BlackBerry®

A BlackBerry® 7290 smartphone

My love for BlackBerry® smartphones began a bit later than most when I inherited a hand-me-down BlackBerry® 7290 smartphone in early 2010. By then, it wasn’t exactly cutting-edge to most people, but the ability to use instant messaging services like Windows Live™ Messenger and Yahoo!® Messenger on the go was mind-blowing to me.

I fondly miss BlackBerry smartphones and the wider diversity that the mobile phone market once offered more than most. The projects that I’m working on are are my way of honouring their timeless appeal and breathing new life to an iconic piece of tech history that has been all but forgotten.

In the meantime, if there’s anything BlackBerry-related that I can help with, please email me at blackberry@connorgurney.me.uk.
