BlackBerry Will No Longer Make Their Own Smartphones

BlackBerry has revealed it's getting out of the hardware business and instead will "outsource that function to partners." This doesn't mean we’ll never see another BlackBerry phone again, they just won't produced one themselves anymore. This was the case for BlackBerry's DTEK50. Thoughts on BlackBerry getting out of the hardware business. I believe its the end of an era, for there was a time were you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing a BlackBerry much like the sidekick.
