TmoWizardZum Glück geht da mit meinem alten #BlackBerry #StormII (tatsächlich noch mit dem original #BlackBerryOS ... #QNX) nicht mehr viel als #Wanze, die dazu von #BlackBerry benötigten Server wurden vom Hersteller selbst endgültig abgestellt!😉
Dr BlackberryAh the #blackberrypassport. Best #smartphone ever IMHO.
As I'm sure you know, there's no such thing as an up to date 'real' #blackberry any more. The app gap on #blackberryos sealed the demise of #blackberry made phones some time ago
hackaday unofficialBlackberry Will Run Out of Juice on January 4th
Happy New Year, though it may not be for Blackberry fans. The company that has so often had their products compared to a certain addictive substance recently announced that they are ending support for Blackberry OS and Blackberry 10 devices.
What does this mean? While they won't be bricking phones outright, they might as well be. On January 4th, Blackberry will be shutting off all the key services -- data, SMS, phone calls, and 911 support. In official terms, they are ending network provisioning for these older devices, meaning that they won't be able to join any cellular or WiFi networks.
Unless you're old enough to remember, it may seem strange that these half-screen, half-keyboard machines once dominated the mobile market. But back then, the people who used them were texting wizards who had broken free from the chains of the T9 keyboard.
Though this news may not mean much except to a select few, it's still sad to see the Blackberry era come to a true end. We never had one ourselves during the heyday, though we did pick up a cheap used model to carry around as a tiny mobile writing device and calendar. We sure do miss phones with real keyboards though, and would love to see them come back. At least the keyboards themselves get love in the hacker community.

Memo (Backup-Konto)> "Problematisch ist allerdings immer wieder die Versorgung mit aktuellen Betriebssystemen für "alte" Smartphones."
Das ist leider wahr. Genauso wie mit Apps.
Ich habe hier Smartphones mit den Betriebssystemen #PalmOS, #Symbian. #BlackberryOS und #WindowsMobile liegen.
Davon sind Palm Handys die aktuell noch am besten unterstützen, da sie eine recht große Fangemeinde haben.
KiloJulezIch habe ein neues Video online gestellt, in dem ich erkläre, weshalb ich derzeit ein Blackberry Classic benutze. Inklusive einem kleinen Rant gegen moderne Smartphones und deren User 😂
