This reminds me of the blackberry ping days, everyone and their mom acting like a diva for having a sidekick blackberry just to use ping.
Those were better days financially.
BBM was the jam back in the days before iPhone. If you wanted to be in on the group chats you needed a blackberry. In the last little bit they opened it up to more devices but the gig was up.
I still miss their icons.
They were never popular over here outside of business users, I always liked the tiny red LED. Sure, I can make the flag on my iPhone blink on new messages, but it’s not the same
Yes the light was the best. Some of the early android devices tried to carry on with this practice but screen time attention I suspect won the day
But Android phones still have multicolor notification led. In fact it blows my mind that iPhones don't, I wouldn't even consider a phone without it anymore.
