    It seems OnwardMobility was created just for this project. It'll be interesting to find out who is backing this.

    Very interesting news. Looks like this would be a very limited device from them but we will see.

    I really hope BlackBerry doesn't bugger this up by expecting too much/charging too much of the people developing this thing. Smaller profits over a longer period make more sense than demanding too much in the short term and driving this new company into the ground.

    I hope Onward Mobility have been reading these forums, too. If they haven't then they probably should.

    I was ready to buy a Surface Duo, but now think I will keep hold of my Key2 until this new one arrives. What great news!

    All I need is monthly updates, a commitment to software updates and decent specs (6 GB RAM, stereo speakers and a non trash camera)

    Daddy Chen, I need you

    Use it until we see actual product and then actually buy said product. In my case, it needs to be AT&T sold

    The math doesn’t change. It has to charge enough to cover fixed costs up front and charge for a minimum guarantee. If BBAndroid is changed for Android One, it could help some

    No, Foxconn is designing and building. OM is marketing.

    "This is an incredible opportunity for OnwardMobility to bring next-generation 5G devices to market with the backing of BlackBerry and FIH Mobile.""

    This is still an OnwardMobility product. The device would still have to meet its pricing structure / target market.

    Foxconn would then try to deliver something that meets the criteria.

    BlackBerry must be throwing some big money into this. Why now and not before with TCL?
