Went to the flea market yesterday and I picked up this Blackberry Classic (Q20) for $5

The screen is a bit broken, the back cover is scratched, but it charges and everything works so far.

$30 in parts and I’ll have the ultimate texting/e-mail machine 😍

If you want something more up to date, check out Unihertz, they make funky phones. The titan pocket model is a blackberry clone:

I hate Android though 😅

Don't tell me you use iOS? 😅

android is getting closer to becoming "iOS for poor people" because of google's actions but I'd probably still use it for the sake of customizability

They both suck in a way, more and more with time. But on android you at leat have degoogled roms, so there is an option. With iOS there is none, does anyone still jailbreak iphones, I had the first iphone, I remember the Cydia app store, those were fun times 😃

And if mobile and Internet is down there is still a texting machine like T-Deck plus or pro on #meshtastic with BlackBerry vibes.

This looks amazing. Do you have it? Is it any good?

I have the T-Deck plus. But unfortunatly broke the screen. But the device can be used well without a phone. You can even store maps on a SD card and see your and your peers GPS position

Thats great, I ordered one, can't wait to get it and tinker 😅

Hope you'll have enough peers around then.
