Earlier this month, the memorable BlackBerry cellphone brand essentially " died " after the company stopped supporting its devices, resulting in them  losing functionality . "As of January 4, 2022, devices running on these service offerings through either carrier or Wi-Fi connections will no longer reliably function, including for data, phone calls, SMS, and 9-1-1 functionality,"  reads  the company's announcement on the matter. With this news, many people began reminiscing about the once-popular  cellphone , and  Gen Zers  were particularly nostalgic over the now-defunct devices. "They're vintage," Cara Curtis, a 24-year-old copywriter,  said . She also shared that BlackBerry phones remind her of "the scene in  Gossip Girl  when Serena throws her phone in the bin 'cause she got a text that made her sad."
