    Blackberries with keyboards were the shit.

      I had an old Blackberry Torch when they were widely available as old corporate surplus. Should have gotten more. You could get a box of a dozen for less than $100 for a while. All the corporates were moving to iPhone.

      That Blackberry Torch was amazing to use. The screen was a little small, even for the time, but the physical keyboard was incredible. The camera was pretty decent as well. Even back when I got it, I think I couldn’t get data through most providers, and I believe even talk and text will be stopping on even the last OG Blackberries soon.

        I had multiple Blackberries with keyboards between 2007 and 2012, including the 8310, 8900 and the Torch. I loved them all to bits, typing was such a different experience on those phones. However, the first touchscreen-only Blackberry (Storm IIRC) was an absolute piece of shit.
