BlackBerry Over The Years

**walt63** · 08-24-2012, 08:34 AM

I'm cleaning my office getting ready to move and I was digging through my "tech box" (box full of gadgets and chords). I found an old faithful. This started my love for BlackBerry.

Do you have any old BlackBerries in your "tech box"?

Yup, and every time I pull an old one out I have a need to activate it for a few days. Man, those things were built to last!

Last time I pulled one out, this was the outcome:

How about ALL my old ones.

Plus the 9930 and 9850 I recently came across.

Discovered this BB in the drawer when my company moved last year.

Here are the devices that have found their end of days in my desk drawer. Picture taken using my trusty 9930.

Wrong thread... - There may be a better discussion to post your BB Playbook failure.

**bbsehat** · 08-24-2012, 12:56 PM

Until now, i use 7130 or 7100 for backup Blackberry . If somebody have type 5810 or 580, I really want it.

**Frank Castle** · 08-24-2012, 01:06 PM

A few I've used over the years ... I usually keep one of every model we support for reference

Taken with a 9930

**montyl** · 08-24-2012, 02:22 PM

I started with the 7130e, moved away from BB to a Windoze phone, as soon as I found the 8330 Curve I was back, then a 9530 Storm, 9550 Storm 2, 9650 Bold, and now 9930/64G WiFi PB.

Well, I got my first BlackBerry device only slightly more than a year ago. But since then, I got so hooked that I wanted to try different devices, to see how each device stacks up against each other. To see the evolution of BlackBerry over the years.

In my country, the used phone market is tremendous, often I buy a device and try it for a period of time before selling it off. So I can't really take a "family photo" of the entire lot together, but I normally would take a quick snap as a momento. Well, except the Storm 9500, I got it of it the quickest, even before i could take a photo, so i grab a picture of it off the net instead. It was certainly an interesting device which I think was let down by the OS and processor, not the clickable screen.

Right now I only have a couple of them which i really like left. But frankly, if i could afford it, i would keep them all.

My first was a pearl, but my dad had us all beat so far with an 850. For those of you that havent seen it...

Enjoy!

**jason18** · 08-24-2012, 04:13 PM

Pearl<Curve 8830<Bold 9630<Bold 9650<Bold 9930. I always end up selling or giving away my old ones and turning friends into new BlackBerry users

**rmkilc** · 08-24-2012, 04:57 PM

This is all I could find in my closet.
