except that's not going to happen now, is it. Read yesterday's press release: Blackberry is outsourcing its phone production business to Foxconn in Indonesia and Mexico, effectively ending the development of high-end phones. They're now aiming at emerging markets in Asia and the only phone planned at the moment is a cheap entry-level device for that geographical area. The Z30 is likely the last full-fledged Blackberry intended for the US and Europe.
This all makes sense from a business point of view and I wish Blackberry all the best for their endeavours, but at the same time, it's time to say good bye for the time being. Perhaps if they manage to make their Asia plans work and they get their finances straight, they might make a comeback in a few years.
