Looks like time has finally caught up with the BBC Micro of phones. My first ever phone was this stupid touch screen only Blackberry that was worse than useless. Except for one thing, it let you transfer stuff to it without problems. Readily showed up in Windows Explorer, and let you pull stuff off it.
A shame as everything else was so bad, and woefully supported, they literally dropped the ball and didn't think about opening it out into an app store experience.
If you don't know what I'm going on about, Rim, or whatever they're called now, have finally pensioned off the old Blackbastard phone and are no longer updating the OS. It means calls or internet connectivity cannot be guaranteed, let alone emergency numbers.
Not that it matters you can still play brickbreaker and wordmole as they are literally the only two games developed with it. I only wish someone would have ported protracker to the old keyboard phone as it seemed a bit of a no brainer. Anyway this isn't farewell more like a fuck off.
Oh and here is a time when we tried to port Android lollipop over with no little success.
