Never had a Blackberry (although their keyboard was clearly the best), but I desperately miss my old Treos (and to a lesser extent, the Qualcomm Palm phone that preceded them.) Other than the lack of a modern browser and physical thickness, they were better in every way than today's touchscreen "smart" phones - better at finding contacts, making calls, texting, taking notes, etc. Battery life was sometimes better than current smartphones - I once left my Treo charger at home on a trip, but decided it wasn't a problem that needed to be addressed since it was only a 3-day trip and I could minimize phone time. I'd argue their app ecosystems weren't inferior, either, even though they were much smaller. (Let's face it, 99+% of the AppStores are "Apps of Crap"...)
