Remember those Blackberry smartphones? Recently, the company appointed John Giamatte as the new CEO. Starting today, John will replace John Chen, who resigned last month.

Yup, you read that right. There's going to be a movie about BlackBerry. The plot narrative would be the rise and fall of the once popular smartphone brand back in the 2000s. The news report has also announced that there is a director attached to the project, as well as two main casts for the lead role.

What is OnwardMobilty and what do they have to do with the smartphone industry? Well, you see this company used to be in charge of developing and providing smartphones with physical keyboards. But since nobody really used that feature anymore, this means OnwardMobility is pretty much doomed.

The BlackBerry used to be one of the best phones back in the early 2000s but unfortunately, the brand has fallen too far from the tree. On its website, it has officially updated that all BlackBerry OS support will end on 4 January 2022.

It seems like BlackBerry is gearing up for its comeback pretty soon. The company hinted at this last year when it became part of Onward Mobility, which is a mobile security company from the US. Now, the company starting to reach out again to build public interest.

Today, BlackBerry CFO Steve Rai has officially confirmed to the Canadian media that the company has indeed sold many of their smartphone IP to Huawei. In fact, Huawei has gotten their hands on 90 pieces of intellectual properties and it happened on 12 January 2021.

There are a lot of smartphone brands nowadays and we won't even blame you if you've forgotten some of the old ones. With that said, a prominent smartphone brand from the past is going to make a comeback in 2021. In the olden days, BlackBerry has stood strong in the communication industry with its iconic keyboard. Now, will it continue to make some breakouts with the keyboard or cave in for the touch screens?

Back in the day, BlackBerry smartphones were a symbol of status for many businessmen. Today, you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone still using one in Malaysia. But the people at BlackBerry Limited have continued to work on other things that many of us don't expect, such as the electric superbike.

BlackBerry Messenger Service or better known as BBM, will be shutting down its service on the 31st of May. Users will have a week to download all of their data off the app before it is gone forever.

 Based on a small teaser video, the Blackberry Evolve and BlackBerry Evolve X will be unveiled on 2 August 2018. Unlike the previous Blackberry KEY2 smartphones, the Evolve models will not feature a physical QWERTY keyboard and instead have a near bezel-less 18:9 fully touch screen display. The Blackberry Evolve mentioned will target the indian and Asian Market while in other markets it will be called the Blackberry Ghost and Ghost X.
