Never had a BlackBerry in it's prime day, but naturally had to get one as a collectible :blackberry: This rather intensively used BlackBerry Curve 8520 was released in August 2009 and had 512 MHz CPU, 256 MB of internal memory, Bluetooth 2.0 and WiFi for connectivity, 2 MP camera able to capture 320p videos and quite well working optical trackpad :neocat_phone: More BlackBerry inspiration in following reviews by @1EYEreview@techhub.social here: Bold 9000, Passport, Storm 9500 and 6210 :blobcatreading: #retrophone #blackberry #mobile

We watched "Blackberry" on Netflix last night. I highly recommend it if you're into the history of modern technology. It says right in the description that it's fictionalized, and inspired by, actual events, so don't take it too seriously. But even with that, there was one element - an innovation by the RIM engineer to improve capacity - that I'm sure was the origin of something we now take for granted in all Internet-based communications systems. I don't want to give any spoilers, but it was cool. I went, "Oh, so that's how that started!" Other nice things for me were images of some of the old tech, including test equipment, in their original headquarters. There were some technical absurdities - again, I don't want to give any spoilers - but some of us will easily be able to say, "That part was pure fiction!" because the writers/producers got it so wrong it literally couldn't have happened. But overall, a believable reenactment, good casting, and fun to watch. #Netflix #Blackberry #Internet #telecom

Fuck it, I give up - the No_GMS system image for the #BlackBerry #Q25 has Google Share ripped out imperfectly, and so com.android.nfc keeps crashing *constantly* It's ~40% of my battery drain at this point, which is obscene Time to flash and 'adb disable' the GMS version I guess
