I am very excited with this news, I was desperately waiting for Blackberry new device. I am using BB classic since 2015 and have no issue while feels excellent towards productivity and also feels it's the easiest OS. I find BB10 is little shorter to android or iphone even though they have not released new OS since 2013. BB10 gives you everything whichever is necessary. Also it is a very solid device which doesn't break if falls. Only problem in this OS is apps limitation and small screen. I would like to buy BBOS device even today if they release BB11 or 12 OS.

Anonymous, 20 Aug 2020If they will neglect the regular updates for their Android phone, this will be dead on arrival... moreI don't think that was ever a problem on Blackberries, be it BBOS, QNX, OR Android.

Reports in the aftermath claimed they weren't able to because a 1:1 aspect ratio was not officially supported, at least at the time. Has there ever been a 1:1 Android device?

they should return to the BB10 OS as it was unique with awsome stability and safety, still can't believe they quit that.
it was miles ahead with their os and its swiping motions kinda similar to what android 10 is aiming for today, not even mentioning the digital keyboard experience which was unlike any other, i would deffinetly return if they breath it into life again and pay apple prices for it.
they don't seems to understand the value of their own product BB OS

Bbkeyone has served me well but now they dont have security and os version updates.
BlackBerry stopped new phones also 5g is coming fast.
I was planning foldable phones but this news is relaxing.
Now I have a reason to continue using keyone for one more year.
