Hello Adam. This is my first comment regarding videos that you make on Blackberry type content. I just wanna say a big Thank you for your work in maintain Blackberry "World" of fans. I used Blackberry Classic for 6 years and now I'm using Key2 and could not use something without a real keyboard. I'm not worried about Key2 usage for next few years. I bought two extra batteries, just for backup repair reasons. Anyway .... in few years I really do believe I'll get a new Onward Mobility Blackberry phone. Success on all your RUclips work. It is fantastic :) And ... happy birthday!
@@TechOdyssey They need to bring back the blackberry QNX OS. I can see a market for something more secure and customizable for enterprise/gov that can sandbox the Android data beast to hit other demographics. Sailfish ran with the torch, similar user journeys and experience but they dropped the ball on aesthetics in my opinion it's a bit of a dog's breakfast it needs some polish and leadership. Happy birthday!
Salute. You’re one of the best Tech RUclipsrs today (not being a suck up) because you actually care about the products/devices that you review and cover. I wish we had more straight shooters like you! Also, Happy Birthday ✊🏾
DUDE - F/T job, 6 kids and YT channel!! Mad respect for you and your dedication to helping us BB diehards. I was using my Classic until Jan 2022 then I switched over to the Key2 LE. I am on Verizon and Key2 LE works fine. I walked into corporate store on Jan 4th and talked to manager and tech guy to ensure they would accept the Key 2 LE and they did. I told them they are still offering the Key 2 on their business side (still on website today) so there were no arguments they simply put in a 4g Sim and it worked. My classic worked fine without all those updates for years so I will keep this phone until literally the last minute. Plan is to upgrade to OM phone.
Hello, Thank you for everything you do for the Blackberry community. I live in Europe, in France, I always use my Blackberry Classic. Since January 4th, I don't see any difference: I can call, receive calls, send / receive sms, receive my Gmail notifications. I don't use any Blackberry services since a long time. I'm just limited on some websites, because of a certificate problem, but this problem has been around for years. Bon anniversaire !
Adam, as usual great job! ... thank you for your continuous Blackberry updates ! We all appreciate your work and for being so authentic.👍 We anxiously await the new Onward Mobility new blackberry !! Happy birthday, my friend and have an excellent day , you deserve it !🥃
Happy Birthday, and thanks for the review, Verizon hasn't said anything about making us switch. In fact one of the agents told me that I would be surprise how many BB user they have.
@@TechOdyssey Happy Birthday. Is there any way you could send me an old BlackBerry phone to review? I would include a link to your channel. I am local so the postage should not take a long time. Thanks for your reviews
you are one of the guys that I would sit and talk with in class about some new technology and the teacher gets mad at us for not sharing with the rest of the class. We share with the rest of the class and the teacher says Thank You.
I love my Blackberry KeyOne Black Edition! I am super grateful for TechOdyssey! His Blackberry videos are so informative and detailed. Us Blackberry lovin' folks would be lost without you bud! Many thanks and Happy Birthday!
Thank you Adam and Happy Birthday, belated: May good luck follow you wherever you go! May your blessings out number the shamrocks that grow! Many happy trails with family friends and you! Bill
Thanks for the update. My Key1 is 4 years old now and glitches a bit with deleting text when typing so hanging on for the new model (this year... in theory)
Thank you for keep us updated. In 2006-2007 you can get push emails on your blackberry curve 8310 are essential, ditch laptop and pc to get an email, changed to not so well blackberry storm but still loves it then move on to monza but still loves the physical keyboards so back to blackberry Q10, my last blackberry is the blackberry Aurora. If RIM made a new phone definitely I'm gonna use it again.
Makes me wonder how "BlackBerry-ite" the future OM phone will be? will we get the Hub for instance? Or will we get just an Android phone with a keyboard?
Happy belated birthday! Thanks for the updates with regards to BlackBerry. I always find your videos to be very informative, I don't really get my blackberry news from anywhere else
Thank you for this encouraging video. Just got here after the video that Onward Mobility has shut down and there won’t be a new BlackBerry coming out. So yes, it very much feels like one hit after the other. First, in fear my Q10 would stop working after having it since it came out, with the end of the BB10 software, then got a used KeyOne because I needed a reliable BB backup, but thinking I’ll get the new Onward Mobility one, so no need to invest big… and now this. Why does BlackBerry hate its loyal users?why am I being punished for liking their reliable and great, secure phones?
That’s a good question. If they’re no longer going to support it then I would guess that the payments would end, but who knows with google and the play store.
I am in the same state! ATT just dropped all my calls. I cannot make calls anymore and they immediately offered an upgrade. So upsetting!!! I can no longer use work VPN remote work at home!
First, HAPPY CAKE DAY🎂! Second, thank you for all the updates👍. Your information has helped me stay ahead of the wild ride we are on being a BlackBerry Key2 user. Keep up the good work!
I have been using blackberry from post 9 years and a user of Blackberry Keyone from past 4 and half year , now my Keyone is shutting down automatically , after consulting a locat tech i ordered BB battery from amazon and tried but unfortunatley it still remains same , My phone is switching off automatially , I have no idea how to use other phones apart from BB , From 2 days my phone is off and im disconnected from cellular world . Suggest me what i should do now . I do not want to use any other device , shall i buy a new bb or what is the root cause of this issue . I am just waiting for the BB 5g from Onward Mobility since past 1 year when they announced .
So one has to wonder why Blackberry still has onward mobility pressing forward with a new phone if they are not going to even support the android apps anymore. Is it literally just going to be a keyboard android that says blackberry on the device, or are they going to do something else software wise.
Glad I found your channel. I especially like your confessions that even with all your expertise you still get caught out when buying a handset. It is just a bloody jungle for the rest of us. I am glad I kept my Passport and didn't go key/priv etc. And Happy Birthday.
Happy Birthday!!! I'm ready and waiting (with my Key 2) for the OM phone! Saw a YT vid yesterday that said it will be a Key 3 and it listed all kinds of specs over fancy promo footage, but no one else seems to be commenting on that, so I have my doubts about the veracity, but we'll see (apparently soon). Standing by! Oh, and six kids? Time for a vasectomy, brother!
Hey TechOdyssey thanks again for being Blackberry Champion and keeping us informed (the most valuable ressource after love and friendship! Don't do too much to get your health in danger we need you on the long long run and we care about your Brother Adam! We will be there whaever the time between your posts! God bless you and your wonderful family !
Is it just the BlackBerry apps on BlackBerry's that are going EOL? I just moved to Titan Pocket but installed BlackBerry apps from play store and seriously considering the monthly subs to keep them. What will happen to those subs in August? Oh, and Happy Birthday!! 🎂
FYI, EQ Bank just updated their app & it does not include Android 8.1.0. I found out the hard way, when I deleted the old app from my Keyone & tried to reload from Google Play.
Look for the best $$ deal/price... they are comparable... only Main difference is the lack of track pad on the LE's keyboard. Hope that helped. Oh, and the back of the original key2 has a better build quality / BlackBerry emblem. The LE has sticker decals whereas the original key2 has chrome plating.
The Hub is the one BB app I couldn't live without. What a great concept! Why are there not more apps like the Hub? Edited to ask: what BB apps will the 5G Onward Mobility Phone run/ship with? No Hub?
Happy birthday and thank you for keeping us updated. I'm still using my KEY2. I have keyboard issues and auto word fills, so will be happy when a new phone arrives. Really not interested in anything else out there.
Here in Ontario, Canada all service providers are no longer supporting any blackberry phones or tablets this does suck because i loved my blackberry bold 9780
My wife and I are still running our Z30 BlackBerrys. Business as usual but did buy 2 Androids for backups just in case. Text message notifications seem to be getting spotty
uk key one user here since 16. thanks for disturbbing info. no probs here with service as in us. Hoping against hope. i am set in my ways unfortunatly🤘
I can't find any other RUclips channels with regular videos who still give a flying fig about us BlackBerry nerds other than yours, so thanks so much. I was patient before the pandemic, then it forced me to learn to be even more patient, and now this Onward Mobility delay is REALLY teaching me patience 😂 I sure hope it's worth it!
good job on the videos! Thanks. I'm a huge Blackberry fan also. The Key2 is the best. It just needs a newer version. Hopefully Onward mobility delivers. Give us a pkb phone with a good camera. It hasn't happened yet but hopefully the next one will do that.
Thanks for continuing the BlackBerry videos even if the news isn't too favourable these days. I've put my order in for the Titan Pocket and appreciate your earlier reviews! Do you still use it and if so, how is it holding up? Cheers and stay safe!
I was going to buy the Titan but will they work when 3G gets shut down? Verizon will flip the switch December 31, 2022 Titan's work on 4G and 5G? I'm on Verizon. I've had LG phones, then move to BlackBerry Classic, Priv and then to Key One, which I'm using right now.
@@marthaparedes2288 From my understanding the blackberry classic may still text, make calls and access the internet depending on the carrier, but anything that depends on any support from BlackBerry or their servers won't work. But I got rid of my BB10 devices ahead of time, because I realized it was a done deal.
I've used BB's for over 18 years - I just prefer a real keyboard. I think Blackberry as a Company have shown little loyalty towards their customer base. I currently use a Key2 and love it for its OS, build quality and the size is just right. I'm seriously thinking of going to the Unihertz Titan for my next phone (which you reviewed - thanks) as it is very similar to the Passport I used previously. My concern is how long it will be supported or how often security updates etc will be issued as this is a "Kickstarter project" ? Some of us don't want a new phone every year we want build quality, value for money and reliability and will be loyal to a brand if that loyalty is reciprocated. (I've taken a lot of jibes from non BB users over the years but remained loyal to the brand and never wanted an iPhone and did want a physical keyboard. I feel very disappointed with the way Blackberry has "progressed").
Man, please help me. I just received a Key2 that I ordered over a month ago. My key One has been working fine. So I take both phones to the ATT store and they tell me, "We no longer support any BB devices." She asked me if I'd tried my SIM card in the Key2 and I told her I could log onto wifi and send/receive texts, but I could not make or receive phone calls. So the lady replied, "Well, there you go. Your BB is no longer supported on ATT networks." What are my options? I've got $400 in this thing. Thank you.
I live in Iowa and LOVE my BB Keyone 64gb but Cricket kicked me off and ATT wont let me on because this was a Japanese Keyone... Soooo who will give me service???? MINT? T mobile? Metro? Please help ...
Happy birthday to you and God bless you and your family, also nice to hear that you have got six children during these modern times. The news is getting worse for balckberry with every new video. I believe this is what CIA and pantagon wanted, which is to keep the best for themselves by taking away such an advance technology from the public. I hope the lineage OS guys will be developing their operating system for the aging and expiring handsets of balckberry (both android and classics) so at least we could use them once more to get more juice out of them. For me the password keeper from blackberry is very important because it is very secure, I wish and hope that I could find an alternative app which could be just as good and which would allow the data transfer.
Hey Mr. TechOdyssey thnk you for keeping us imformed on whether the new Blackberry is coming out or not because if it doesn't im stuck with a Blackberry tattoo i had done on my right hand in 2013 i wish there was a way i can show it to you so you can show the people in charge of making the new Blackberry and let them know how loyal i am to the brand ,im using an iphone 8 plus in a meanwhile wich i hate but im still hopping this new Blackberry comes out soon, i thank you again and keep your videos coming theyre very educational
Hello - my Key2 was kicked off of the ATT 5g network, but was told the K1 will work... so I snagged one.. now i find out that the K1 has to have the updated ACG696 software, which is now no longer available. any clue where to get this? Also, anyone verify that the Key2 LE will work on tmobile? Maybe I'll switch to them?
Would not touch a smartphone that is more than 2 months out on security updates, especially if my banking and other personal information is on it. Very dangerous game to play in this time. Back in 2012 it may have been okay to do that but in 2022, nope.
KEY2's last patch was actually August 2021. That's only a few months ago. Out of those only the Priv is actually losing support being capped at Android 6, and I only noticed issues fairly recently when a few of my apps (like Slack) don't support the API level anymore.
Only the 100-2 got the august patch. The other models and the unlocked 100-6 were like September of 2020. The motion I believe was November 2019, and the KEYone was April 2019. Very few people got KEY2 security patches up until August 2022. And I said in the video that the phones aren’t losing android support for compatibility. It’s the blackberry related apps and launcher.
@@TechOdyssey If only they weren't stubborn and opened up the bootloader, we actually could have patched the devices and made the more secure, lol. Now it's just a patch fragment mess.
If they are closing all these blackberry apps now, doesn’t give much hope for a successor to come out? Like launcher etc what’s the new phone going to use ?
Thank you for your Blackberry news and keeping the few, the proud, the blackberry crowd up to date.
You’re welcome

Happy birthday, Adam!
Thank you
Happy birthday to you and God bless you and your family, also nice to hear that you have got six children during these modern times.
The news is getting worse for balckberry with every new video. I believe this is what CIA and pantagon wanted, which is to keep the best for themselves by taking away such an advance technology from the public.
I hope the lineage OS guys will be developing their operating system for the aging and expiring handsets of balckberry (both android and classics) so at least we could use them once more to get more juice out of them.
For me the password keeper from blackberry is very important because it is very secure, I wish and hope that I could find an alternative app which could be just as good and which would allow the data transfer.
Hey Mr. TechOdyssey thnk you for keeping us imformed on whether the new Blackberry is coming out or not because if it doesn't im stuck with a Blackberry tattoo i had done on my right hand in 2013 i wish there was a way i can show it to you so you can show the people in charge of making the new Blackberry and let them know how loyal i am to the brand ,im using an iphone 8 plus in a meanwhile wich i hate but im still hopping this new Blackberry comes out soon, i thank you again and keep your videos coming theyre very educational
Happy birth day my brother 👍
Thank you!
Long Live the Blackberry---been using blackberry for 17 years
16 years for me.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! 🤗
Thank you!
Any idea how to get past setup on BB Classic? I'm using my apple iPhone SIM card and I can't connect Mobile. I miss the keyboard so much!
If Onward Mobility does put out a new BlackBerry phone, will that phone come with new versions of BlackBerry software?
what are your thoughts about BlackBerry's sale of its patent portfolio?
Video coming soon 😏
Happy Birthday Adam!
Thank you!
Hello - my Key2 was kicked off of the ATT 5g network, but was told the K1 will work... so I snagged one.. now i find out that the K1 has to have the updated ACG696 software, which is now no longer available. any clue where to get this? Also, anyone verify that the Key2 LE will work on tmobile? Maybe I'll switch to them?
Would not touch a smartphone that is more than 2 months out on security updates, especially if my banking and other personal information is on it. Very dangerous game to play in this time. Back in 2012 it may have been okay to do that but in 2022, nope.
KEY2's last patch was actually August 2021. That's only a few months ago. Out of those only the Priv is actually losing support being capped at Android 6, and I only noticed issues fairly recently when a few of my apps (like Slack) don't support the API level anymore.
Only the 100-2 got the august patch. The other models and the unlocked 100-6 were like September of 2020. The motion I believe was November 2019, and the KEYone was April 2019. Very few people got KEY2 security patches up until August 2022. And I said in the video that the phones aren’t losing android support for compatibility. It’s the blackberry related apps and launcher.
@@TechOdyssey If only they weren't stubborn and opened up the bootloader, we actually could have patched the devices and made the more secure, lol. Now it's just a patch fragment mess.
If they are closing all these blackberry apps now, doesn’t give much hope for a successor to come out? Like launcher etc what’s the new phone going to use ?
Hello, I have a question please, does Blackberry Hib+Service work on this phone? Thank you for your anticipated response.
Great channel. So what to do about BB password keeper. Can you recommend alternatives?
Happy Birthday!
