They have communication products that address crisis communication with federal government agencies in the US and the rest of the world.

Here is a blog post from them regarding the incident.

Are you a BlackBerry PR rep or something? I'm probably the least observant poster on this board and have noticed you shilling for them for months. It's weird.

I am a Blackberry guy myself but I may consider this Keyone, there is a lot to like with this phone. I saw it for sale on Wal-Mart's site, $650 for an unlocked version.

So far all the reviews and videos I have found online are totally pumped. Its quite strange to see such positive energy for a Blackberry in 2017 but it sounds like a lot of people are excited about something DIFFERENT in the world of Android.

Just my thoughts

I am not a person who plays games on their phone or anything but the screen size may not be an ideal size for people who do A TON of games and video watching. You get to use more of the screen than a similar sized touchscreen since you don't have the pop up keyboard but it get's the job done for what 90% of people use their phones for.

If your looking for something different and something that actually has a little retro thrill back kind of cool, go for one. That is one way somebody described it to me, retro-cool, hipster style. I never had any other phone other than a Blackberry keyboard phone.

Just my $.02

I am currently using a Blackberry Keyone and I love it. The smoothness, build quality and the design is amazing. The battery life last's forever!

I know Blackberry has a bad rep the last few years and stuff but these are different now. They all run Android Nougat, have access to all the apps.

The best thing about the device is that I get a lot of compliments on the design. I think a lot of people just don't find all the black glass slab screens as exciting as before and a lot of people have good memories of back in the day when their Blackberry was the #1 phone.

Anyhow if anybody is looking for something different and has any questions, hit me up with anything and I will try and help out!
