Dreams of a 5G BlackBerry have been torpedoed as BlackBerry has pulled its license from OutwardMobility.
The end of the line for BlackBerry started on that fateful January day in 2007 at Macworld when the late Steve Jobs held the touchscreen Apple iPhone aloft in front of a captivated audience. It is not a reach to say that the world changed on that very day. Since the iPhone was exclusive to AT&T at that time, Verizon was extremely open to an iPhone challenger from BlackBerry.
The BlackBerry Storm was the Canadian company's first touchscreen phone and offered a unique twist; tapping on the screen would allow the glass to depress slightly mimicking the feeling of tapping on a real keyboard. In late 2008, the device was launched and was quickly panned. BlackBerry had failed to place enough sensors to cover all of the QWERTY causing issues when typing.
While it was a big seller for Verizon, almost every unit had to be returned for repair. Sadly, the sequel was produced correctly and might have been a big hit if not for the Motorola DROID and Android. Over the subsequent years, BlackBerry tried to compete with the big names like Apple and Samsung, and even replaced BlackBerryOS with Android to keep a freezer full of popular apps.
