So there's hope! It takes an argument to build a function, and a function to build a program, and a program to build an OS, and an OS to build a smartphone.! BB11! Awesome.. or should I say Awesome(argument1,...,argument n);
(It also takes a keyboard (or some such signal processor)..to make an argument....)

No, it doesn't......

Still no one here has explained why BlackBerry posted to their Twitter account that people who have issues with their BBOS/BB10/Priv devices should contact them for help, when the last devices rolled off the line well over three years ago.

Why post that if BB Ltd really didn't have anything at all to sell to those holdouts?

To reiterate that they have nothing to do with TCL and their devices. They want to preempt unnecessary calls.

MWC is so secret that it won't take place this year.

For the same reason as BBMe consumer edition

MWC...Wasn't it renamed...Mobile With Coronavirus?...and then promptly quarantined it (Cylance anyone?)?...I think they're looking at moving it offshore to one of those cruise ships with an already captive audience.

I am still waiting for the BB10 partner. Actual BlackBerry Limited verified employees said in 2016 they were looking too license BB10. I guess both new partners will be announced at the same time.

Problem is in 2016 there was an undefined market of BBOS and BB10 enterprise customers that relied on BlackBerry. TCL defined it.

Or they may need to show they are handling service requests to keep there jobs! I have never needed to contact BlackBerry support about anything in 17 years.

Z10 = BB10 + VKB > iOS + Android

I am still waiting for the BB10 partner. Actual BlackBerry Limited verified employees said in 2016 they were looking too license BB10. I guess both new partners will be announced at the same time.

There are quotes in the media from Mike Lazaridis and Thorsten Heins going back to at least 2011 that they were looking for licensing partners for BB10, and Heins and then Chen both reiterated in 2013 that they continued to look for licensing partners. They never found any - and that's why this statement that "BB will look for other partners" is a big nothing-burger. It's technically true, but it means absolutely nothing.

It reminds me of Erlich Bachman, T.J. Miller's character in the TV show Silicon Valley, who habitually grouped himself together with successful people and companies to make himself look better. "Between myself and Bill Gates, we control hundreds of billions of the world's most important technology." "Between myself and Elon Musk, we are expanding the possibilities of technology in amazing new ways." Most people know it's total crap, but a few people actually believed his BS, which was both hilarious and sad.

Now it says the tweet is unavailable?

Probably because people actually took it seriously when chances are they haven't even thought of devices or care to even think about devices. Licensed or not.

My guess is by the end of the year... there won't be much of anything left of the BlackBerry we knew.

They'll be a software company focused on Automotive and ESS.
