Onward Mobility, which BlackBerry has joined as of August 2020, will enter the smartphone market with the new 5G BlackBerry model. The company has already launched a pre-commitment program for the device.
BlackBerry, which had a very serious share in the phone market before smartphones came out, is returning to the market with a new smart model. The Canadian manufacturer, which joined Onward Mobility in August 2020, demonstrated the certainty of the project with the company’s announcement of a preliminary commitment program.
Partners and BlackBerry fans participating in this program will receive ongoing information about the product in terms of “product, feature, and availability” before making public statements about the product. According to information on the Onward Mobility website, people and organizations participating in the program will be able to have a say in the features and functions of the device by making recommendations directly to the company.
Smart Blackberrys likely to be made in China
Because Onward Mobility, which has certain security expertise, is not familiar with mobile hardware, it has turned to telecom companies and influencers who know the market better. The company will probably work with a China-based manufacturer to manufacture its Blackberrys.
As it is known, before BlackBerry smartphones came out, their phones included both a touch screen and a keyboard. Although there were fanatics of this design at the time, the fact that smartphone users currently use touch screens without keyboards may make this design unnecessary.
