Here, what's your BBM?
It is truly the end of an era as BlackBerry devices will no longer be a thing.
The company are phasing out the software on their phones from this week which means they won't be useable.
BlackBerry stopped making mobile devices back in 2016 after posting huge losses.
From today the phones will 'no longer reliably function' - meaning calls and texts may go by the wayside.

BlackBerry was one of the more dominant phone brands back in the late 1990s and 2000s.
Unfortunately, their popularity diminished due to the emergence of iPhones and Android devices.
The phones became iconic for their computer like keyboards over the years.
But in recent years, they posted losses of over a billion dollars and couldn't keep up with the market.
BlackBerry kept the phones in use for the last five years despite not producing any new devices.
Now they are going to mobile phone heaven with all the good memories.
