BlackBerry’s keyboard is back for one last dance

BlackBerry has officially stopped making its own phones, but the company has one last treat for die-hard fans: a new phone sporting its trademark physical keyboard.

Chief Executive Officer John Chen had hinted at the phone in September, but hadn’t confirmed it until Thursday, when he spoke to Emily Chang in an interview on Bloomberg TV.

“We have one keyboard phone I promised people,” Chen said. “It’s coming.”

Under Chen, BlackBerry has gradually shifted from smartphones to software and said in September it would completely stop producing, stocking and distributing its own phones. Instead, it will license the BlackBerry brand to outside companies to put on phones they build themselves.

The physical keyboard is BlackBerry’s best-known smartphone feature, with many former users still lamenting its absence as they clumsily tap out emails on their iPhones and sign off with words like “pardon the typos”.


Chen, a Republican who served on president George W. Bush’s advisory council on exports, said earlier this year he was worried about Donald Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric. On Thursday, he said he hopes that as president, Trump will surround himself with moderates and pare back threats to end some visas for foreign tech workers.

“It happened, so we need to make the best out of it,” Chen said of Trump’s election. “Nobody really knows what he’s going to do next.”

- Euro Disney, which owns Disneyland Paris, on Thursday posted record annual losses in the wake of the jihadist attacks on Paris which weighed heavily on tourist bookings.

During its financial year, which ended in September, group turnover fell 6.91 percent to 1.27 billion euros following a 10 percent drop in visitor numbers, a statement said.

“Disneyland Paris had an exceptionally challenging year. We have been impacted by various external factors that have significantly affected the tourism business in the Paris region,” said Euro Disney president Catherine Powell in the statement.

“In this adverse environment, revenue decreased seven percent. This, together with the increase in costs driven by our future growth strategy of continually improving the guest experience plus the costs of additional security measures, resulted in a significant decrease in our operating performance for the fiscal year.”

The statement was issued as France prepares to mark the year anniversary of the deadly attacks on the French capital which claimed 130 lives.


Over the period, the group registered a net loss attributable to shareholders of 705 million euros, compared with 84.2 million the previous year.

Overall net loss stood at 858 million euros for the year, which included a 565 million euro impairment charge.

“As a result of the adverse economic conditions of the tourism industry in Paris... the group performed an impairment test of all its long-lived assets and determined its assets were impaired,” it said.
