Felt a bit nostalgic yesterday evening. For newcomers to my profile or those who don't study those hashtags too closely, many of my earlier Pixelfed posts came from my BlackBerry Classic. Most are tagged with #shotonblackberry and #blackberryclassic . The Classic has a decent camera for close-up shots and it works well with the Open Camera App on F-Droid.

A Fond Farewell to BlackBerry 10

Some thoughts on the end of life of BlackBerry 10, my own BlackBerry Classic story, and the hopefully bright future of QWERTY phones.

Thanks a ton. Your pic reminded me my early experiences with the qwerty keyboard phones.. Nokie E62 and later a E5. It look like ages now.. I had really liked those phones..

@gopal Me too - I held out for a while. Every phone I used from about 2006 to March 2021 had a full keyboard. I think (and hope) that they'll make a comeback.
