The unique appearance, the classic QWERTY physical keyboard, and the ball-type control method make the BlackBerry phone a lingering memory for many people. At the same time, these are also important symbols for BlackBerry to stand in the mobile phone industry.
After ending its partnership with TCL, BlackBerry announced a partnership with OnwardMobility, which will license BlackBerry to manufacture BlackBerry phones.
Today, we learned from OnwardMobilit’s official website that OnwardMobilit officially announced that it will no longer continue to develop ultra-secure smartphones with physical keyboards. This news also announced that the project of BlackBerry’s new 5G mobile phone has officially stopped.
It is understood that OnwardMobility is a startup company located in Austin, USA. The company was established in 2018. The company said in 2021 that it will soon release a BlackBerry 5G mobile phone equipped with a complete QWERTY keyboard.
Beginning in 2006, the BlackBerry 7100 “Charm” series marked a new era for BlackBerry products. Ordinary consumers couldn’t stop looking at this product with camera, navigation and BBM chat functions. In 2009, BlackBerry captured 20% of the global smartphone market.
However, the brilliance of BlackBerry came to an abrupt end. In 2010, the world’s smart phones began to fully enter the smart era dominated by the iPhone, and BlackBerry began to decline. Since then, it has quietly exited after launching a few Android models, which has become a regret for many people.
