I still own a personal blackberry that was last used as my primary phone in
2014. I don't have it handy or I would give you more specifics. I kept it
because there were a few features (like the music player) that worked a lot
better than on any phone I have had since.
Something else that still works better, as you pointed out, is the battery
life. It still doesn't run down near as fast as the others I have had
since.
