[WHEN PHONES WERE FUN: BLACKBERRY STYLE 9670]
Phone addiction. Screen time. Digital de-tox. In 2023 we’re well-acquainted with the narcotic effect smartphones have on our brains. But what if I told you that the first seeds of our mobile digital dependence weren’t planted by Google, or Apple – but by a Canadian company called Research in Motion, that made a little device called the “BlackBerry?”
Jump back in time to 2010 with me, Michael Fisher, as we take a look back at one of only two flip phones to bear the name "BlackBerry" – the BlackBerry Style 9670 – and on the journey, we'll learn about the rise and fall of one of the world's first, best smartphone manufacturers. Welcome back to "When Phones Were Fun!"

[ABOUT WHEN PHONES WERE FUN – BLACKBERRY STYLE 9670]
This is the 22nd in a series of MrMobile videos exploring the mobile tech world's most vibrant period in design and experimentation. In “When Phones Were Fun,” Michael Fisher re-reviews cellphones from the golden age of mobile, the decade-long span from the turn of the century to approximately 2013.
When Phones Were Fun: Episode 22 was made better by a pre-screening of "BlackBerry" by IFC Films, arranged by Qualcomm; and this video was made possible by bevy of BlackBerries purchased from eBay, loaned from fellow tech folks – or left over from the days when I still did BlackBerry reviews.
