Blackberry returns this 2017

It’s 2017 and I think you have to refine your BBM skills because Blackberry is coming back. Yes, you read that right.

A giant Chinese tech branch called TCL will be releasing the BlackBerry smartphone this year which will be called Mercury.

It will surely be different from the ones we used to own but guess what? It will still have the QWERTY keyboard we all miss from all these touchscreen devices we have now.

The new BlackBerry “Mercury” will concentrate on three things: security, productivity and reliability.

However, Blackberry Mercury’s date of release and price are still yet to be announced by the company.

With this unit’s new features, would you consider saying goodbye to your iPhone this 2017?
