Yesterday was a day of big news and confusion. BlackBerry revealed that would abandon the business of production of phones smart, to devote is better to its division of software; While that confirmed that the manufacture of any model future would have that fall in any of their partners. Today will see that apparently there is a single condition: keep alive the keyboard physical.
The peculiar revelation came by voice of the own John Chen, CEO (so far) of BlackBerry, who revealed in an exclusive interview with BNN people, that there are indeed plans to manufacture a new terminal for this platform in the future, within a couple of years, and that this will necessarily have a physical keyboard:

The development and design of any BlackBerry smartphone will be paid by external now, but Chen statements make clear that there are some attachments that do not seek to RID. As that physical keyboard that has been a hallmark of this brand, and also one of the causes that impeded the jump to the current trend.
Apparently BlackBerry repeat the history that lived with his last model, where subcontracted to the company TCL, subsidiary of Alcatel, so developed its new model, which curiously is identical to the Alcatel IDOL 4S.
Chen statements must be taken with prudence, after all, anything can happen with BlackBerry within a couple of years.
