Do people still use these 9930/9900's?
So I just went on eBay and purchased a used 9900 (AT&T) for about $75. I'm not sure what good it would do for me since it's not upgradable to OS10 and can't be used with Blackberry Blend. I suppose I can keep it as a backup.
My reasons for this insanity? (lol)
My replacement iPhone 5s has auto rebooted 5 times and this is the second replacement unit I got from the Apple store. I need the iPhone for the many apps I use daily that are not available to Blackberry devices. Another reason is that I miss the keyboard and tool belt. The new Classic is too pricey.
Anyway, do people still actively use these older 9900/9930 devices from 2012, which run on single core with 768mb of ram? What do you do with it besides calls and texting/emailing?

Yes.

What a shame. Lol
They probably could if they wanted, but the strategic direction should be to get more people on BB10. I like my 9900 for certain things, but there's no denying that BB10 is the future and an awesome OS.

I have the one I'm using now on Sprint. I get the straight network connection speeds not through NOC that is slowed down. So you should be able to get the same as any other phone running straight on HSPA+.
