The survey link is closed - so I'm not actually sure what all was offered - but the comments below indicate: Screen protector, case, holster - at least were options.

Wth? A case?

This thing weighs 303 freakin grams and is armored to the teeth.

A case is the LAST thing it needs.

How about a diet?

still I wonder...will they replace the hardware or just disable it via software?
This can be a very interesting point...

software is my guess. No reason to change hardware unless BB buys one tears it down and finds hardware infringement

Amazing news!! appeared 5 hours ago in the Titan fb group the following post from unihertz:
instead of the capacitive keyboard, the display size increased and the fingerprint reader will turn into trackpad (guess capacitive) while keeping fingerprint reading function.

Am I the only one around here who thinks this is amazing?

Therefore, I guess the keyboard hardware will be switched to non capacitive...or whatever adds the touch function will be removed

Return of the trackpad! To me the Titan just is getting better and better.

I find it curious that they changed the screen size. Is it really possible that Blackberry has a patent on the screen shape? The Keyboard I understand, but I can't believe the screen size is specific enough to be patented.

No, you canot patent that, but maybe they were more concerned about the whole apparence of the thing, too much looking as a Passport...

So it turns from a Passport knockoff into a Classic knockoff?

Very good observation. In my opinion it turns to be a hybrid almost-passport-looking device with some feature from the classic.

I'm assuming it'll still need the on-screen punctuation if they keep the same keyboard hardware minus capacitive touch. But otherwise, square screen and a trackpad is closer to Classic.

Ok.......that's the last straw........I'm out!

[RK_BB]

I pulled out my pledge yesterday. Let that thing bake-in....

[howarmat]

wonder how this will work with the fingerprint reader. They better have some great coders that can make this all work without hitches that make it unusuable

This got me wondering... does BB have a patent on the 3-row keyboard + onscreen punctuation pop up UI? If so, I might be getting another Project Update email from Unihertz!!!

What's next? BB ltd also has patents for black keys? Keys with any type of sculpting whatsoever? For any type of frets? Any curved or V shaped keyboard?

Don't forget all the stuff you CAN'T see under the hood.

If square 4.5 screen is patented (otherwise I do not understand why they changed the screen size on the Titan) anything can be... even the black color itself

I hope the trackpad is not patented...

I'm pretty sure BlackBerry has a patent on the battery pull.

Don't forget the ScreenLift technology... Unihertz better stay away from that one!

Or they had problems implementing desired features with Android Q and have decided to go with Pie.

Or BlackBerry sent a squad of lawyers to scare the bejeezus out'a Unihertz who saw themselves buried in legal fees and relays... such is BlackBerry very much like a violent tipped domestic squabble turned deadly; "if not mine, then nobody's..."
