Cool form factor, if it can run Linux.
Yeah. No interest in an Android.
there is no way this is legit, guys.
if you’re jonsing for the physical keyboard, I don’t hate the titan slim. Its no key2, but it types. you can install blackberry keyboard on it, also.
if you want a better, more private OS, I hear GraphineOS is quite good, and you can install it on a Pixel, then use the Clicks Keyboard case with it. https://www.clicks.tech/en/products/clicks-for-google-pixel
This post is silly.
Clicks keyboard is looking pretty awesome. I don’t have a device to buy one or use.
yeah, me neither…
Ikr? Ppl are hyped about something the equivalent of a Walkman.
No don’t misunderstand, if BB made a new phone I’d preorder. I just think this post couldn’t be more full of shit
I know we hate Reddit here but this site is just taken from and rephrasing this post, which is more informative (which at least they were nice enough to link to): https://www.reddit.com/r/blackberry/comments/1jmalqp/a_startup_is_bringing_back_an_updated_blackberry/
(There’s also a pretty damn good chance this is total BS - the poster says he “used AI to cover up their actual design”).
This is very interesting to say the least
Nope.
The qnx os was the modern blackberry phone. They lost the plot moving to android.
I sure do miss BlackBerry 10
QNX was the real-time OS they sold for embedded devices. Modern BB phones used BB11 OS. It had Android emulation but obviously no play store or google services so they had to abandon it. Android BB phones were still great but obviously not enough people cared.
The Android phones were rubbish.
There was no os11. There was bbx/bb10
You’re right, they finished at 10.
I liked the Android phones. The hub was still nicely integrated, the hardware keyboard had good features. The main problem was that they were expensive and hard to get.
I had a few, not hard to get.
Hub was a good idea but they didn’t keep up with modern enterprise security features.
The hardware was below BlackBerry’s average, especially coming from a bb10 device like the passport.
I also had them. The last one I bought turned out to be made for Indian market and had a firmware that was calling 112 every time you looked a it the wrong way. So yeah, it wasn’t hard to find one on eBay but it was risky and there were no official distributors in my country any more.
The previous Android BB I had worked fine until the OS died of old age as Android used to do back then. I had no issues with the hardware or security.I understand you had different experience with them than I did. For me it was the best phone with hardware keyboard at the moment and it worked fine.
I wasn’t just a user, I was an admin of BES and UEM and all mobile devices. Nearly ever enterprise user had awful Android experience.
Touch screen keyboards are absolute rubbish. I sure hope this is true and the OS is BlackBerry as well.
BB would be a good alternative nowadays. No Android though.
No way they will bring BB 11 OS back. Android emulation is just not good enough and without it you would have 0 apps.
It would be android though because the last BlackBerry was the days of every phone having it’s own UI or OS is dead
It’s a shame. Tired of Android and iOS.
My daily driver is still Windows 10 Mobile.
If it runs on Android. Hell no.
