| You can’t keep a good BlackBerry down. BlackBerry is dead, long live BlackBerry. Or, at the very least, you shouldn’t count your BlackBerrys before they’ve hatched. Because this certainly isn’t the first time the company has been declared dead, but through a combination of software offerings, intellectual property and a devoted fanbase, the Canadian smartphone maker keeps powering through.
And now, a mere weeks after the press declared the final nail plunged into its coffin when it announced the end of in-house hardware production, the company is back. With a new piece of hardware, no less. Of course, as its name implies, BlackBerry’s new handset has much more in common with the company’s most recent offering, the DTEK50 than past devices – which is to say that it has, as announced outsourced hardware production here once again.
In fact, the same company is responsible for both devices – and it shows. Chinese hardware maker TCL, the manufacturer behind Alcatel’s devices. In fact, the phone looks to be tweaked version of the TCL 950 handset which has been popping up around the web in recent months.
As with that device, the DTEK60 brings a 5.5-inch display to the proceedings (a decent size increase over the 50’s 5.2-inch screen – and BlackBerry’s largest to date) and a 21-megapixel rear-facing camera. So, what sets the device apart from TCL’s version? Familiar branding aside, the new phone will sink or swim on its software offering – the same suite of security and productivity apps that came loaded on its last phone. |
