From my experience from using a BlackBerry q5 for an entire year, I can say that my patience got much better; Having to find workarounds for most things on a BlackBerry can teach you a lot about patience, and persistence, things that I never would've guessed how to deal with with today's modern phones, maybe because it wouldn't be necessary at all to learn those things. Just know that the whole idea of having and using a BlackBerry phone nowadays is all about having to adapt yourself to the way you chose to live and make the most of it. At least that's what I got from it. Thank you for reading my 100 word essay about my experience and what I can say for upcoming blackberry users.
That's 128 words, you're an overachiever... That's ok, I found the same back when I had Android with about 4 GB total system storage so I had to root it to allow storing apps in SD cards (which everyone just said, just buy a better phone, you shouldn't need to ever store programs on multiple drives... Oh, yeah like we don't do that on PC?)
@@jakegarrett8109 Yes, anything important had to be done on my PC, and my total storage was 8 GB which was just some music files and photos, and, like a week after I bought my BlackBerry I already had to root it and put an SD card in it since I had only about 400 Mb free (System files took A LOT of space). After that, it hold on for a year without me having to worry about filling up the phone's storage. And seeing how people judge how I did my stuff, sometimes you can prove how they are judging it on the wrong eyes, only seeing practicality as the main pourpose of everything.
@@ILNSuryaChandra Smallest I've done was 256 MB for the entire OS and RAM (OS was living in the RAM, volatile and deleted itself after shutdown). That actually ran pretty good, I bumped it up to 715 MB (DDR1, which technically isn't DDR but you get what I'm saying). It was running Puppy Linux and was actually quite noticeably faster than Windows 10 on an extremely high end machine** **by high end I mean I was running sub-zero temps at extreme overclock speeds. I enjoy setting world records and prefer even my main builds to run iced over or with quad GPUs which sometimes means I'm running 2x 1300w power supplies to feed the beast just running games So I mean that's not bad, really shows how much Linux shines that it can browse the web just as fast on a potato as anything you can buy today (used minimalistic browser, so with slower internet it was I believe requesting less download material and that's I think why it was overall faster at loading web-pages and still snappy. It was on the slowest single thread tablet rocking an ultra low power celeron from about 15 years ago, but ran fine)
I just discovered your channel, and I have to say, where have you been all my life? I can't believe I have survived without your unique content during my whole existence.
I used this phone back in 2016. I bought it out of curiosity and surprised by its performance. Camera was a letdown. I sold it after one year of usage..
Nice video. Always great to see you pop up. Regarding the BB, you get this in big as Uniherz Titan and in small as Titan Pocket with Android 11. And EVERYTHING works. qwerty and all.
True, sadly nothing gets close to BlackBerry virtual and physical keyboard in my experience 👑. All thanks to BlackBerry, Apple and Android devices feel modern by adopting gesture navigation. I would love to see picture password in Android one day, it is still one of the most secured security protocol on a smart phone.
@@dibuamichael3070 you can get it through an app and well the unihertz are the closest we are going to ever get to a blackberry passport and blackberry classic feel sadly I mean the key 1 and 2 are nice but they just don't feel very nostalgic
No it's not. As I wrote to another friend above: I have the Unihertz Titan. Used to have the BlackBerry passport, so when it stopped supporting What'sApp and so many other apps, including BlackBerry messenger that stopped working, I though that the Titan would be my salvation. Alas, it's by far the worse phone that I have ever had and I cant wait to get rid of it. Sadly, I'll have to pick a touchscreen smartphone now, after being a physical keyboard user for more than 20 years.
Still use my 2017 KeyONE™ as my primary phones to this day glitch-free even only running Android 7.1.1! I still feel this model in black, silver-framed is the most beautiful smartphone ever designed! Great images, captures up to 4K / 60fps video and course, full QWERTY! Even shot two music videos with it (see my channel here)! Oh, yeah... fresh new lithium battery installed by expert gives me that day-and-a-half (or more) standby without charge!
Checkout the Unihertz Titan. I bought the slim for $320 which is very reasonable and feels like BlackBerry but doesn't have the BlackBerry OS flourishes.
My Blackberry Priv got fully charged but cannot start the phone. Power button not responding at all. Earlier several times this happened but I managed to put ON my Phone by connecting to my Laptop, but now cannot. Some malware is very active, malware enters to phone through power socket(battery charger).
Sincerely, I start to be exhausted to wait for new Blackberry smartphone, I have a Blackberry Key 2 LE (LE since I could not find the Key 2...) and I'm tired, very tired.
Blackberry Q30 or called Blackberry Passport. I have this phone as my collection. Also Blackberry Q10. When the phone were fun 😍 One thing about this, the BBM emoticons it so iconic
I use a blackberry everyday first I had a keyone for over a year but this week I picked up a key2 le I also have a big older blackberry collection I enjoy these videos keep them coming and check out the keyone and key2/le
You can get the Unihertz Titan. They have a new one out for $320 USD which isn't a bad price. It's a decent phone and keyboard feels like BlackBerry. It's very decent.
Not that it is a thing to brag about as a romanian but the romanian secret police (Securitatea, that later became SRI, look it up), is just one out of 4 secret services we have and it is no joke :)
Romanian Secret Police 🤣🤣🤣.........As a Romanian, I 💩 my pants laughing 😂😂😂 P.S. To bad that are so few who understand that Romanian song from a poem by Mihai (Michael) Eminescu
Virtual keyboards were never a good idea. Ever. They gave us the Kool-Aid (I had to type that on an iPhone 6 times to get it right) and we drank it. Seeing someone use an iPhone for the first time was what convinced me that the user was serving the technology and not the other way around. The world is not a better place because of keyboard less design. End of.
Apart from the lack of app, BbOS 10 is actually quite good. Decent alternative for Android and iOS. A shame, like Nokia they late to evolve and adapt to change.
How is that possible? The OS support was shutdown this year and the BlackBerry servers were officially shutdown. No more email support. It still works but can you get a phone signal on the phone?
I'm fully satisfied with Blackberry units. Especially the older versions. Currently on a Motion. I still prefer the OS10's accuracy and AI when it comes to predictive texting. This android version still isn't even at par with a BB's capability. The only advantage an android has are the millions of apps. Other than that. I'd still go for a Blackberry. I still have the Z10 and though I've missplaced my 9105. I'm still planning to buy another 9105. The camera was never a let down. It'll give you exactly what you see. No filters. I don't like cameras with filter tech even before you activate filter. Other than nostalgia. It's their sleek designs and advantage above and beyond androids. Just so sad it's been decommissioned.
It's the ultimate productivity work phone. The Priv key 1&2 still works. I recently got a Titan phone for $320 and honestly the keyboard feels like a BlackBerry and priced very reasonable. Great work phone.
You should make a tim cook blackberry video again but this time use flypigs facetime with tim cook and this time do a video with the title blackberry exec asks for more help
Blackberry will always have a place in my heart.
Nice to see somebody write this. I feel the same way :)
@@squirrellvr79 ❤️🤳
It was my fave phone. Shame theyre out of market
You hit the nail on the head Sam. My old phones become exactly that, alarm clocks.

Waiting for Blackberry to make a comback! ❤
I always liked physical keypads because I hated the idea of having my fingerprints all over the glass screen.
Passport... still was the best phone i've ever had.
Right. I'm so sad that BB will not build it anymore...
Still using mine as a second phone, and it still looks and works like a brand new phone 😎
Thanks!

Dear Sam, amazing video! And that Secret Police Horsey sooo cute!
0:57 Turning on the device turned Me On 😂😂😂eccentric British humour.
Still using Q10 right now, and happy with !! Phone + sms, don't need more !
I used this phone back in 2016. I bought it out of curiosity and surprised by its performance. Camera was a letdown. I sold it after one year of usage..
Whenever i hear romania in a video i either laugh or get slightly excited because that's where my family is from
Same here. He moved to Romania recently to escape Australia totalitarianism.
Lmao the horse video at the end has subtitles that don’t match up with the guy singing at all.
You're late to the party. Passport runs *circles* around the Classic! I mained the masterpiece that is the Passport for all 7 years of its life.
Nice video. Always great to see you pop up. Regarding the BB, you get this in big as Uniherz Titan and in small as Titan Pocket with Android 11. And EVERYTHING works. qwerty and all.
Unihertz Titan is a passport that runs android and the mini is like a blackberry classic but with android

Haha so your next BlackBerry is the Key2 isn't it? since that model has android version 8.1 and is still modern enough to use for today.
Best phone ever ….ok minus the camera
Still using my bberry classic today!
Can u make phone calls and internet?
Phone calls yes, and I could use internet but have no data, so I use my tablet instead.
still rock my Blackberry daily
better then Android + Apple I - Phone together ... nothing beats a physical keyboard =)
Totally agree mate. It's the ultimate work phone. I'm an ol'timer who's just used to keyboards. LoL
I subbed back when playing the piano came out, and my dude just keeps giving
Haha! I turn my old phones into alarm clocks as well.
That one time Romania's Secret Police horse hacked my SMS text messages.
Source - I live in Romania.
I'm still currently using a blackberry priv🤣
I'm still in love with that phone . I still have it , but sadly it stays on the drawer :( .
The reason why your BlackBerry isn’t working is because you have an expired Australian passport!
Hi , where was this recorded it reminds me so much of Timișoara Roses Park?

Using a Blackberry really trains your nerves

When will you do a video on the Unihertz Titan Slim?
Brilliant video 😀

What’s the wallpaper at 1:07
Blackberry Q30 or called Blackberry Passport. I have this phone as my collection. Also Blackberry Q10. When the phone were fun 😍
One thing about this, the BBM emoticons it so iconic
It is. The first a still iconic messenger app before WhatsApp and WeChat and all the pretenders.
Wowwie look at that keyboard 😍😍😍
😂😂😂 best bb ad.
Yo samtime, you should take a peek at the pinephone (with the keyboard case)
I still use BlackBerry Passport Silver Edition and it's still awesome 😍
I'm on a key 2, wishing I never sold my SE passport
Sam is a true romantic. Every time he gets a new BlackBerry, he's in love all over again.
My blackberry bold 9900 Internet not working?. Why.?... Please replay
Try a reset. That should fix it. If not the wireless chip might be damaged and needs replacement.
Hilarious as usual
Love u uncle Sam 💙
I've been using this since 2015. lol. as a back up phone and hotspot only.
Sam, can I buy you a beer and thus say thank you for making us enjoy your content? I leave in Timisoara also :)
Nice references at the end.:-D
Still use a BlackBerry... a tool,not a toy(Apple/Samsung). Had one run over with cars for 1/2hr, and it still worked via a Parrot...tough phone!
They were well built. It's a tool but that's it. LoL
Where to get one?
I use a blackberry everyday first I had a keyone for over a year but this week I picked up a key2 le I also have a big older blackberry collection I enjoy these videos keep them coming and check out the keyone and key2/le
I still have 2 bolds that im trynna fix but cant find a display for it. Anything for that keyboard
You can get the Unihertz Titan. They have a new one out for $320 USD which isn't a bad price. It's a decent phone and keyboard feels like BlackBerry. It's very decent.
Notification gang🥳
Samuel Tucker, you need a Unihertz Titan Slim
I'm using a key 2 for a year now
🤨
Best designed phone to date IMO.
Link to the ending song please!
I wonder if Session would have worked as a messenger app.

les go blackberry!
I held on to my Key One until SPRINT shut me down. Saddest day of my Life. But I milked it to the bitter end.
I really miss my BB
How you install telegram??
Passport was not one of the most widely used BB, as the Curve or Bold was. Use Bold, and I think you'd appreciate it more.
There were allegations of sexusl assault at BlackBerry
no good custom ROM for this blackberry?
it could be a pretty neat form factor with the right up to date android ROM...
You can't custom rom any blackberry
They clearly had the right ideas, but sadly Blackberry phones can't keep up software-wise. :,(
What a beautiful song at the end
And every now and then an app would even open! Ppl are too spoiled these days, they should bring the mystery of what the phone can actually run, back.
Blackberry come back please!
Sadly that ain't gonna happen. But I got a Unihertz Titan for $320 which feels like a BlackBerry.
What about the key 2?
Virtual keyboards were never a good idea. Ever. They gave us the Kool-Aid (I had to type that on an iPhone 6 times to get it right) and we drank it.

Just got a Blackberry Bold 😳
should've went for the Blackberry Key2
I use my passport only alarm, turn off signal, turn off everything and the batt still live 3 Week!!!! 7 years old phone.. :) i love this phone
Still a great phone but can't do much else now.
How are you liking Romania so far?
faină melodie de la final )))))))))))
Apart from the lack of app, BbOS 10 is actually quite good. Decent alternative for Android and iOS. A shame, like Nokia they late to evolve and adapt to change.
Apple made the change so
I still need this Blackberry even I'm using iphone12pm now lol
I still using Blackberry Keyone for my works
Still works like a charm thanks to Android. Key 1 and 2 and TBH the Priv wasn't bad either can still be used today.
I am using bb passport still for regular usage
How is that possible? The OS support was shutdown this year and the BlackBerry servers were officially shutdown. No more email support. It still works but can you get a phone signal on the phone?
And What Blackberry pasport 2 ???????
Always funny 😁
Blackberry Passport just need rerelease of Android version and that phone would be the best phone in the world today.
I think you can root it with a bootleg OS.
So true! I'm still using my Passport 😁
@@jonfreeman9682I don't think so. I've never seen it, if possible everyone would do it.
still using my blackberry passport
try to install google services ;) i still proudly have bb passport in my own sentimental collection but for sure its not very usable :P

Yeah, just so saddened by BlackBerry, no longer manufacturing hardwares... 😞
It’s hip to be square.
My key2 is still my daily love
Make a video with the BB Key 2. You will have lesser things to complain.
best phone brand
Guys i think he likes blackberries
I can see you’re into privacy. FreeOTP, Joplin, Bitwarden? Nice to see someone using private alternatives to mainstream, proprietary software.
meds
Yeah, try to keep it open source on my Galox
I have that passport but I can't use WhatsApp audio recording am in uganda
When will you stop?
Beautiful phone
blackberry more like beer-berry cause you have to be drunk to do this
I liked the romanian flavor of the video:))
Has a plan to bought q10
nothing wrong with sms
