It’s 4:00 in the morning, and i just checked my BlackBerry KEYone phone to see if anything happened in the world last night. Couple of e-mails, oh wait… someone sent me a message through the contact info in my blog. Okay, let’s see what’s going on. “Appreciate your postings and viewpoint on the new Blackberry…

The phone of a pack rat
I couldn’t believe it. Over 500 photos on my phone. Some going back, honestly, nearly half a decade. I shall explain. I’ve owned my BlackBerry KEYone cell phone for the past four-plus years. It was a replacement for my BlackBerry PRIV, which was a fantastic phone until I accidentally dropped it and it banged off…
Read MoreA possible puff of smoke from OnwardMobility?
Recap. As I’ve previously blogged, I’m holding onto my BlackBerry KEYone cell phone for dear life. It’s four years old, and my cell phone carrier – Verizon – is rumbling that it may cull this phone and all other BlackBerry phones from their available operating network by the end of 2022. At the same time,…

Background. As many readers know, I am a BlackBerry phone loyalist. I’ve had my KEYone since 2017, I think, and it works very well for a four-year-old phone. But at the end of 2021, my phone carrier – Verizon – is dumping its CDMA network to switch to a GSM platform, and expand their 5G…

Once you go BlackBerry, you NEVER go back-berry…
I am a man of many brand and product loyalties. My car must be a General Motors vehicle (Chevrolet preferred), my camera must be a Nikon (but I’ll work with others as necessary), and my cell phone must be a BlackBerry. I’ve grown accustomed to the super-secure phones with the physical keyboards. I’ve had them…
Read MoreMore than just a “first world problem,” bud.
So yesterday, I posted an update on what I felt was Verizon’s sneaky way to force me to buy a new phone, despite the fact that my current phone – a BlackBerry KEYone – works just fine and does not need any updates or any modifications. The situation is as such. BlackBerry is no longer…
Read MoreVerizon’s latest dirty trick
Anybody who’s read my blog for any distinct period of time knows that I am loyal to my BlackBerry. I’ve rocked the physical keyboard for at least ten years – I’ve done the Priv, the Q10, the 8703, all of them. I’m currently driving a KeyONE and I love it. Then came the news yesterday…
Read MoreVerizon’s Asurion insurance company is worthless to me
I received a brochure in the mail. It was from Verizon’s insurance partner Asurion, and it discussed my options with regard to repair or replacement of my cell phone. If you are a long-time reader of my blog, you know that I am devoted to the BlackBerry line of cell phones. Yes, they still make…
Read MoreSo a Monet could be in my future …
Longtime readers of my blog will attest that I do NOT subscribe to the iPhone / Samsung cell phone juggernauts. And that’s mostly because I’ve stayed loyal to the BlackBerry brand for decades. And yes, I will answer your next question. They’re still making BlackBerry phones. And they have the security and toughness of their…
