What is happening regarding BlackBerry Mobile phones?
- Using daily a KEY2 and my accuracy on PKB way higher than VKB. Also the fact of PKB shortcuts, tactile to erase a plus more it's just so productive convenient. I would dread going VKB.01-17-20 12:27 PMLike 3
- LOL. Almost every email I write to clients is covered by a mutual NDA, and I am often in an open office, coffee shop, client location or public transportation, or home with my family. I can count on one hand the number of emails I could dictate each day. Everyone would wonder why I kept running to the john!
Z10 = BB10 + VKB > iOS + Android
True story.
And she seemed oblivious to the fact that everyone there knew what she was writing, which included the punctuation. Made me so glad I have a pkb BlackBerry: accurate and private texting. Oh, yes, then there are the peculiar text messages full of typos (or is that voiceos) I get from people using the voice to text.phuoc likes this.01-17-20 12:28 PMLike 1 -

As a matter of fact, I have used slabs for many years, starting form 2007. Also, I do see how my daughter types on her iPhone 11, or in any case, whatever that latest device is, and she is lightning fast!
Typing fast and accurately though, is one thing; the feeling of typing fast and accurately on a PKB is quite another!! The satisfaction you get is probably not easy to convey with words, but it is there!01-17-20 12:50 PMLike 3 -
Read back. I was answering the post that said:
"...BlackBerry Limited has made many statements and press work since 2016 all relating to their Enterprise software. BlackBerry Limited has not been in the mobile handset business for over 3 years."
This quote sounds as though they left the phone business (true) and that they made no announcements about the licensed phones (Not true). Whether or not the poster meant that is besides the point. You and I both know that is not correct. Therefore I was clarifying this. If you didn't hear the interviews where these things were mentioned that doesn't mean they didn't happen.01-17-20 12:53 PMLike 0 - I'm going slab right now for a week or two just for fun and by curiosity on an S10e and the comfortable compact size, paired with Gboard and haptic feedback and it's not the worst thing in the world (tiny iPhone SE VKB was a nightmare I wonder how they sold so well)

The S10e is really the only slab I had any interest in, because it's not a gigantic unergonomic mess of a device.
Once the experiment is over, my SIM card will go back in the KEY2 and the S10e will remain as a media/gaming device.01-17-20 01:13 PMLike 0 -
In the meantime, we can just keep our eyes peeled on whatever PKB device comes on the scene01-17-20 01:46 PMLike 0 - Any good videos anyone has scene with a BlackBerry user typing versus iPhone/Samsung? I can't find any comparisons that are fair because most are the same person doing side-by-side. I'm AWFUL on a vkb as I've been using BlackBerry since 2005. Can't imagine picking it up but maybe I'm wrong...01-17-20 11:08 PMLike 0

Every day that they fail to respect their customers with an answer, they hurt their company's reputation. From a "pure business perspective," this is much worse than a failed attempt at partnering with BlackBerry.01-19-20 08:11 AMLike 0
- Crackberry community. Want to ask a question and express my concern. Does anyone know why BB Mobile, or anyone associated with making new phones if they will be releasing a new phone anytime soon? If they are not why don’t they just say so ? I have been a BB user for 12 years and I feel they don’t respect users enough to even respond to the question
You're long-standing association with BlackBerry Limited doesn't really have anything to do with TCL (BlackBerry Mobile).01-19-20 08:27 AMLike 0 - Crackberry community.

So any information at the moment is simply "opinion based" that you can interpret.

There will never be an official statement by the company until all devices are sold, and even then it would be unlikely.Last edited by conite; 01-19-20 at 09:46 AM.

If BBMo/TCL had any intention of another device, silence is only neutral for the brand and product for so long. How many Key2 buyers will buy a Key3 when no PIE was ever delivered to Key2 buyers originally?
We see TCL actively promoting their own line of new devices and with the media developing their “phone” brand while explaining their other lines of business.
Having BlackBerry Mobile hardware in the display is satisfying legal and inventory needs to sell what’s leftover now. If their was a brand image to protect, their behavior would be destroying that image right now.01-19-20 09:41 AMLike 3 - I doubt there will ever be anything but opinions since common sense would prevail. Silence early on could be interpreted either way. But TIME is the enemy. So as time marches on, silence becomes the quiet confirmation.

I respect all opinions nonetheless and make my own personal conclusions.Gene Fells and Sigewif like this.01-19-20 09:50 AMLike 2 -
If BBMo were to demand that PIE be provided now, and then Android 10 next on a Key3, BlackBerry would be obligated to spends it’s resources now to have ready. I’d expect PIE is already ready waiting for payment.
Do you think BlackBerry would have committed to 5 years without performance guarantees in place? Do you think BBMo would be going through motions if simple answer would be to slash price and dump inventory?eshropshire and Laura Knotek like this.01-19-20 10:07 AMLike 2 - Legal performance requirements exist in every licensing agreement. Duration and minimum requirements to satisfy are present to protect the services that BlackBerry is bound to provide.

Another hypothesis.
