I’d be surprised if older blackberries had PMOS support. The OS they chipped ~with was based on QNX~, most of which isn’t open source.
Edit: TIL the original blackberry OS was a strange embedded java VM. (I’ve never owned a blackberry)
- malexw 6y agoThe QNX-based OS started with BlackBerry 10 around 2013. Everything before that was a Java VM on top of a relatively small OS written by the company.
- jeffbee 6y agoNot everything before that. Before that Java stuff RIM was shipping a bespoke platform with a C API, from 1996 to 2002. The devices had Intel 386 CPUs which sounds weird but the battery life was incredible. The model 850 ran on 1 AA battery. The model 957 was rechargeable but it ran so long you didn't need to take the charger on trips.
- stragies 6y agoYeah, devices that old should be dismantled & scrapped for parts. The screens sometimes are useful. Then you smash the flash chips, and anything else that could have cached/held any credentials/IDs. Some IOT devices cache/store previous WIFI credentials.
