Thread: What has been your BlackBerry evolution?

I was curious to see what BlackBerrys everyone has owned. Its actually crazy for me to think that aside for the warranty replacements I still have all the BlackBerrys I've owned. So here is my BB evolution

8703e > 8330 > 9530 > 9550

Here's mine

8320

Are photos necessary?

Mine has been:

VZW Pearl > 9530 > 9550

(Although, I should give most props to 9530 ...if it wasn't for all the issues, I might not have learned all I did about BBs...including messing with cods )

A short and funny story about the blackberry eveloution for everyone.

When the blackberry first came out, the company I was working with was chosen by RIM to be part of the initial test group. We were given the 857/957 for testing. I remember my immediate manager having to go to Mexico with it, so he tried the emails. All we got was gibberish. We all had a good laugh back then and pretty much decided the whole concept was a bust and RIM was going nowhere. Had we only known back then!!!

Now for my BB eveloution...

857/957, 6280, 7210, 8700r, 8330, 8350i, 9530

The blue highlighted models are personal blackberrys. The others are work related.

What did those 857/957 units look like?

mine's 8330 > 9530 > 9630

no pictures but here we go
8703>8130>8330>9000>9530-9630 back to 9530>9550

8110 > 8310 > 8900/9000 > 9700.

still loving the blackberrys, dont have the 8310 or 8110 anymore but all three others still get used but the 9700 is my main berry of choice at the moment, even if i still LOVE my 9000 (wish it had a trackpad)

im really interested in seeing what RIM come up with next after the 9xxx series (though i think it has a while to go) and also whats next in the 9xxx series

When I was with Alltel and my upgrade was available I stopped in and a Berry caught my eye. When I asked the sales person what she thought of it without a word she picked her's up (same model) and proceeded to throw it across the store careening across the wall and slamming into the wall. As I am an abuser of phones, I bit. No looking back now

i know some of the older berrys were tough, but imagine it had smashed into tiny pieces, she would have been heartbroken !

Well as far as RIM devices go my first one was the AOL Mobile Communicator which was a RIM 950 my first BB was a 7520 and from there I had:

7100i
7100t
7100g
7105t
7310e
7290
8703e
8300
8310
8320
8220
8330
9630

I could never remember the order of them however I have had over 200 devices since 1995. I always come back to the Berry.

Here is mine...

7250 nextel
7130e
7520
8703e
8830
9000
8900
9530x2
9630
9700

heres mine:

8110, 9000, 9700

Storm, Tour, Storm2, Droid.....

8703-8330-8330-8330-8330-9530-9530-9530-9530 and next year..........the BB is getting trashed for a reliable i-phone. I've been through so many of these things. I-phone doesn't have a removable battery because it's a stable system. RIM is going to continue to lose tons of buisness to the droid and I-phone because it's too worried about having 20 different models, all with glitchy garbage for software. Sorry if I'm offending anyone. Just rather annoyed that all the constant OS updates and they still can't get 1 single OS to run properly
