too, i remember my sister had one and at one point she got so mad at her bank she slammed it down on the dash of her husbands truck and it bounced off the dash, cracked the windshield, and kept on tickin for like another year.
I miss physical buttons. My OG Droid and Sidekick were two of the best phones I have ever had.
LIKED AND SUBSCRIBED From My BlackBerry KEY1
Loved the Priv, still rocking my Key2. I already miss BlackBerry.
That pie pun was actually so beautiful
"Blackberry... I here its absolutely fantastic in pies... Just not as good as apple" I died🤣
I still have my pocket PC and blackberry storm in my dresser drawer.
I still miss my 9600 Bold's qwerty keyboard :(.
I think they were amazing phones. Took Android many years to get anywhere close.
I think the Galaxy S2 was the first phone that made me goh 'ah, right, this works quite well'.
Being able to write on your phone without looking at it was the best part about those phones

I had a Blackberry once. Actually two different ones, both secondhand from my Dad. It was my first non basic cellphone, before I got my first Smartphone.
