CrackBerry Kevin has Returned from the Future with All The QWERTYs (and has some thoughts...)

In this episode of Retro Chatter, Jake and ‪CrackBerry Kevin‬ discuss the Bring Back BlackBerry movement, its origins as not just a dream but also a strategic effort to revive the brand, and Kevin’s recent progress in building support through investor calls and potential board involvement.

Kevin shares insights from his trip to China, including meetings with Unihertz, iKKO, and Zinwa Technologies, where he explored upcoming QWERTY devices like the Titan 2, Mind One, and modded BlackBerry Classics (the Zinwa Q25) running modern Android.

They also delve into the ongoing QWERTY renaissance, the rise of intentional tech, and how these developments validate the enduring demand for physical keyboards and productivity-focused devices.
