Blackberry phones catching my eye---who's still using them?
 
I've recently found myself looking at Blackberry phones--mainly the KEYone. I currently have an Iphone 6, and do like its ability to link to my MacBook, but I love the keyboard of the Blackberry. I really only use my phone for email, talking, surfing the net, and texting--not maximizing the ability of a smart phone by any means.

Now, who's using the KEYone (or a newer Blackberry), who switched back to Blackberry from other phones, and are you happy about it?

On the other side of the fence, who had a new Blackberry, and then switched away from them? Why so? Thanks for your input, everyone!

My wife tried to use one of the last ones they tried to market as an alternative to the iPhone a few years ago. I forgot which model but I think it was a Q10. She and I were BB holdouts and really wanted to stay with a keyboard. Unfortunately it had the user interface and convenience of a brick. It was just an awful phone. She quickly switched to an iPhone and I transitioned to an iPhone when my older BB expired.

I think there's a reason no one uses Blackberries any more. I hate not having a physical keyboard but the iPhone's ease of use and total functionality make it a horse to jet airplane comparison.

I had a Classic. Keyboard and email were the best. Screen and 'Apps' not so much.

My employer forced me onto Apple. Overall, an iPhone is far superior. As much as I hate to admit it...

I have the one that runs the droid operating system.

It IS NOT a Blackberry in any sense but the name................

I hate the fooking thing, marginally less than I hate anything apple.

I would use it if I could afford it..
I hate typing on the screen of the smart phones.. and make a ton of mistakes so I'm always fixing what I type..
I miss the BB keyboard..
