@JessTheUnstill One of the big fuckups for BlackBerry was just the delays in getting BlackBerry 10, plus the Z10 and Q10, to market.

I got to use BB10 for a couple of months, and it was nice. It was built on QNX, with a modern swipe/gesture based UI built with Qt.

Arguably a better OS than the iOS and Android releases at that same time.

There was a feature called the Hub, which wax a unified inbox for your email messages, social posts, and text messages. Plus a modern app store, and separate personal/work profiles built into the OS.

There was a version without a physical keyboard (Z10) and with (Q10).

The problem is they didn't start working on it until 2010, and BB10 wasn't released until 2013.

For about two years before BB10 came out, BlackBerry didn't release any new phones.

Had BB10 come out earlier, it *might* have saved the company.

@SiteRelEnby what abt the 'ol BBOS sounds?

I found this zip file, containing all the sounds on this CrackBerry post!

@mayor I feel ya! #crackberry

@taylorlorenz as a recovering #crackberry addict I would have hoped for the contoured keyboards of the bold and not the chicklet keyboards that non #blackberry phones used to have.
