  • I tested out the final phone ever made by BlackBerry… the BlackBerry KEY2 LE! Is it any good in 2022?
    Okay, I didn’t actually buy it!
    Thanks to grandsmartphone.ro/ for lending the Key2 LE for this video.

    If you have the last blackberry phone you will also always have the lastest model.

  • @localgrassfieldboneshandler

    I always loved the name of the brand itself.. "blackberry" makes me mad that it's now just a joke in the eyes of others, I'd love a brand new super advanced one, and the ability to say "I have a blackberry" again, as a phone that's better than what I currently got, which isn't the case sadly.

    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.

    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downfall was it’s hardcore fan base the “crackberry” users, who kept demanding that blackberry sticks to its outdated hardware and software design and the executives stupid enough to listen to them and mock iPhones for being toys.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.

    02:00 As propietary as BlackBerry was in its hayday, even requiring that you get special subscriptions from your cell provider to use the damn things, they never resorted to clinging to a proprietary charging cables! (The oldest BBs I know all had Mini-USB ports and chargers in the early 2000s.)

I'm still have a Blackberry Classic Q20. It was very durability to use it for long time. Even though, it went through after 9 years, and it had totally work perfect. 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.

    Some companies like Nokia and BlackBerry failed to understand the new market trends, refused to adapt to new technologies, refused to change and thus vanished. Nokia refused to recognize Android and BlackBerry refused to give up traditional looks. Samsung made some great changes since its Galaxy line.

    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.

    FYI it was NOT the last BlackBerry ever made.. It was the last model yes but last one produced? Nope, that honor goes to BlackBerry Evolve it was produced 15 days longer than the Key2 ;)

    I'm using a BlackBerry KEY2 LE daily for 4 years already. I don't want a new phone at all.

    I disagree that the google voice assistant: the blackberry voice assistant had everything I want in a voice assistant.

    I could buy this if price is right, quite expensive for the offering.
    I just use this for chat related device.
