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 itโs 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 itโs 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, itโs a Ukrainian virtual network operator). The thing is, because itโs a virtual operator, my SIM always switched between different networks (and used โdomestic 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 BlaัkBerry OS is still to blame here, donโt 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). Hereโs 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 wonโt 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.
