“Here’s my PIN” is now the new way to signal to all dry and sundry that you’re part of the “IN” crowd. Jamaica as you know is, dear reader, is Blackberry country, despite the fact that the Americans are ditching Blackberrys and even Google Android smartphones in droves for the Apple iPhone as per my analysis in Nielsen declares Apple iPhone 4S cut into Android Sales. After all, all your friends already have one and now that you do, you’re in the “IN” Crowd.
Still, with the BlackBerry movie having premiered in May 2023, you might just want a trip down memory lane again, to remember the good times provided by the once-dominant smartphone manufacturer.A friend just gave you a Blackberry and yes, you’re excited. Sadly, OnwardMobility shut down, taking with it any plans to launch said phones and join the ranks of the best Android phones on the market. In 2021, OnwardMobility teamed up with the manufacturer, FIH Mobile, and announced plans to release a 5G BlackBerry. In 2020, TCL's license ended only to be picked up immediately after by unknown entity, OnwardMobility. In 2016, BlackBerry announced that it would no longer be making devices of its own, with TCL picking up the license. Sadly, those days are gone, and while BlackBerry may still have handful of dedicated users, it's now effectively dead as a smartphone maker.
It was yet another unique reason to buy a BlackBerry, appealing to a range of people, not just those in suits. It might be all about WhatsApp now, but BBM had read receipts down donkeys years ago.
