BlackBerry
may be tech's fallen titan but the struggling Canadian company is
planning a new flagship phone for one more roll of the dice. BlackBerry
has hinted that several new devices are under development and the
forthcoming handsets will be split between all-touch and QWERTY keyboard
inputs. Speaking about its plans for the rest of the year, BlackBerry
chief executive John Chen said one of the devices is of “flagship
material”.
Exciting
stuff. But the real question is has BlackBerry's ship sunk after sales
hammerings from the likes of the iPhone 5S, HTC One and Samsung Galaxy
S5? Commentators have suggested that the smartphone Chen is referring to
is the keyboard sporting BlackBerry Q30 Windemere or the Q20 BlackBerry
Classic. The latter was announced at Mobile World Congress earlier this
year. At the time, it was said to have a late 2014 launch date.
Another
interesting tidbit to come out of Chen’s comments is that BlackBerry
currently has no plans to launch a wearable gadget. Would it be the
quick fix turnaround that BlackBerry could do with? Let us know in the
comments below or on the T3 Facebook page.
