- BlackBerry should not allow licensing to a company, like Optiemus Global, unless they provide timely updates. For the Key2 Indian variant to still have only a December 2018 security update is not up to standards they set. Also, anybody suggesting an Autoloader is missing the point. We shouldn’t have to rely on hacks to fix an issueJohn Albert likes this.05-23-19 12:44 PMLike 1

- All I'm saying is if Blackberry promises support for their devices for 2 to 3 years, than they should live up to their word. No security updates for a phone less that a year old is not living up to that promise. When I bought a phone from BestBuy, I thought I could at least get updates.NonMerci likes this.05-23-19 06:31 PMLike 1

- Bla1zeCB OGYeah, Amazon I understand. Best Buy seems a bit odd, but I suppose they're just like Amazon as well and open to third-party vendors. I get why people buy devices not from their region, generally cheaper, but man, it has time and time again proven to be not worth it. The warr. and possible service issues aren't worth the savings should you need to use it.anon(10387168) likes this.05-23-19 07:10 PMLike 1

- The guy has the full right to express his frustration.
Both Merah Putih and Optiemus should have their license revoked.
By allowing them to continue that business in this manner is blatant BlackBerry reputation destruction.
TCL should handle the business in these regions as well.anon(10387168) and docberry126 like this.05-23-19 07:21 PMLike 2 - The guy has the full right to express his frustration.

But keeping such a lame business design isn't good for BlackBerry Limited reputation at all.anon(10387168) likes this.05-23-19 07:27 PMLike 1 - BlackBerry Limited doesn’t care beyond cashing the licensing checks. Since BlackBerry Limited exited consumer hardware, there’s no consumer reputation to worry about. That’s a characteristic of brand value cycle. If a brand is so identified with outdated perception like our beloved PKB, then licensing is the phase that comes before phasing our completely.05-23-19 07:32 PMLike 0

- BBMP and BB Optiemus have achieved lesser results than BBMo as far as my instincts tell me. BB Limited seems to be doing great and not reliant on licensing revenue. It appears that QNX and Cylance are the main revenue drivers now.
BBM Emtek is being dropped yet will continue to pay licensing revenue. Again, doesn’t seem to be of any concern to BB Limited now. BBMe doesn’t appear to be achieving commercial success by the lack of chatter here on CB for instance. Not sure where anything is at regarding the future.
I’m happy everyday that BBMo is licensing BB and making devices. I have no illusions that anyone besides us BB fans care.. the glass half full is what I prefer as glass half empty sounds negative..05-23-19 07:51 PMLike 0 - Well, the reality is, what little revenue BlackBerry gleans from licensees that tarnish the reputation will have a full impact on any business bearing the BlackBerry name. It's only a matter of time. I certainly hope we have not become devoid of common sense.05-23-19 07:58 PMLike 0

Seriously, brand perception of BB is such that I expect a return to RIM or rebrand to BB Cylance or just Cylance at some point.05-23-19 08:05 PMLike 0 - I seriously doubt anyone doing business with QNX and/or Cylance at the high level of Enterprise interface has any dealings with BBMo and other BB licensed products. If those persons have any dealings, they know and understand the differences.

My k2 was a 100-6 but came in a sealed original box with no Optiemus labeling. No trace of Optiemus inside the phone, too. Didn’t register on their servers at first boot-up either, unlike the other Optiemus phones. Still on Dec 2018 security patch. The phone has BlackBerry logo and BBMo written all over the box. It’s perfectly fair for BBMo to get slapped for this. Tried to to order the red version, but first they were out of stock and then “the order wasn’t processed.” Long story short, I just walked in the nearest apple store and got myself a grown-up phone without hassle.anon(10387168) and docberry126 like this.05-24-19 01:08 AMLike 2
- Just 3 days ago there was a National news story on TV regarding BlackBerry and autonomous driving software, BlackBerry being mentioned by name. Pretty sure people still know the Iconic BlackBerry Brand. We would be foolish to think otherwise. And to imply that tarnishing the BlackBerry brand as inconsequential, would be detrimental. Just my old school opinion when we were captains of industry, of course times have changed, or have they. We shall see.05-24-19 07:06 AMLike 0
- Merah Putih is gone.... they don't exist anymore. But they had the first of the new BlackBerries and it was very clear from the beginning that updates were up to the licensee.
Optiemus has also not done a good job with their relicensed from BBMo products or their own. But it's been six months and no updates and a missing device... I expect they are following Merah Puthih.
I think the whole Android Secure and Brand licensing program has come up short and that BlackBerry is either shutting it down or restructuring it. Only one of the three software licensees has done anything and I doubt the Puknt has sold many units. Of the three full licensee, only BBMo has really reached any level of sales... but far fewer then what was planned. With them taking 2019 off... anyone really think they are going to keep sales consistent?
If BBMo moves forward, I think there will be changes.05-24-19 07:38 AMLike 0 - Merah Putih is gone.... they don't exist anymore. But they had the first of the new BlackBerries and it was very clear from the beginning that updates were up to the licensee.
