Blackberry Classic 2022 Review || It works!! The Blackberry Classic is still a champ in 2022. It works with AT&T and T-mobile MVNO's in the US. It is a great way to use a "smartphone" but without all of the distraction. The Blackberry Classic is a great option with Blackberry OS 10 and Android 4.3. The BB Classic is a excellent option for digital minimalism.

    @ElementsRage2 years ago Blackberry should have kept making phones and never licensed their brand. I would drop serious money on a 2022 version of the BB Passport. Best phone I've ever used. 141

    @theanimecompletionist2 years ago I just bought another one of these on eBay to compliment my other minimalist phones. It’s the most modern “classic” BlackBerry money can buy and while it may no longer be supported, I find the Android models to not really have the BlackBerry-flair to them. I miss BBs. ... 15

    @EdouardTavinor2 years ago Ah, the blackberry classic :) i bought one just to try it out in 2019. Software support was already fairly dodgy back then. But it came with a couple of preinstalled apps, one of which was evernote, and evernote still worked to 100%. This got me hooked on evernote, and sent me down the rabbit hole of building a second brain and getting things done and a world without email :)
    Evernote unfortunately rewrote all their apps for all platforms in 2020 and the Android version now requires Google Play Services to be installed :/ Google Play Services is just really useful if you want to sync data between a device and a server without killing the battery with poling (and it's also one of the reasons why for many de-googling their smartphone has some negative effects).

    @mattdebyl88062 years ago I have the PP, Classic (Q30) and Q10. The PP is more powerful than all other BB10 devices and works better especially with android apps. But the Q10 would be my pick of form factor for a ‘dumb phone’ ideal. 4

    @MrTeamriab8 months ago @JoseBriones Is the Verizon version of the Classic unlocked for use on ATT/T-Mob MVNOs? Which MVNOs have you had success with personally? Lastly, can it run Google Voice in a supported version? THANKS! 1
  • @
    @nrs69562 years ago Thank you. Not quite a paperweight. The "classic" was a great phone and now a good phone. This phone is simply a communication tool, not well as a mobile entertainment device. Still have my Q10! BB OS was/is best OS! ... 1

    @ejay20752 years ago I would trade in my big ass heavy ass laptop any day for a blackberry. I'd much rather carry this and do my productivity on rather than a laptop that's 10x the size and weight. Blackberry please come back and make an updated version of this exact phone. ... 3

    @waullyg61122 years ago Jose - Appreciate all the good info on your channel and web-site.
    I recently picked up a Q10 in excellent shape and love the keyboard. I took the SIM from my dead dumb phone and put it in but of course AT&T doesn't allow calls/texts. I can only text through wi-fi. No problem I thought, I want to leave AT&T anyway. However, the MVNOs I've checked so far don't support the Q10 either. As near as I can tell, here in the USSA, when 3G was turned off at the first of the year, they also shut down 4G LTE only phones; that is, phones that are not VoLTE compatible which includes BB10 phones. You mentioned Mint, but when I put my IMEI # in, it shows not compatible. I tried to sign up with RedPocket, same deal. Their customer service is the one that told me all carriers in the US dropped 3G/4GLTE phones. I'm wondering if because you or others already had one on the system, you were 'grandfathered' in, but no new activation. Having said that, AT&T forced my wife off her older 4G LTE HTC for the same reason apparently, no support of VoLTE. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks! ...

    @eastvandick2 years ago Still using a Blackberry Classic with Shaw Mobile in Canada. All I care about is calls and text, as long as those work I"m fine. I was never into Apps and just use the built in ones like the Calculator and the Remember App for notes. What I also like about Blackberry OS 10 phones is the LED Notification light. I assign different colours to my contacts so I can tell by looking at the colour of the LED flashing who has tried to contact me. I also have a Blackberry Passport as backup too. ... 4

    @ag1998_2 years ago Does VoLTE work? If not then I guess this won’t work after TMobile shuts down 2G at the end of the year?
  • @
    @nickalotdegit2 years ago I won't lie: I am still using my Z10 (STL-2) after possibly 10 years; so now the system notifications don't do anything I think it's time for a Fairphone 4. Thanks to Jose for proving that there's no point just y33t1ng these. However: I entirely hear what else has been said about the BBPP, specifically the Android kernal / interoperbility stuff. If that had been updated to even version 5 (i.e. Lollipop) and more noise had been made of alternative app stores (maybe even a legit method of installing Google Play stated by BB) all of these devices would have had a significantly longer shelf-life, if only second-hand. They might have even been able to salvage something from the mess they made by squandering their licenses. Stock Android handsets still don't have an ability to open let alone edit Office doc's or PDFs without apps; no QR reader or mote-taking functionality (etc.) by default; harrumph, grumble grumble, etc... ... 3

    @HanFollolast year Blackberry Classic connects perfectly with Volkswagen ID series EVs in 2023 and even has wireless charging. Makes it a perfect companion. The vehicle itself comes with a MAP app and some other media apps. You can also receive and make calls by interacting with the vehicle's touchscreen console. ...

    @jrnp25152last year I still use a BlackBerry Classic as an organizer at my home workplace. E-Mail, the calendar app Calengoo, and Evernote still work and synchronize without any problems. That's all I need at home as an add-on to my laptop. However, on the road I use today an Android device. ...

    @Chorith772 years ago I am still using this beauty right now in 2022. Perfect phone of all time. Best keyboard, best form factor, good speaker, decent camera, good screen, responsive, good call quality, especially, really beautiful. Everytime I pick it up, I'm still amazed by how beautiful it is.
    Apple music, Messenger lite, Telegram are working fine on this beauty. That's all I need from a phone which supposed to be our communicator. I think Whatsapp and line are still working fine, but I don't use those app so I uninstalled them awhile back. Best phone ever and Q10 comes second. I regret not to pick up the passport silver edition when I found very good one with a very good deal.

    @redemptionmusic6196 months ago I viewed your YouTube video on the blackberry classic. I then went out and I bought an unlocked blackberry classic running 10.33. However, as of this past week, I’ve been having tremendous amount of difficulty trying to connect to a carrier. I went to T-Mobile and I tried to activate it with a Sim card. It recognize the carrier and it only worked for five minutes and then there was no connection. I also ordered a mint mobile Sim card. We installed it did not work. I’ve tried AT&T and it doesn’t work as well. Can you please tell me what carrier you recommend that you know of as of now November 2023 that I can connect my blackberry classic. Thank you, J.C.. ...

    @lotharpeters59852 years ago @Jose Briones: Because, i am from europe: what do you mean with: "some carrieres are not working" ???
    Why don't you tell about: WHY are they not working at some carriers?
    This maybe HAS to do with Europe! - because, maybe it's about phone calls? LTE ? VOLte ?
    Because, i noticed, that phone calls on BB10 are ONLY over 3G ! ?
    - i read, that BB 10 phones can't make phone calls over LTE.
    It has to be VOLte - which BB10 phones don't support ! ?
    So: Is this the reason, you mentoined? The US carriers, which don't support BB 10 anymore,
    are those, ho don't support 3G ??? or, what is the reason.....
