I never had a Blackberry, but I utterly despise touch screen phones. I like physical buttons, preferably with shape and color to allow operating using peripheral vision. I used to use flip phones to actually talk to people. I use my Android phone for two factor authentication and not much else.
A rotary shoe phone would be better than today's "smart" phones.
Now you've got me wanting to watch that movie. I don't know why BlackBerry ultimately disappeared. I held onto mine as long as I could and absolutely detest the onscreen virtual keyboards of Android/Apple. I just chalked it up to the whole pattern of, whatever is good gets made obsolete by some godawful new tech while whatever is most annoying becomes ubiquitous.
I haven't bought a movie ticket in years.
Now I am tempted.

I would have read the article, but I stopped after the second typo "it's" instead of "its"
Don't bother with the movie. They would have been better off leaving off the names and turn it into a generic tech corporate movie.
The deviations from what actually happen is way too distracting.
I wanted the Tuesday matinee movie ticket back.
This review inspired me to see blackberry! It finally opened last night in Australia, was not disappointed. My review - https://ghiculescu.substack.com/p/blackberry-review-and-analysis
