    I have a headphone jack, it still has the hymen on it because it’s 2018 and we have Bluetooth.

    I dont know iphones. I suppose you dont have the newest one then? The 10 i think? My brother has the newest iphone, no headphone jack. I told him, thats a dumb smartphone then. If bluetooth headphones are anything like my bluetooth headset for phone calls, they will suck then.

    I have the 5 SE, it is the best size for me.
    It was dumb to get rid of that jack since I use an Otterbox.

    The Key2 is coming out soon. BB10 may be dead, but the phones are still here. Android sucks, but a Blackberry running Android beats no Blackberry at all.

    getting one is the hard part. Most carriers don’t stock them.

    One thing I don't like about the newer Blackberries is the sealed battery design. Hard restarts are great to free a frozen phone. Plus it limits the life of the phone. I replaced the battery on the 9930 two or three times during the five years.

    Like you said, better than them not being around anymore. As long as they keep making them I will keep the brand loyalty. You can find all sorts of parts and accessories on Ebay. I replaced the keyboard/trackpad assembly once with a new one sourced from there. Are you good at fixing phones by any chance? I would not mind getting the ole' Bold running again. It has so much sentimental value.

    Still have my last one, Z30. Need a new screen, bounced off a metal step, screen has a nice long fracture. Still works, no blank spots.
