Blackberry made the best productivity device. The hub, the red LED notification light and it handled better 15 years ago than current phones do today. True push email and a file system that made email attachments a breeze.
That's an elegant design right there. At least it's different and it has its own personality. I also use an old phone with an outdated Android, but what matters is that your apps still get updates, including the web browser, web engine, and other stuff from Google.
Hey bro how are you? I was happy to see the upload notification ♥️ How’s life after college? Do you plan to do a project? Anyway good luck with whatever ur doing and my best wishes to you and ur family ❤
I don't speak programming or electronics or computer so I didn't understand one bit 😍😍 i came hear because I was studying with one of your old streams and wanted to see if you're still okay :) and it seems you are doing good :] happy that you are happy and please do upload more videos if u can ! Have a nice day
Hey again James, happy Friday dude. Hope you had a nice week, and enjoy the weekend too. I’ve never used a blackberry phone before. Always used iPod touches when I was a teen in the mid 2010s. And then iPhones ever since
I've thought about the key 2 I have a passport, my only issue is the lack of security updates even if i don't really do much on my phone other than calling
I swapped my smartphone with an AGM M7 last year and it was one of the best choices I've made, i can only do 2 things with it, contact family/friends and listen to music. I still got my smartphone at home but I solely use it to check my banking and stuff like that.
I've been considering getting a light phone 2 or just a general dumbphone, I'm going to uni for game development so not much id really need a smartphone for, blackberry seems cool as a linux user though
hey man I wanted to ask how you spend your leisure time, do you ever binge-watch shows, or play games on weekends? I tend to have one day a week allocated to bugging out but I wanted to ask how you allocate free time.
If you desperately want a keyboard you can also consider the Unihertz Titan, Titan Slim, or Titan Pocket. They come with Android 10 or 11, which is probably their only advantage over the Key2. Otherwise, the build quality is mediocre, their chipsets are quite slow these days, the software has none of the in-built Blackberry suite features present on the Key2, and the Titan Slim even has the audacity to have no headphone jack.
the title and the end of the video are like opposite 💀 device looks dope tho! i love my dumb phone, but not something i can type notes in or manage time with a calendar sadly
i have been using blackberry z10 since 2014 it died in 2023 but it was great i just used it for calls thats it. i dont have any social media accounts just living life peacefully
In fact I used BlackBerry as an organizer and alarm clock for a while until it died It was wonderful I feel sorry that we no longer see any new versions of it :(
i use an Iphone SE since 2016 and has since become the last phone of my life. Can't imagine another phone that has the same level of "sweetspotness" that this specific phone has.
I had one two years ago but it broke , does it still have updates ? I know it had before i stopped using it , it was really powerful for an old phone ( i played genshin on it too 😂)
@@NXRIIIIIi have an iphone SE 2016 too, so i can tell! the latest iOS that can be downloaded is 15.8.1 and it works great! (this includes widgets) i really like SE cuz it's inexpensive and easy to repair. as a person who doesn’t understand technology at all, i was able to disassemble the swollen phone and replace the battery MYSELF!! i think after such joint trials, i will not part with SE until death therefore, if you are thinking about buying, i recommend it!! AND I PLAYED IT IN SEKAI!!!!!! (i have not idea how it work with genshin, cuz I have a 32GB version..)))
@@NXRIIIII Work gave me a locked down iPhone 12 so I still carry my 2016 SE as a personal daily driver. Bought in 2018 for $200CAD and it was a 128G one! I love it. Smaller than a mini. yes, still getting updates from Apple.
I used the titan slim for a while for similar reasons. The keys literally started chipping away and eventually a key fell off after a year of light use ;-; kinda sucked big
1:14 Actually the Key2's headphone jack should some pretty good, it has an AKM4376 DAC! It's a little known fact, someone on 4PDA found out after doing a teardown. I tried linking the thread in a previous comment but it was deleted by CZcams.
Really cool video ! I started using the mi qin f21pro becouse of your reddit posts , one question tho , how did you make work around the keyboard on f21pro , and how good is the typing experience on the blackberry?
Do you have set time when you use messages everyday? I get distracted by checking messages over and over. Thank you for your videos btw, you've been my inspiration for the past 3 years!
Yo i feel like james videos have gotten like more and more I don't know what to call it like more reachable and he is enocrporating more product shots and like yeah he also I don't know why but todays video was like very nice um yeah all his videos are nice but today's is just even better and also love the new audio like how his voice and stuff sound it has been like this for a while now but its nice for sure.
its the last phone that blackberry ever made before , they died 💀
blackberry didnt make it. tcl did.
edit: also blackberry still exists, they pivoted to a software/security company.
Also apparently blackberry didn't die, they make cars now haha

No fue el último ya q el último fue el key 2 le

@@sjuvanet that’s called irony.
@@MIDO2802 Never heard of it
scholz is the type of person where he could make a video about anything and we would still watch
yeah... you become popular and then people get interested in whatever you do. not the way around 🗿

Take your health in all aspects as the most important thing

I think you were born too late for the blackberry 😂
@@Muhluri you talking to me?
looking forward to ur live study session comeback james! 😳
I feel like getting a handheld pc with a slide up keyboard just clears this in every way
I appreciate you sharing your lifestyle on youtube. not many people like this anymore nowadays. you're cool
Loved my key one! I also had that shirt years ago xD
I've thought about the key 2 I have a passport, my only issue is the lack of security updates even if i don't really do much on my phone other than calling
Have a nice march James!!!!
Happy birthday James 🎉

Im not even into tech that much , watching this video cause I just enjoy listening to his explain things
james checking in to show he's alive
james : It uses android 8 which is fairly outdated
Me with my HTC HD2 : Huh hold my beer !!
100 percent would date. You had me at arch Linux and table top simulator ❤💦😂
Hi James, Would love to see you make some Thinkpad or linux related videos. Love your videos brother
Happy birthday james u may get all happiness that u want it
have a nice march too bro🤠
i love the concept, tried buying a unihertz titan slim but they stopped supporting the software after less than 1.5 yers lol
James, I need a study with me videos pls😢
I've been considering getting a light phone 2 or just a general dumbphone, I'm going to uni for game development so not much id really need a smartphone for, blackberry seems cool as a linux user though
Hi James, amazing vid as usual! I was wondering if u were going to start doing study with me’s again?
Blackberry is gonna make a come back in the future.
I would have thought playing Tabletop Simulator was against the GRIND, J.
Hey jv, love the content, do you think you could make a video about how to make your pc minimalistic/ dumb pc?
hey man I wanted to ask how you spend your leisure time, do you ever binge-watch shows, or play games on weekends? I tend to have one day a week allocated to bugging out but I wanted to ask how you allocate free time.
On witch website did you bought the choppers tshirt from? Big fan bydwy!
Current backup phone, love it, can make it a good "dumb phone" too by just not having any apps.
My friend, please continue your Pomodro videos, we miss working with you very much.
bro never misses

Hey James, what were those two pieces of software regarding emacs at 2:05? Have a good March, mate.
Wish you a nice March too!

Now im slightly concerned if I have a good enough headphone jack
Victor Tsoi vibes are crazy with this guy.
Ah i was almost convinced to switch over to a blackberry
Hey james, I was wondering what you daily routine consist of as(I assume)you're done with school
In fact I used BlackBerry as an organizer and alarm clock for a while until it died It was wonderful I feel sorry that we no longer see any new versions of it :(
Your taste for ur gadgets is pretty nice. when I grow up I want to have some amazing stuff like u

The BlackBerry movie that came out in 2023 is a must watch!
hey,What's your watch it looks pretty good!

Men sad. Men see mika. Men happy.
must be fun to emulate some old ds games on that thing :>
when i see a james scholz video, i start convulsing
do you still use habitify or notion?
Thank you for changing my mindset 😳😳
concur
