I made a video about using BlackBerry Classic (Q20) in 2024, It is my first Blackberry device as back in those days I'm a Windows phone fans. I would say just go for the Q20 instead of the Q10 because of the bigger screen (but it's IPS instead of AMOLED) and better keyboard (more function keys like optical trackpad). If Blackberry update the Q10 or Q20 with modern specs, I will buy it in a heartbeat. Straight to the point, great review!
I ordered a Q20 and I’m waiting on it to arrive. I can’t wait to try it out and compare the two. If they ever revived BlackBerry they would sell out so fast.
Just now i recieve my black berry porche design 9983. But i think only for call and text. And youtube also working. You guys able to use the bb world even my email not work.
It is so much wonderful and nostalgic to see people still review this amazing device. Please let me know where can i buy them now. I used many blackberry devices. Thalst BB 10 device i used was Blackberry passport silver edition. @LauraMalvoyante
The Q10 was my absolute most favourite phone I’ve ever used. I’m looking at a way to detach myself from all the digital media and this is a great idea. Thanks for sharing
I have always wanted a Blackberry Q10. I kinda still want to get one, I love how the phone looks, and it looks like it would be a great messaging phone. So if you want to still stay connected, but be limited (intentionally) it still looks like it would be a great phone for that.
I’ve got the Q10 White edition, among others. Stumbled upon your video when I was looking at the Minimal Phone, and now charging up my White Q10. Hehehe…time to go down the Blackberry rabbit hole again!
I'm a fan of BlackBerry, and I have beautiful memories with BlackBerry, but life is always changing and now I've been with the iPhone for 14 years and I can't go back to BlackBerry 🥺
I LOVED my Blackberry! Wish 2G was still available to be able to this and my other vintage phones that otherwise are still in beautiful working order..
@@LauraMalvoyante Your videos are very minimalistic and I honestly like it. You should review more old minimal gadgets and not only be limited by mobile phones. Great job!
Je l’utilise toujours en 2024 avec un deuxième numéro. Bon petit portable compact (par rapport au Q20) et de bonne qualité. BB10 encore vivant avec les Apk 👌
Still using my Q10 in 2024. I like it better than Q20 (which I tried and returned) cause it fits better in my hand and I could use one handed when needed.
Thank you so much!!!!! I have my Blackberry Passport, I carry it with me to whole Europe, having issues with hotmail, not sure how to make it work, but as of the rest, elegant, nice, handy, beautiful sutff, will keep an eye on your channel many thanks from Spain!
Was my favorite mobile with that excellent physicsl KB. Only problem is WhatsApp and many banking apps won't work. If they had this form factor with the current android os then it will be fantastic.
I had a Q10 in the past and loved it. I then had 2 Blackberry Privs and I loved them too though keyboard was not as "ergonomic" and the Battery kept failing after a year or two. Now I have the Key2 (1.5years) and I love it. Possibly the best keyboard yet, battery life is good, no issues yet with anything and all apps bar 2 work. It is on Android 8.1, so some apps are starting to not to update but I am not prepared to ditch my phone just for that. I could not live without a physical keyboard on my phone. I can type so much faster than with other keyboards and it causes so little strain on the eyes compared with having to look at 3 things (some of which flash) when you are typing on another non keyboard phone. We need someone to start making Blackberries again soon!!
Hi Laura. I’ve been using a blackberry curve 9320 as a secondary dumb phone for calls texts downtime, for when I’m not using my phone. Recently it broke. I’ve been looking for used phones now two options i have are an old bold 9780 or a Q10.. I’m confused between the two because I enjoy the retro aesthetic of the older one but the Q10 is definitely in a better shape…
Both are good options. I still have a BlackBerry torch that I love and use here and there. It comes down to which OS you prefer using and which device really speaks to you.
Great video! 🔥I've been toying with the idea of a Unihertz Titan/Pocket/Slim for a while just to get back a QWERTY keyboard, but maybe this could be the answer!
I usually only go places I’ve been before. If I absolutely need google maps I will take my Google pixel with me that day. But most times I can check the route before I leave and I’m good to go.
I'm curious, can you expand on the idea that AMOLED screens are better than LCD for someone with visual impairment? I would expect the perfect contrast true black being as being the reason, but you speak about LCD being harsh which I don't really understand. Also, the first few generations of AMOLED display were really bad in sunlight and the effective display density is actually lower than the PPI on the spec sheet because of the PenTile sub-pixel arrangement which was really noticeable back then. But again, I don't have visual impairment (well, I have myopia but we don't use phones at 1 meter of your eyes lol) so I have no idea how this affect you.
The AMOLED has blacker blacks than the LCD screens. I don’t have good color vision and I’m legally blind so the more black on my screen the better the contrast to read. The LCD screens hurt my eyes more since the contrast isn’t high enough and I can’t differentiate the menus as easily. Luckily I have e-ink for more of my reading needs to really prevent eye straining.
I bought a busted BlackBerry Passport off of eBay for $39 and replaced the screen, keyboard, battery and LCD. None of those items were usable and looked like they went to some war. Even a couple keys were missing. I reused the main board, speakers and mics. As a result it looks brand spanking new. All the parts only cost me $45 so the phone cost me around $85. I had one brand new years ago but I was POOR and had to sell it to fix my car at the time, lol. Glad to have it back. I use it every now and then. I truly miss BB10. People always gawk at it whenever I take it out and about. I even recently got Google Maps working on it.
Great video! Thinking about to replace my Xperia X Compact, with something more suitable to stay in contact (messenger, whatsapp, insta mainly), with qwerty keyboard. Thought about the Q10. Would that be a good idea, or should I look for something else?
Unfortunately the Q10 is limited for apps. Whatsapp no longer works. There are APKs for Instagram Lite. The only smaller keyboard device with all these apps is the Unihertz Titan pocket.
@@LauraMalvoyante Thank you for your fast answer! Since the Classic/Q20 has the same HW and SW, so I guess that would have the same limitation for me. Yes, I've heard about it! No used ones around here, and new is a bit out of my budget. :D
@@gtasomogyi yes the Q20 has the same limitation unfortunately. It's unfortunate that the later Android BlackBerry devices are so large. They are an option but the size is not as convenient. I don't like the bulky design of the Unihertz and it is expensive too.
@@LauraMalvoyante Wouldn't be bad, but since those Android versions are as old as on my Xperia X Compact, wouldn't be much better. Priv is just simply too old, SOC is jot better than in my Sony, and Key2's are almost as large, as my secondary phone, S20FE Samsung, so not too pocket friendly. 😩 Nokia's are rather obsolet too, sadly, was a huge Symbian fan... 😆
Hello, please help me with an answer: 1. At mine the wi fi doesn t work, it connect and appears on the right top but doesn t work in any browser. Is over for 2024 the wi fi or mine have a problem? 2. RUclips doesn t work neither with cellular data (i mention i don t have bb ID account created) Any ideas?
I don't know what is happening with the wifi but if this was my device I would factory reset it and then do this ruclips.net/video/7tu1VMWNGZU/видео.html
It depends where you live. If you are in the States it will be very complicated. On TMobile in certain areas can help and even then it's not great reception. I live in France so we still have 2g and 3g support at most carriers.
Thinking of buying a blackberry for messaging, calls and emails. I’m located in Europe, would you recommend to buy a “new” one unlocked for this purpose? Any issues getting started? My provider seems to have both 3g and 4g support for the later BB:s(Classic, passport) Thanks!
If you find a 'new' one for cheap it's a good option. There are a lot of great condition used phones. I got both of mine on eBay but there are other sites of course. Amazon is way overpriced for older BlackBerry devices though. I use my Q10 for calls and texting with no issues but I cannot connect my emails. I can still access my email through the browser though.
@@LauraMalvoyante Ok, thank you! I actually wouldn’t mind with the whole browser thing. Any issues starting up these devices in terms of WiFi or cellular data?
@@LauraMalvoyante Thank you so much for that information! I was going to buy one for an extra phone for work. But since it doesn't work I'll remove it from the cart. Pisses me off how they just swapped without caring if anyone wants to have a blackberry again. So sad to see such a cool phone die out. I have a Pixel right now amazing phone! But I do get the qwerty itch to write my text too.
@@Tactical_Response_Team I feel you. I love QWERTY phones and I am lucky to live somewhere where 2g and 3g are still supported. I also have a Pixel as my workphone but I use a dumbphone as my peersonal devvice. I switch back to BlackBerry very often.
Tried them all. Going back to 2007. The q10 was my ultimate favorite. I don't believe any US carriers will activate them, even though they are still sold 3rd party. Will any carriers activate these?
TMobile was the last I heard supporting these devices but many people told me this has ended sadly. I was not able to use mine in the US. I live in France so we still have 2g/3g coverage for now
@LauraMalvoyante I just got Blackberry Q10, but when I Insert sim, it shows sim company name but I'm unable to call or use internet with it. do you know any solution sim works fine on my android device.
I live in France and I use SFR and Auchan Telecom for my devices. In the US I don't think there is any support. TMobile used to support 3g but I think they have dropped it in most areas.
There is a Spotify APK that you can install. It worked last time I tested it but I don't have the link anymore. Check CrackBerry forums for the most up to date apps that still work.
Something is wrong.That phone should be able to read that card. I'll try my 400GB card in my Passport and q20 tonight. Although I'm honestly not sure if mine are too new and the card will work just fine.
If i could still use whatsapp on my Passport it would probably be in my pocket over my Xperia 1V. I just prefer having a physical keyboard. Glass is just not as reassuring and im constantly making mistakes.
ahm........ you are in france and use 4G without problems ????? With a BB 10 device: Phone Calls over 4G (VoLTE) ???? Afaik, that is not possible! Long time ago, it was - in the US Today, normally, BB devices switch from 4G to 3G - when you make aphone call - Upside on the display = 3G ! You'll have Internet over LTE - but NOT VoLTE (Phone Calls) ! If you CAN have VoLTE in france: please tell ma and correct me 🙂
An intersting video. It leaves me with the thought of "What would it be like if Blackberry had been better at marketing their phones ??". The world of mobile phones would be very different if there were a viable alternative to Apple and Android ??
They really dropped the ball when Apple came on the scene. If decisions had been taken to compete and out market Apple, the mobile phone market would be more varied I believe. Looking back phones were so different 10-15 years ago. We could have gone so many different directions but we all chose the glass slab.
great, got on the day aswell - for 3 Euros. Its very slow and needs a good refurbishment. Luckily you can get all then neccessary parts for less than 100 Euros - so you got a perfect 4g dumbphone for that price

@@LauraMalvoyante I've been trying to get used to it since the mytouch 3g back in 2009 and I never got used to it so it's not going to start now, lol.
❤❤❤❤❤
The Problem with my Q20 is that's its a sealed battery...i prefer Q10
Yes I agree. A huge disadvantage having a sealed battery.
I love that phone
i have the white one!
I love the white one!
Is Spotify supported in 2024?
You can add a Spotify APK. It's a bit slow but it works
Good vid!
Thanks!
@Laura: please don't forget me to tell abaout making phone over VoLTE in france! i don't beleave it......
Just tested and indeed the calls are on 3g (H) when I call. We still have 2g, 3g networks up and running. The data works on 4G.
Salut tu a un lien apk Facebook lite qui fonctionne stp ?
le lien que j'ai utilisé n'a plus de chance, mais consultez le forum CrackBerry pour de nouveaux liens.
@@LauraMalvoyante oui c’est compliqué. J’en ai trouvé un, mais il fonctionne que a la première connexion… je vais essayer d’en trouver d’autres
I’m using my blackberry passport as my dummy phone
@@azixroshali9879 that's a great phone. It's on my list of BlackBerry's to get.
Is whatsapp still work?
No it does not 🫤
ahm........ you are in france and use 4G without problems ????? With a BB 10 device: Phone Calls over 4G (VoLTE) ????
Afaik, that is not possible! Long time ago, it was - in the US
Today, normally, BB devices switch from 4G to 3G - when you make aphone call - Upside on the display = 3G !
You'll have Internet over LTE - but NOT VoLTE (Phone Calls) !
If you CAN have VoLTE in france: please tell ma and correct me 🙂
Usando bb10 a día de hoy
Is there any way to download WhatsApp?
No not anymore
make qwerty phone great again
I would wear this on a tshirt 😄
Whatsapp working and not working
Not working 😞
Too bad. If I could get whattsapp on OS 10 that's all I would need along with browser, text and calls
Why do you look like AI?
You can’t use these nothing works properly
I use it as a phone/texting device just fine. I do not use any apps though.
An intersting video. It leaves me with the thought of "What would it be like if Blackberry had been better at marketing their phones ??". The world of mobile phones would be very different if there were a viable alternative to Apple and Android ??
They really dropped the ball when Apple came on the scene. If decisions had been taken to compete and out market Apple, the mobile phone market would be more varied I believe. Looking back phones were so different 10-15 years ago. We could have gone so many different directions but we all chose the glass slab.
Yeah remember that expensive Superbowl commercial. It had some elephant walking around. Terrible!
great, got on the day aswell - for 3 Euros. Its very slow and needs a good refurbishment. Luckily you can get all then neccessary parts for less than 100 Euros - so you got a perfect 4g dumbphone for that price
Yes it is a privilege to get cheap used devices and parts.
@projectberry10
i use the bb key2 - amazing. q10 is a gem, i agree ♥
I’m thinking about getting a Key2
