    We keep reading about all these new patches and features, innovations partnerships between blackberry, and almost all other tech firms except the most important - When are you guys going to let us KNOW what the future holds for us in relation to NEW HANDSETS and what support will be in place after the TCL deal finally expires or whatever

    I could live on my Key2 for the next coupla years as I can't fathom any other innovation that will make me want to get a new handset - however , with no support from TCL come August , that's a bummer. Wondering what the BlackBerry Execs are really thinking and planning .. Would be cool to have some clarity and know

    I don't think it could be any clearer.

    BlackBerry got out of the handset business in 2016, and 3 subsequent licensing arrangements failed.

    No one else has expressed interest (and why would anyone be stupid enough to do so), so it's game over.

    Whatever they’re contemplating, it’s not mobile phones

    Well, it's later in the year, and we're still waiting on Android 9 you said was coming to the Key2.

    Anyone waiting for another announcement from BlackBerry on phones... is going to be waiting a long time.

    Analyst and market researcher don't even bother asking about something that isn't even part of their business line anymore. Granted this years shareholder meeting and the following quarterly report Q&A were rather limited.... but BlackBerry didn't say anything about the smartphone business or smartphone software or smartphone IP.

    I'm sure many of us. I'd also like a stack of unmarked $100 bills.

    You’ve got a better chance for a stack of unmarked $1 bills than a Key3 but $1 bills are fun to use too at least

    It's been the "dream" for years now....

    Some now blame BlackBerry for ruining the PKB form factor.... with their costly Operating Systems and their cutting of corners on specifications that result in overpriced devices that require the user to accept a number of sacrifices. The dream of a Galaxy flagship phones with great cameras and PKB that cost nothing extra....

    But in the end that too is only a dream...

    Would it include a free hardware backdoor? Seems they know how to do that.

    Dual SIM. Good. BB should have done it years and years ago, like so many other things.

    Security? I guess it depends who you want security from.
