Yikes the sticky back. This happened to my old Kindle. So many good old devices to use.

@LauraMalvoyante short story mom found it in her apartment in a drawer I got a old battery of my old devices and it ran ! Should I try fix it in a way ? Idk how

I couldn't get my Airpods Pro 2 to work with the BlackBerry Torch at all. Super frustrating

Wow that's good to know 👍

@@jennafo No I didn't get one and I wouldn't get one even if updates are "promised". The phone still doesn't have FCC and CE certification.

@LauraMalvoyante interesting. So weird. I have so many questions haha

They really are works of art. I've seen people on Etsy upcycle old apple devices into home decor items and even coaters. My iPod shuffle no longer works but it's a great hair clip.

Pretty good. Depends on your file type but it works just as good as any other phone.

I saw those. I agree that old devices can do the same for a lot less.

@LauraMalvoyante - If one produced music and was an audiophile, I could see the benefit of them. I have a feeling I got the acronym wrong. Nonetheless, I think it's unnecessary for most people.

Yeah, the acronym you used, DAC, stands for digital audio converter, which is something that all music players, phones and computers have in order to produce sound from the digital signal. The term you were looking for is DAP, which stands for digital audio player. The quality of the DAC varies from device to device though. Serious music players and phones built for music will have better DACs or even just better implementation of the DAC. For example, the LG V series of phones will best ANY phone (or even iPods) today in terms of music playback and power given to headphones thanks in part to the tuning of the Sabre brand of DACs that LG used by the company, Meridian Audio. Implementation also matters as HTC demonstrated with the HTC 10. They used the same DAC all high-end Android phones were using but implemented the DAC better and was able to best everyone else that was using the same DAC. HTC was only second to LG at the time in terms of sound.

@orangeyellow-me1pz - Thanks for providing the correct answer. I knew what I wrote looked off. I also remember having the HiSense A-something and it had HD Audio when headphones were plugged in to the phone. I'm not an audiophile, but I did notice the bump in quality -- even for lower bitrate music. I couldn't tell you anything about how it works.

That's awesome!

This is very stylish! I will give my girlfriend an ipod. Thanks for the idea❤

Me too!

This is fantastic. The Passport is perfect for that!

@@theretrouniverse great minds think alike! I am watching your video now.

@@LauraMalvoyante awesome thank you!

It is a German BlackBerry. Germany has a larger choice of used BlackBerry phones than France or the UK. Also the prices are better and the phones usually come with originally boxes and accessories.

Oh no, you may need to keep going back and forth in the menus. Maybe the Z10 is more sensitive since its a full touchscreen. Or skip the setup menu, activate screen reader in settings then access the setup menu from the notification directly. This is all I can suggest though.

@@LauraMalvoyante hi, yes sorted that, turned restart on, but cannot get past tap bottom right on wifi to hear skip, then able to double click it, but will not let me get to skip. was ok on my leap.

@@alanhiggins147 Do you think changing the display size could give you more screen size and maybe allow you skip? This is a strange bug. I need a Z10 or Leap now.

@@LauraMalvoyante strange but true, it suddenly happened, all good thank you, I do get well once as the moment, it is popping up with " you will need to sign in with BB id to use some things like messenger etc; not sure if that will ask again or if I can get rid of that ?

Calls only work on 3g. I'm not sure ATT still uses 3g towers. I heard some people using Mint and TMobile but not ATT.

@@LauraMalvoyanteThank you so much! Amazing RUclipsr and response time!

@@tinblue sometimes I wish I were. I am a real person. You can see my live videos

I have heard some people using TMobile or Mint mobile but this varies on location in the states.

@@LauraMalvoyante thank you for that! love your vids, btw!

It handles pdf fine for me. You can always zoom in if you need to see better

I prefer the SLEKE for myself because it has essential apps. The Bigme Hi break Pro will be coming out soon and may be a lot better than the standard Bigme Hibreak.

@LauraMalvoyante thanks. I didn't knew Sleke existed until I pre-ordered Bigme Hi Break Pro, it definitely seems better overall. Hopefully it's good. If not I'll just buy Sleke afterwards.

@@LauraMalvoyante hi Laura have you seen Mudita Kompakt? Would love a review from you. That seems like a solid competitor vs Sleke device and big me

Hahaha. It's funny because I am from Pennsylvania originally and was around Amish a lot as a kid. They are the digital minimalist experts.

@LauraMalvoyante - Haha. I have no words. Love this story.

My music tastes are eclectic 😉

@@MisiekStinkyPants I saw this and also noticed that the CE European certification is not on the box either. This means people who ordered the devices in Europe won't be supported either.

Someone on one of their videos claimed that it did receive FCC approval but they didn't site their source and I wasn't able to find any evidence of them receiving FCC approval.

They have delivered some phones and some in UK and USA have received the devices. Seems to be working devices with bugs though and the team will be providing software updates by February 2025. See the videos from Jose Briones to get a detail look at the device.

@juslikefrusciante the devices can’t make calls because they still don’t have FCC approval. I saw Jose’s videos and I think it will take months to fix some of those bugs.

@@summerwintermelon I just checked the Sharp flip and now I want it 😂 It's a hard choice!

I was going to do a reaction video but I'm not wasting my time. Showing Google Play as the first thing to demo shows me this is not a digital minimalism device. The flashing screen hurts my eyes. They told me I spread false information and hurt their bottom line. I'm done.

@@LauraMalvoyante Oh dear I did notice the demo link you put up had been removed, the google play thing baffled me tbh!

Yes they saw. Of they did it to spite me. They are angry about this video. I am getting plenty of hate comments from their supporters and they told me I hurt their sales. So I am done.

@@LauraMalvoyante - LMAO, not because I think the situation is funny. It's because that was the moment I decided I'm not buying it either. I feel your criticism is valid. I don't know what's so difficult about hiring someone to work 8 hours a month to interview the staff and provide an update to supporters. These people aren't underdogs. They are just dogs. I was still willing to give the phone a chance despite their blunders, but I have little tolerance for hatefulness. I'm out, too.

@@Yaduny thanks. I'm also trying to cut back on Twitter and other social media. I only jump on to check for this device since it's so interesting and different.

@@holdenadkins8022 the irony is also their demo shows how watchable short form content is on the device. I like e-ink for my eyes but it does not stop me from doom scrolling.

Thanks, I will watch asap!

I will watch it asap!

Biased, not imparcial...they are unboxing their own phone, hahaha. And there is no talking and explanations, juat some music.

Yes! Less e-waste is my goal.
