Beepberry! Tiny Pi-based Blackberry cyberdeck #shorts

The Beepberry is a tiny portable Blackberry-esque cyberdeck powered by a Raspberry Pi Zero W (I'm using a Zero 2 W in mine).

They had the perfect opportunity to call it a Blackberry Pi

I don't understand ANY of this as much as a frog understands quantum physics, but it sure looks cool

its exceptional seeing people reuse old device components for fun tinker projects like this, those blackberry keyboards were too nice to end up in a dump.

If really wish more phone manufacturers would make phones that have physical keyboards again. I miss this kind of stuff. Way easier to type on than a touchscreen.

Careful with this device.. Neither lsusb, nor lspci, nor dmsg recognize the rubber band and there are no drivers available for it. Caveat Emptor :D.

My God I miss that keyboard with a passion. That phone was the first phone I had that could multitask like a champion

[Nordic_Mechanic]

You HAVE to use the rubber band. It`s DRMed and its the only battery holder that it will reckonize.

Everything with a blackberry keyboard is an awesome product already

[WorstChicken]

Please make a long video about this. Thank you!

Ive been holding on to my key 1 for years. I use it to this day. This is the happiest moment of my doom scrolling. I cannot wait to get this bought, put together and programmed.

[singletona]

This is the exact thing I have wanted literally for years.

So it will be interesting to see how well it Actually works while I hope and wait that they sell these again.

Imagine using this as your daily driver. 😄

Instant conversation piece.

omg I really miss Blackberry! The Q20 Classic keyboard was so cool. I find it easier than on a touch screen in some ways, and the way you can use the keyboard itself as a mousepad was dope. I picked one off eBay a couple years ago, sadly for only $30.

[HappyQuailsLC]

Sometimes, the screen protectors are of high quality and well worth keeping on the screen for continued protection, unless they eventually start separating on their own, then there isn't much point in trying to keep it on.

[MrofficialC]

Those tangible keys were so nice before touchscreens.

[exidy-yt]

OMG....I have a Pi Zero W just sitting around waiting for something like this! I am So sold. THANK YOU for making this video!

[knanick]

Never unpeel that sticker til it's damaged!

[anre]

This clip made me chuckle hard.

Engineers never size to amaze and motivate me

[kbhasi]

I didn't think there'd be a project that would combine a Raspberry Pi Zero with a Playdate display and BlackBerry Classic keyboard. I'm impressed.

[RobertHolzler]

Now you just need to turn it into a cell phone. Seriously, I know a few Blackberry fans who would love that!
