Recently, an announcement was made that BlackBerry is stopping manufacturing for BlackBerry Classic. This lead to misconception by many to think that BlackBerry discontinuing all BlackBerry 10 devices.
Just to reiterate, we @BlackBerry love keyboards, we love #BB10 AND we love secure BlackBerry Android. None are going away…

“Our roadmap is completely driven by our customers. We are absolutely not backing away from BB10 because we have a huge amount of customers on BB10 and high expectations from that group.” Beard said. Additionally, Beard noted that “The company’s never said that we would not build another BB10 device.”
BlackBerry continues to sell BlackBerry 10 smartphones, and BlackBerry 10.3.3 will be released next month, and a future update is planned for next year. As for the future device roadmap, Beard notes BlackBerry’s next Android-based handset release is “very, very imminent,” though, he stopped there offering no further details. The next event coming up for BlackBerry is the BlackBerry Security Summit, which takes place on July 19 in New York.
