Motion OS??

I've been scrolling through the threads and was wondering if the Blackberry "Motion" will debut with Android 8.0 or 7. Whatever

7.1.1 considering they don't even have a timeline for KEYone Oreo other than to say it will.

Almost guaranteed to launch with 7.1.1. 😃 The Blackberry "Juno" (next device possibly launching) has a chance to launch with Android Oreo though.

If the Juno is actually available this year... I doubt it would have Oreo yet. If BlackBerry Mobile does an announcement this year ( to meet what they said they would do) with viewings at CES, and a MWC launch.. they should be able to get Oreo out by then.

TCL has been very conservative so far.... just don't see two devices coming that closely together. And they need something to talk about next year.

I wouldn't buy a Motion now until until BlackBerry / TCL guarantees an upgrade to Oreo.

If the KEYᵒⁿᵉ is guaranteed...why not the Motion?!

Yes they guaranteed the KEYone, the Motion will get Oreo.... question is will it get "P" a year later.

Agreed. The DTEK50 & DTEK60 owners are feeling a little left out by not even getting a single OS upgrade. So if OS upgrades are important to you, always best to wait a couple days or weeks to see what Blackberry has planned for it.

I would however be pretty optimistic about a Oreo upgrade since its coming later than the KEYᵒⁿᵉ and it has very similar specs with possibly the same processor. 😃

Dead as in, no third new phone? Or just dead as in they are changing direction on what was the Juno?

Direction would be fair to say. Still more devices coming. :)

Which can ONLY mean that instead of Android, Juno will be BB10 Passport 2!

Kidding of course. I don't want to speculate since I have absolutely no info....but...

I wonder if the change in direction has anything to do with the how the KeyOne has sold (or didn't sell). Fascinating ;)

We kind of have a timeline for Oreo now,

Will the BlackBerry Motion be upgraded to Android Oreo?

Yes, it will come in the New Year. It is launching on very similar software to what the KEYone has, but just like the KEYone, it will have an upgrade path to Oreo.

Good interview overall,
