Others may recall BlackBerry phones having a solid presence in the early seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Much like iPhones being everywhere in today's media, BlackBerry devices can be spotted in an array of earlier scenes from the hit series.

Emily Fall—an 18-year-old college student—expressed similarly fond sentiments, saying she "loved [her BlackBerry] so much."

However, Fall also noted that the devices wouldn't be ideal in the current age.

"If I had that phone [today], it'd be a lot harder to stay in touch with people," she added.

Despite this concern, others acknowledged and recognized the device's messaging app—BlackBerry Messenger (BBM)—as a handy communication resource. One 24-year-old production assistant named Lili Shi noted that BBM, a free service, "was everything."

Arjun Sheregill, an 18-year-old college student, also fawned over BlackBerry's iconic Brick Breaker game, saying it's "goated." Others like Rudy M, a 19-year-old student, humorously joked that BlackBerry devices had great secondary uses, such as being "good to use as a weapon."

In the face of these nostalgic memories and reflections, one student named Johnathon Joyner arguably summed it up best by referring to the BlackBerry as a "relic of time and space."
