BlackBerry smartphones could be making a new comeback thanks to Onward Mobility
The BlackBerry brand has been part of Onward Mobilityâs portfolio since August 2020 and weâve heard nothing but promises for new BB smartphones since. Today the company launch a pre-commitment program, suggesting a new handset might finally be on the way.
The program is actually a subscription list for partners and fans, who will be able to receive âproduct, feature, and availability updatesâ before the general public. The landing page on Onward Mobilityâs website also said these people and organizations can provide direct input and influence features and functionality.

The biggest takeaway from the page is that a handset is likely being developed.
Onward Mobility has experience in security software, but in the field of mobile hardware it has no expertise, and probably thatâs why it is turning to partners like telecoms and influencers who know the audience better.
