If it looks like a BlackBerry, types like a BlackBerry, then it must be a BlackBerry, right? WRONG. What you're seeing in the photo above is the next phone with a physical QWERTY keyboard to come from Unihertz. Unihertz has made some other PKB phones in recent years, including the beefy Titan and the smaller Titan Pocket. While those device models were BlackBerry-esque in nature, the...
Today is 2/22/22, which has put the number TWO in my head and made me realize it has been a minute or two since I've updated everyone on CrackBerry 2.0 relaunch progress.

Update: February 18th: OnwardMobility officially announces it's shutting down While no public acknowledgement has been made by BlackBerry or OnwardMobility yet (and it's hard to say if we'll ever see a formal announcement though I hope we do as they really owe the community one), word is now getting out that OnwardMobility's initiative to bring a 5G BlackBerry to market is no more....

And to misquote Mark...
Heyyyyyy Everybody! Remember me? I'm back! Again!! Today marks the end of an era as legacy BlackBerry OS and BlackBerry 10 phones officially go End of Life (EOL). I don't feel sad about this. We've known it was coming and longtime BlackBerry fans have already been put through the emotional wringer many times over the years. You might say we have thick skin… especially on our thumbs...

BlackBerry Mobile has now kicked off a new BlackBerry Mobile device owner survey for owners of BlackBerry KEYone, Motion, KEY2, and KEY2 LE. Here are all the details, if you have time to participate!
The BlackBerry KEY2 LE is here! Freshly announced at IFA 2018 in Berlin, the BlackBerry KEY2 LE is coming in three vibrant colors - Slate, Champagne, and Atomic - and you know I had to go hands-on with them.
The BlackBerry KEY2 is here and it improves upon the KEYone in loads of ways, but there's always room for even more improvement.
We did a quick drop test with a quite exaggerated fall (most times you're phone won't fall nearly this far) and we kept the camera rolling to give you an on-device view and we can safely say the BlackBerry KEY2 is one heck of a well-built device.
