- This is about as new as I've seen https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Ele...return-to-Asia
Nothing new on what they are doing.
Did mention hopes to eventually bring their product to Asia.
Also said their "long term goal" was assemble of their handsets in US.... so sounding like initially that might now be off the table. But it should help keep cost more reasonable.
Not a quote, but the article says that they plan to release their device in North America nd Europe within the year... May be nothing, or may be the time line is already slipping.
Franklin did say more details will be announced within the next "few" months...02-11-21 07:37 AMLike 0 - This is about as new as I've seen https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Ele...return-to-Asia

Not to mention the additional capital Blackberry may have picked up as a result of the WallStreetBets uprising.02-11-21 09:41 AMLike 0 - That would be exciting. I actually trust the Blackberry branded handsets for their security. Given the fact that the US military and other government agencies still rely on Blackberry and its security, its about damn time we got a phone for us.

- As everyone else has said, hurry up and wait. I would have thought they wouldn’t have at least posted something as far as the product design status? But I guess it’s back to the old BB new product slogan “coming soon”.02-11-21 05:01 PMLike 0
- Not just their logo, their software as well, android gives it away for free, Blackberry has a rep to maintain, although if I was the CEO of Blackberry the first thing I would do before starting to make Blackberry phones again is FIRE the WHOLE ADVERTISING TEAM. Useless, when Apple lost the deal with the military 70,000 play books, Blackberry Sales/advertising dropped the ball, when Blackberry did a stupid move lets get a hockey team in Hamilton and lost Apple and Facebook were all over it.. BIG MEDIA BS!!!02-11-21 05:10 PMLike 0

All BB is doing here is licensing their name. There is no mention of any BB software, and BB's software ceased development 2 years ago, and is just in maintenance mode now.
As conite said, any faith you have in this project is entirely on OM, because BB is merely loaning them the name and cashing a check. Whether the project lives or dies is 100% on OM.02-11-21 08:52 PMLike 4 - You're talking about ancient history. You can't go back and replay the 2006 Superbowl, and BB can't go back and fix decisions they made the same year either.

I am sure they will be reflecting on itto boldly go likes this.02-17-21 11:43 AMLike 1

Software development for a BLEND solution wasn't feasible with PRIV projected sales.... If OM is planning more than 100K units I'll be surprised - wouldn't be shocked if it's fewer than 25K. I think what can be found today in Google Play is what you'll need to plan on using. As I do expect full Android - as that's the only way you could use only one phone (as Peter stated).
Form factor.... to start they have to go after the biggest market, I don't think that's going to be "small".02-17-21 11:59 AMLike 0 -
Image quality - yes.
But it was considered quite inferior when it came to recording time. One hour was dreadfully inconvenient. VHS was double. Both came out with lower quality low speed modes, but it was still relative.
BetaMax was also 2 years behind in hardware features that people wanted - like remote pause and a timer.pdr733 and Laura Knotek like this.02-17-21 12:00 PMLike 2 -
Anyway, marketing had little to do with that outcome - it was that design decision that doomed Beta in the home.02-17-21 10:34 PMLike 3 - So very true and I had a Sony BetaMax HiFi unit back in the day and the picture and sound quality where superior. But as with everyone else, I quickly switched to VHS format because of the lack of available movies. It’s all about marketing.02-19-21 05:13 AMLike 0
