Blackberry presents a new collection of mobile phones in collaboration with Porsche. The new Blackberry P9982 Porsche Design smartphone is intended for those who really don't know where to spend their extra earnings, as the basic model costs around €2,000.
BlackBerry phones were synonymous with business use. The emphasis is on "were", because today many people would say that they no longer exist. But they are coming back. But tough times call for drastic measures, so it's no surprise that they're going all-or-nothing with their latest smartphone, the rectangular BlackBerry Passport with a square screen. We will either love him or hate him, there is no in-between.
BlackBerry put itself on the world map years ago (if you count in technology years) when it introduced a phone with a physical keyboard that allowed you to send and receive emails. It was a concept of the business world, but over the years it lost its status more and more, as plastic qwerty keyboards were replaced by touch screens. Now he wants to return to the path of old glory with the BlackBerry Classic smartphone, with which he is also returning to his roots.
Boeing, the manufacturer of passenger planes, is also entering the world of smartphones, revealing that it will work with BlackBerry on the development of its Black phone. They are said to use their BlackBerry Enterprise Service (BES) 12 platform, and the main feature of the phone will be high security standards. Namely, data and communication will be encrypted with Boeing's PureSecure technology, and physical intervention will trigger self-destruction.
With some of the busiest months in the smartphone / mobile world behind us and the new year just around the corner, it's only fitting that we take a look at the smartphone lineup and find out the best smartphones of 2015. Because even though phones, not every choice is smart. In our editorial office, we have therefore diligently followed the developments in the field of mobile telephony over the years, and here is a selection of the best, consisting of old acquaintances (read brands) and newcomers.
While the BlackBerry brand is slowly but steadily sinking like Venice, it is trying to save itself with the BlackBerry Venice smartphone, which is the first BlackBerry that does not have its own operating system but Google's Android OS, and the special feature is a sinking case that hides the physical keyboard. Is classic looks and Android the combination that will save this sinking Canadian company?
BlackBerry doesn't give up. Its latest effort is the 135-gram BlackBerry DTEK50 business smartphone (147 x 72.5 x 7.4 mm), which the Canadian company says is the world's most secure smartphone in terms of data protection. It was developed together with Siemens.
2016 was a fateful year for many technologies. Quite a few high-profile technologies that have marked our lives in one way or another have landed on the dustbin of history.
We've buried the BlackBerry as many times as there were before the actual death of Fidel Castro. But BlackBerry does not give up, it continues to look for its place under the sun (now the Chinese electronics manufacturer TCL is trying its luck with it). His latest attempt is the BlackBerry KeyOne smartphone, which stands out from the competition with a physical keyboard. The aluminum phone is designed to be operated with one hand, because BlackBerry's philosophy is that if you have to put down a cup of coffee to use your phone, there's something wrong with it.
After China's TCL bought the BlackBerry brand last year, the dust settled and we heard nothing more about this story. Well, now we have finally learned that the new BlackBerry is coming to the market next month, the first under the new umbrella and with quite a few innovations.
Remember the slightly larger phones with the computer keyboard on the bottom half, which used to cause a lot of headaches for the slightly larger fingers? Not so long ago, BlackBerry carried the flag among phones, but now that is no longer the case, but they are still looking for their place under the sun with innovative solutions. With the new BlackBerry Motion model, they will undoubtedly make sure that we will not forget them so quickly.
BlackBerry introduced the Key2, the successor to the KeyOne model. Despite the fact that the new phone is very similar to its predecessor, it also differs from the latter in some features.
