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

๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’› 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 itโ€™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 โ€“ itโ€™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, itโ€™s a Ukrainian virtual network operator). The thing is, because itโ€™s a virtual operator, my SIM always switched between different networks (and used โ€™domestic roamingโ€™), 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 BlaัkBerry OS is still to blame here, donโ€™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). Hereโ€™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 wonโ€™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 appsโ€™ 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!
