BlackBerry licencing their keyboard to?

News flash, now BlackBerry is out of Handset Business, Chen is licencing the keyboard to which smartphone? And how will they execute it??

I bet on samsung.

What's your view ?

As a software guy this is much coming. As a software wise BlackBerry might survive for few more years 2/3 may be, but he certainly don't know anything about surviving handset division. Even going GOOGLE aka Android couldn't saved the handset division. May be he would have stick to bb10 but maximum here in CB won't agree with me on this.

Anyways this is the end of BlackBerry as a handset. A sweet Innovative design phone making company is Past. Thanks for BB10 run and specially thanks to Chen for Passport. Won't take this credit from him. But he failed to survived BlackBerry.

Interesting. It's a possibility.

Wish she could clarify "BlackBerry Keyboard" .

It's either licensing/outsourcing the rumored Mercury PKB Android device, or licensing their skin on top of Swiftkey. Or making their own Typo, but I doubt it.

This would be my bet, Seacrest might want his money back

A Galaxy S8/S9 Edge Pro with a slide-out keyboard... Me be buying that. :D

But will they be able to get success as BlackBerry did in past or is it really a time where people are interested in just touch screen.

BlackBerry lost 352million loss on handset compared to last year 51million profit. How did BlackBerry didn't noticed it that there was still time if they had kept patience and faith in bb10 rather then going android which completely failed them.

Either Alcatel or the indonesian joint venture I guess...
