   We used Blackberries for serveral years.  Sometime before 2015, they   
   switched over to a choice between Apple and Android and phased out the last   
   Blackberries in 2015.   
      
   Last phone I got sometime before COVID was an Apple, so I am not sure if they   
   had phased all the Androids out, too, or if I got that just because my   
   previous work phone was also an Apple.   
      
   Based on what I was told in 2015 when they forced me off of Blackberry, it   
   sounded like they "got a great deal" had a lot more weight than whatever   
   security risks they were introducing.
