Farewell Classic Blackberry Phones

Classic Blackberry devices were discontinued today. The original smartphone has continued to decline in popularity over the past few years. We owned a couple of them in the 2000s and thought they were pretty cool until we got the T-Mobile MyTouch phone which came with the Android phone OS. I think the physical keyboard was a plus and its durability was what I liked about them. I do wonder how many people will admit to still using them.

Quote Of The Day

The essence of optimism is that it takes no account of the present, but it is a source of inspiration, of vitality and hope where others have resigned; it enables a man to hold his head high, to claim the future for himself and not to abandon it to his enemy.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
