For anyone clinging to their BlackBerry mobile phones, there's some good news! BlackBerry announced that they are still supporting their devices with BlackBerry OS until the end of 2020. Coherent to their statements, the BlackBerry's World App store will eventually be closed at the end of 2019.
Blackberry Limited still owns the brand, but it no longer builds hardware, licensing out its name to partners TCL and India-based Optiemus Infracom. Today's Blackberry phones are designed, manufactured, and marketed by those partners. However, despite its smaller role in the mobile world, 2018 was still a great year.
Originally scheduled to reach End of Life status in December 2019 after receiving two years of additional support back in December 2017, BlackBerry has now announced they will continue to support the critical infrastructure and services for BlackBerry 10 as well as network access for BBOS devices beyond 2019.
