    Hello everyone. A few days ago I found my old bb 9780. Got some good memories and now I'm like super obsessed with getting a BB Classic. But I need an advice from some more experienced users.
    Is it really worth getting now in 2023? I need a phone mostly for whatsapp, telegram, gps navigator and maybe some browsing once in a while. Does BB Classic support all of those?
    I was thinking to buy a second handed one, its not expensive but still don't wanna buy something for throw on the shelf..i actually wanna use it..and I love physical keyboard

    Not worth it anymore. It can do those things that you are wanting but it will NOT be a good experience. Navigation will be slow and buggy and although WA and Telegram work (for now) they are lacking bells and whistles of the normal experience. No video calling, for instance, in Telegram. I would not recommend unless you are ok with reduced useability. Calls and texting (SMS) will be good and browsing the internet will be slow.

    I don't think any BB meets your requirements.
