BlackBerry treats die-hard fans to one last phone before officially closing its phone manufacturing stores. Fans are anticipating the release of BlackBerry's last mobile piece, a phone which features BlackBerry's iconic QWERTY physical keyboard.
BlackBerry officially announces that it will stop designing and manufacturing its own phones says Telegraph. Made famous by its iconic QWERTY keypad phones, BlackBerry was once the choice handset of professionals and business people. Before the rise of Apple and Samsung, BlackBerry was the proud owner of the biggest market share in the mobile phone arena.
Unfortunately, BlackBerry was caught unprepared when the world decided to switch to touchscreen phones. With a keypad based technology, BlackBerry struggled to keep up with the emerging companies. In the attempt to catch-up, BlackBerry launched their own touchscreen models.
But despite their efforts, BlackBerry was left behind. And now the announcement of officially closing the phone manufacturing line was released.
Since the decline of its phone manufacturing business, BlackBerry rerouted its efforts on the internal components of the gadget. BlackBerry now focuses on the development of mobile phone software for various models. The software are outsourced to other phone manufacturers for use in different mobile phones.
Before closing its phone manufacturing stores, Chief Executive John Chen made one last promise to die-hard fans. BlackBerry is set to release one last treat for their keypad loyalists says Stuff. Chief Chen who is leading BlackBerry to its new software building path announced that they will make good of their promise to release one last BlackBerry keypad phone.
The news garnered positive feedback from many BlackBerry users. Fans who are still exasperated by the typo-prone touch screen phones are anticipating the release of the last BlackBerry phone. Collectors are also developing interest in securing one unit of BlackBerry's last mobile piece as an addition to their valuable collection.
