    Haha, there is nothing wrong with collecting phones, they are nice to look back on in 10 years time and remember the 'old days' when a 1440p screen was 'cutting edge'. Just don't bankrupt yourself for shiny new things

    My collection consists of a 8520, Q5, Leap, Sony Ericsson w910i and a Galaxy S3 mini. ^_^

    Took 3 1/2 weeks to get me a replacement under warranty.
    I tried to use one of my back ups, but couldn't remember or figure out where to put the SIM.

    One phone bricked, one phone exploded. Not sure which one has the most urgent problem.....

    For a company that's on life support, it has the same impact.

    My Priv does not see the magnet for some reason and have no issues at all. Not bad for a $7 case which protects the Priv and holds 2 CC, DL, and some cash.

    Okay, getting as into the act as quickly as I could discover devices... Taken with Priv 2

    Priv is a brick-img_20161211_1016417.jpg

    And, yes, that's the spare bed on which all of the spare phones are lying.

    There's my first BB, the 8830(?) World Edition, some form of Bold or Bolds (the tour got replaced with something), the z10, z30, Priv 1 (the Z30 appears before the Z10)

    As I've written elsewhere the Z30 sits on a Qi charging easel supplying data to Blend on my desktop and two laptops. It stopped functioning with the Samsung Tab S.

    edited to correct phone positions.

    The Classic, Passport and Priv look so great together. BlackBerry really know how to make devices look fantastic! Hoping one day I can pick up a Silver Edition passport

    There are 2 kinds of people in this world.
    Those that have devices which failed.
    And those that have devices that are waiting to fail.

    This is why I kept my Bold 9930 and 9900.
    I called Verizon and for about a day, activated my Bold 9930. They did it without even having to put a SIM card in it.
    Switched back to the Priv the next day. Nice to know I have a backup with all my contacts already uploaded if the Priv gets bricked.

    Same here. I believe in redundancy. My Z30, Classic and 9930 are ready in the wings lol.
