2010 when people used to talk about call

I love watching this old videos... It shows that how far have we gone on the phones so fast

[OmarKrauser]

This is the perfect video to fall asleep too.

Missed those days when they were mentioning checkerboard on screen hahahaha

[YZYE]

I want to buy one of these old Black Berry’s, they’re so cool.

[annieyoon]

thank you so much for this video i really needed someone to help me decide!

[jklfafa]

I would good for the blackberry as well. Battery life is a big factor. I am in agreement with the UI. love the OS and snappy feel.

I think the problem is is that iphones were designed for pleasure and blackberries were for business use.  So it is hard to compare the  two when both have different purposes.

Why am I getting this recommended in 2021, 10 years after the video was Uploaded. Been watching John for a while now, let’s bring back the segment

[JayPknee]

anyone else watch him flail his arms around on the blackberry's reflection?

John, I know this was a few years ago, but for God's sake, admit the Blackberry Torch was terrible. The scrolling was awful, it was clunky, the apps were unreliable and service was patchy at best, the display was low resolution, the support was dying quicker than anything I'd ever seen besides Web OS, and the call quality didn't exist. The iPhone 4 beat it in every single way.

I absolutely LOVE my BB Torch. I just can't get used to the iPhone virtual keyboard. I now the BB is slower but it does everything I need, gives me the keyboard I want, and the email and other notifications are flawless. I just wish that BB came out more phones so they stayed competitive. Maybe BB10 which comes out in January 2013.

[FRAAviation]

Wow. Back then, there seemed to be a comparison needed to choose between iPhone & Blackberry and now you're like "What's Blackberry again?"

[tungvu]

can't believe it's been 9 years already!

Blackbery is the most lag phone all the way. I love samsung. But now i choose iphone on 2014. Because so smooth. Not lag at all. And the most thing is superb stable. Hehehe

[Josiah_Cornett]

No. The battery life has nothing to do with memory management. It has to do with a low res screen! You are totally wrong, though, Blackberry loses HANDS DOWN!! The UI is AWFUL and the phone is incredibly glitchy! People just need to admit that Blackberry is dead! Even if they made a fantastic phone, it would be too little, too late!

I'm not an Apple Fanboy at all but despite what today's tech offers now, if I were back in 2010 and if these two devices were the only two choices, i'd totally choose the iPhone over the Blackberry. But for me, back in 2010, what I actually did was I chose neither of these OEMs products. I chose Android. I think my first smartphone device was actually in 2010 and I chose the Motorola Droid X. There was no question about it for me. The Android platform was far superior to both Blackberry AND Apple iPhone. However to be honest, before I went full geek over mobile tech i mostly bought Nokias. BUT I did own a Blackberry Pearl before I jumped into the world and era of super phones known as smartphones.

its almost 2021, and T-Mobile is the #2 carrier in the US. How things have changed.
