   It is interesting that the devices stop working when the support ends.   
   Other Android devices don't have that "feature".   
      
   (interim moderator's note: Blackberry phones receive some services from   
   Blackberry, and those were turned off. There has been some discussion on   
   crackberry.com about how to circumvent this, but it's not trivial.   
   Blackberry-branded Android phones still work. As of this morning my old   
   Blackberry Classic, with no SIM card, still works for Wi-Fi access.)
