The blackberry movie was also surprisingly good
Yes it was, I also like the Tetris movie, seems that they are nailing these historic documentary like movies.
I maintained a website devoted to keeping Blackberry OS devices (which predate Blackberry 10) functioning without Blackberry Internet Services (The Bold Explorer). It was an odd thing for an open source enthusiast to do, but the old devices had a simplicity that was satisfying.
The major email services recently stopped supporting TLS 1.0, which killed the last working email client. Adios, BBOS!
that’s awesome!
The Blackberry Bold was probably my favorite line of phones
RIP
Mine too. I moved to a Pixel 5 with CalyxOS. It’s nice, but it occupies the same space in my life as my refrigerator. I use it when necessary and that’s it, which is probably more healthy!
BBM, email and that status light ushered us into a new ‘interconnectedness’. It started the process of making our cell phones indispensable parts of our lives.
I had a Tmobile Dash that was a similar form factor to the BB but ran Windows Mobile 5.x. I used it until the Google G1 came out.
