Don't throw out your BlackBerry: Kim Kardashian will buy it

It seems like fewer and fewer people are Team Blackberry these days. But the mobile device still has at least one celebrity endorsement: Kim Kardashian West.

In an interview at the Code Mobile Conference Monday, the reality star and wife of Kanye West revealed she's a full-on BlackBerry addict, despite the attached stigma.

"I love my BlackBerry. I don't understand the reaction I get when I say that," she said. "It's my heart and soul, I love it and I'll never get rid of it."

It's more than just a preference; the "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star loves her phone so much that she said keeps three of them in her room at all times and buys backups off eBay.

"I do have an iPhone, and I use it for photos. But if you write an email and you need to type fast -- I like having the [key]board," she said. "They don't even have them in stores anymore. I buy them on eBay. It's a BlackBerry Bold. And I like to have three in my room that I line up in case they break."

Her favorite app? Instagram. She currently has more than 20 million followers.

"I'm loving Instagram. I think you can be really creative, and a little more intimate. It has more texture than just words, obviously," Kardashian said. She also volunteered that she has "a three-image rule. In the same setting, I try not to do more than three. It over-saturates my feed."

Also, the rumor that the star is paid $10,000 per tweet is false, she says. She told the conference audience: "I would have been tweeting every two seconds if it was true."

The star even joked before the interview that she would like to buy the BlackBerry company.

"Have you gone to Waterloo to discuss it with them? Why don't you become a spokesmodel?" host Kara Swisher suggested.

"I feel like I should," Kardashian West replied. "I'm going to make a call after this."

Maybe with Kim on board, the BlackBerry will come back in style! Here's the full interview:
