Kim Kardashian loves her Blackberry like Kanye loves Kanye. So you can imagine her despair when her beloved Bold died.

The reality show star sent out a series of tweets on Wednesday informing the Twitterverse of her phone’s demise, and asking for advice on what she should do next. This was followed by a picture of a generic Blackberry Bold and an illustration of her crying, which is now also her Twitter profile picture.

Sooo my blackberry bold died. I can't find anymore on ebay. I knew this day would come & to be honest I'm prepared. But the question is….

— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 3, 2016

Do I try a different kind of blackberry? Or ditch it all together? Or a different phone like Samsung?

— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 3, 2016

I need 2 phones. Because I love having 2 different phone services so I always have a working phone.

— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 3, 2016

or another option is having 2 iPhones. I really want my blackberry bold though. Reality is starting to set in & I'm getting sad

— Kim Kardashian (@KimKardashian) August 3, 2016

The Blackberry (BBRY) phone is likely one that will soon go extinct. As Gizmodo notes, if you ever see a headline touting the name “Blackberry” the article is either about how the brand is dying … or about how much Kim Kardashian loves it. The Guardian for one has previously written that she keeps three in stock just in case one breaks. Unfortunately, it looks like she just went through the last one.


It’s not clear whether the Keeping Up With the Kardashians star will totally give up on Blackberry. But even Blackberry, it seems, has given up on Blackberry. The company announced at the beginning of this year that it would not be releasing its latest version, and would instead
focus on Android phones.
