The era that will eventually die - Full keyboard model review

With the trend of big-screen, full-touch smartphones represented by Apple and Samsung sweeping the globe, the two giants firmly occupy the top two positions in the smart phone market. Whether it is the once-north BlackBerry smartphone market in North America, Blackberry has always been passionate about Android. Full-keyboard model Motorola, HTC, gradually gave up the idea of ​​QWERTY full keyboard. After the main push slide full keyboard WebOS stops updating, the challenger of the smart phone system selects the full touch operation mode without exception. Whether it is Window Phone, Ubuntu or Firefox OS, the operation mode of the large screen full touch has been already Become irreversible, and today we will take everyone to detail the classic full-keyboard models that have been with us for years.

Speaking of QWERTY's earliest familiarity is, of course, the famous and somewhat mysterious blackberry. For a long time, BlackBerrys are only known to their names in the country. There are few people who actually use BlackBerrys. Once upon a time, BlackBerry was the king of smart phones in North America. However, with the rise of iOS and Android, the slow-moving BlackBerry gradually lost most of its market, and the enterprise-class market was in jeopardy. The recent BlackBerry CEO Cheng Shouzong said that if the BlackBerry is still not profitable next year, it will consider giving up the mobile phone business. Let's review some of the classic BlackBerry models today.

The earliest part of everyone's vision should be this 7290, a large shape, like a strawberry QWERTY full keyboard surface, very good feel. The 7290 uses a 65K color half-reflective TFT screen with a resolution of 240160, 32MB Flash Memory and 4MB SRAM.

The BlackBerry 8310 is a star model. In early American dramas, we often saw the BlackBerry models 83XX and 88XX. 8310 uses a 2.4-inch 260,000-color TFT screen, 83XX is no longer a semi-reflective screen, but the sun can still have a good display. If you see a shiny "white pearl" in the US drama before 2010, then yes, this is the BlackBerry.

BlackBerry 9000 can be regarded as a milestone model in the history of BlackBerry. It is the most classic business phone of BlackBerry. Its classic shape, full-textured leather back cover and unparalleled keyboard feel make it a benchmark for smart phones for a time. As the most classic model of BlackBerry appearance, the BlackBerry 9000 has frequently appeared in the street shooting of various stars, and holding the BlackBerry Street beat has also become a fashion.

The 9810 represents the BlackBerry's attempt to diversify. With everyone's preference for touch-screen phones, the BlackBerry has also begun to try some "cross-border" models. The 9810 is one of them. The 9810 uses a 3.2-inch TFT touch screen without giving up the full keyboard. Although not fundamentally changing the way the Blackberry OS interacts, it at least shows the BlackBerry's attempt.

In addition to the slider full keyboard, BlackBerry also comes with another form of full keyboard - 9670. As a custom CDMA model, the 9670 can only be used in the form of “burn card”, so only a few “geek” users in the country can use it.

With the arrival of time in 2013, the BlackBerry finally released the full-keyboard model Q10 again, using a 3.1-inch 720×720 screen, a dual-core 1.5Ghz CPU, 2G RAM, 16G ROM, and finally caught up in the hardware configuration. The rhythm of modern mobile phones. As the first full-keyboard model equipped with a BB10 system, the performance of the Q10 is actually not satisfactory. Under the new system, the full keyboard can be used without inputting text, and it does not have much effect.

PassPort is the most powerful model ever built for BlackBerry. It has a 4.5-inch 1440×1440 display and ppi up to 453. It has a brightness of up to 894 nits and can display well in outdoor light. The Snapdragon 800+3G RAM configuration also follows the mainstream configuration of the same generation.

At the same time Pre3 is also one of the earliest devices that support wireless charging, and Palm's famous "point stone" must have been heard.
