i remember when i got my first blackberry i believe it was the curve 8520 ? cant recall what actual year but i think it was around 07 or 08 ish at that time everyone had a blackberry ! not to sure when android took off but if i recall correctly it was just taking off i remember going to parties and visiting other cities and seeing blackberry phones every where people answering there phones with the rainbow ish blinking lights visited Houston out here it was flooded with them for some reason i thought i was cool having a blackberry till i saw everyone with one lol didnt really bother me since i loved the phone i just started thinking about how many people i could get on my bbm lol flash forward everyone has a android or a iphone i just hope blackberry 10 will come back strong and create more of these memories its always the ones who be talking about against something that be the first ones to come back ! so come back strong blackberry 10 !
ive always wanted a torch ! but i gravitated towards the 9900 keyboard. i like the big screen would love to see a blackberry phone like the bold but just a bigger screen
My first one was the Storm 9530 (purchased a while after my brother got his Curve 8330). I liked the old Curve except for the trackball, and well....the less said about the Storm's clickscreen, the better.
That said, a few weeks ago I got to look at some old Berries (including one of the first color units that still had the wheel on the side for navigation). Going even further back though, I remember when we started selling the 957 at Office Depot back in 1999-2000. At the time I didn't understand why anyone would want their e-mail on a little 2-way pager-sized device! My, how times change.
I never looked at it like that but your right. When I got my first curve I was part of the in crowd. Now with my Bold 9930 I'm a lone gunman in a sea of apples.
I think things will get better with 10 but not as good as it was there are to many apples and people tend to follow trends.
I remember my first BlackBerry, it was the 8800. Got it in 2008 and I loved it! Pure communication device! And just like madman said, it is a sea of Apple products out there. I can't wait to get back to BlackBerry.

Are you sure it was the 8520, because that wasn't released until Q3 2009?
LOL. I remember a 77xx for work and I eventually purchased a personal 8700. Seven BlackBerries later, I'm still satisfied with a Blackberry as my main device.
Yes, I remember being part of the "IN" crowd during 2008 with my 8330, WOW have times changed, now I'm considered part of the "OLD" crowd . Still luv my BlackBerry , their going to have to pry it from my cold dead hands.....LOL
My first BB was a 8520/8530 in early 2010.
The first BB I ever played with was my mothers BB Pearl back in 2008 or 2009 (it was my sophomore year in High school, I remember that much lol) but I didn't like that phone.
Then she got the curve 8830 on Sprint & I loved it!
But I had gotten the Hero in late 09 then sold that & got the BB Curve 8530. Blackberry really went out of "style" summer of 2010. Everybody had them until the Evo & other high-end androids started coming out.
My first was the 7810 on sprint (I believe that was it) then went to the 8800. Then through all the curves until the 9000 came out and I just kept climbing.
