The Best Blackberry Phones in 2024
Remember BlackBerry? The brand once ruled the US smartphone industry, and it wasn’t until the iPhone 4 came along that BlackBerry’s real demise began. Well, the brand had a really hard time around 2010 and nearly met its maker but the boxy, business phones were far from done.

Does blackberry still make phones?


In 2015, Research in Motion (RIM), the company behind the BlackBerry brand, made a significant change by releasing the BlackBerry Priv, which was the first BlackBerry phone to run on the Android operating system rather than an in-house system. Despite this shift, RIM's mobile business continued to struggle and the company had to find other ways to stay afloat and keep the BlackBerry brand alive.

Will there be a new blackberry phone in 2024

Things took a turn for the worst, OnwardMobility, the company currently responsible for the BlackBerry brand, announced that it will not be reviving BlackBerry phones in any form. Here's part of the official statement:

To all of our valued followers, supporters and partners:

We want to thank you all for the tremendous amount of support that you have given us since we first launched OnwardMobility. However, it is with great sadness that we announce that OnwardMobility will be shutting down, and we will no longer be proceeding with the development of an ultra-secure smartphone with a physical keyboard.

Sadly, the only new BlackBerry release is actually a movie about the rise and fall of the popular brand. The movie is based on the book "Losing the signal" and premiered in the US on May 11th. Bye bye, BlackBerry...
