Did you own a BlackBerry?

I had a Treo, but switched to iPhone when the 2 came out.

I had a blackberry playbook tablet.

I'd forgotten about those despite owning one! It was pretty much the cheapest tablet you could buy and could 'sideload' Android apps which was the only reason I got one. It didn't work very well.

Yeah, I owned a few models of Blackberry 7 and 10 phones as dedicated work devices. I only gave up on Blackberry when I had no choice. Loved the physical keyboard and the email app in particular.

Still use my (trusty) KeyOne to this very day (typed this on it) only bought it 2 years ago) everything still works fine. I don't have back-up phones (as other tech-savvy folks do) so this the only phone I use.

Love BlackBerry phones. I've still got my Q5 and Z30 (which I bought well after their release dates also) those last two (despite not being Android, like the KeyOne) still work fine (despite the rumour that any non-android model wouldn't work after 2021)

I went from a RAZR to an iPhone and never looked back.

My GF back in the day had a Palm Treo and a BlackBerry and I use to think she was nerd with her little keypad lol.

No, but for several years it seemed like every single manager or exec I came into contact with owned one.
