Unboxing a BRAND NEW sealed BlackBerry Classic in 2023! Should you buy one?

💙💛 Please subscribe to support the channel! After January 4 of 2022 you can find lots of BlackBerry OS 10 phones at a good price, as many people think the BlackBerry smartphones are useless now (thanks, stupid journalists). I bought this forgotten BlackBerry Classic for US $129 and it’s in perfect condition as it was never really used. So, like saved it from oblivion (and turning in a e-waste). *** HOW TO ACTIVATE BlackBerry OS 10 phone in 2023 – it’s simpler than you think: *** UPDATE: I have solved the battery drain problem! I think from the beginning the reason of battery drain was my local cellular carrier (3Mob, it’s a Ukrainian virtual network operator). The thing is, because it’s a virtual operator, my SIM always switched between different networks (and used ’domestic roaming’), searching signal and thus draining the battery. Once I switched SIM cards and boom! ..no battery drain whatsoever. So sorry for my rant in the video (although BlaсkBerry OS is still to blame here, don’t have problems with this SIM on other phones). Some say that it may be helpful to calibrate your battery (especially if your BlackBerry stays at 0% for a long time). Here’s more about this: *** Huge collections of BlackBerry 10 apps and games! 1 - some of them are android ports, but many native as well! Angry Birds native .bar files are here 2 - call recorder and the only working youtube client (partly functional) are here 3 - #gid=0 exFAT driver is here Sachesi - Of course, it won’t find any OS updates for you as the needed BlackBerry servers are no longer. But you can still use this great utility to import .bar files and manipulate apps. #blackberry #blackberryclassic #blackberry2023 *** 00:00 Intro 00:22 Unboxing 02:01 All Classic models 02:43 Accessories (Leather Pocket review) 03:49 Does it work in 2023? 04:26 Negatives: Activation process 05:08 Old battery (needs replacement) 06:04 Annoying system notification 07:03 Overall performance 08:22 No BBM 08:37 Outdated browser 10:02 Limited VPN support 10:18 BATTERY DRAIN 11:58 Switching languages 12:39 The largest loss with switched off severs 13:14 File transferring problems (no Link/Blend) 13:43 Whimsical LED, no auto-brightness switch 14:05 Weird UI things 15:13 Trackpad selection is always shown 15:39 Android apps’ permissions 15:46 No custom options for contact groups 16:12 Positives: Call quality 16:38 Still can find native apps&games 17:15 Organizer functionality still works 17:44 FM radio!
