    BB have figured out that if you want to make money.

    Make a phone with mid range specs and price it very cheap

    now. Some company must create a smartphone with beast specs under 300 and they will be rich

      Hmmm, good luck with that. BB in Indonesia is dying quickly. With BB messenger on Android, nobody needs a BB device any longer. The new BB's are too expensive and Samsung and OPPO are super aggressive over there. No chance for BB I'm afraid, unless the price will be half with the same specs.

            It says code name.. It's not the actual commercial name.. It's a name used inside the company.

                  If the price is true and if it does support Android apps by side loading then I won't mind to have BlackBerry again!

                            Love the look but what type of screen and size? They will have to figure a way to link up with Google play store for more apps.
