Whats your Blackberry story?
For what its worth here is my story, Whats your story?
I haven't used a Blackberry product since a Blackberry Storm before that I had a Curve 8330, after the storm I went to android, and never looked back. Until recently. I read the book "Losing the signal: the spectacular rise and fall of Blackberry" Then it got me thinking of Blackberry again. I started looking at old Blackberries for sale on kijiji and was shocked at how much some of the old devices were still worth, Such as the Passport which I never even heard of or seen before reading the book. Lucky for me I knew a old employee from RIM, Since I live in Kitchener-Waterloo its not hard to find someone who once worked at RIM. He had a couple passports, a classic, and Q10 , Q5 and a Priv. The devices were still in a sealed box, That's what brought me back to this form. I ended up opening up the phones. I wished i experienced these devices when they were new, but I still enjoy them, The Q5 and Q10 I have put retro Arch on them with tons of Gameboy games for my boys, The Classic my wife uses the classic to send me BBM messages to the Passport that I am using. I have been using my Passport as a coffee table device mostly, but have used it to detox from the everyday distractions of the new age of smart phone. I really enjoy the Passport its a good phone, I wonder if I knew about it, if I would have got it. At the time it was being released the local News was tough on Blackberry often reminding everyone that it was failing.
That's why i'm here.
