Blackberry Classic (As a dumbphone)
Blackberry Q20
Got it recently despite everyone around me telling me to steer clear because it's basically useless. But I like old phones, especially Blackberry (still have my 8520) and I remember seeing someone in a bus use the Q10 and I thought, wow that looks so cool, so alas I had to make that inner kid happy.
Truly a great phone even today. In my country, it still works on 4G. So no issues browsing on the go. It's great for texting and calls especially. I use it whenever I'm looking for a digital detox, and to limit my social media usage because almost no social media apps work on it.
Got some app versions on it that support Android 4.3 and voila, I can play some games, listen to Spotify and watch YouTube as well. It's not the smoothest experience but it works and that's the whole point imo.
Camera isn't good but it's usable when you really don't have an alternative and the battery lasts me a whole day with moderate usage and the standby it gives is of around a week on just wifi with airplane mode on and 3-4 days if airplane mode is off and it supports wireless charge tho I've never tested it lol
All in all, still a great (slightly dumb) phone with a lot of smart features today. I don't know why more people aren't using Blackberry's as "dumb phones" here, or at least I haven't seen any that are
