BlackBerry phones - once the pinnacle of a mobile handset with their trademark physical keyboard - are effectively dead from today as the Canadian company behind them pulls its support

"The Apple App Store was only a few months old. About 70% of smartphones sold at the time had operating systems offered by BlackBerry and Nokia."

By then, BlackBerry had less than 1% market share and Apple and Samsung dominated worldwide phone sales. The company itself had completed its transition to a security software business by 2016, which is when it stopped making its own smartphones. However it decided to continue maintaining the software"as an expression of thanks" to loyal partners and customers who appreciated its physical keyboard as well as its security features.
