This termination affected devices running BlackBerry 7.1 OS and earlier, BlackBerry 10 software, and BlackBerry PlayBook OS 2.1 and earlier, causing them to no longer reliably function for data, phone calls, SMS, and 9-1-1 functionality.

These Android devices featured the iconic QWERTY keyboard and were marketed as a return to the Philippine market.

What happened to BlackBerry's mobile phone business?

BlackBerry's mobile phone business declined significantly after the rise of the iPhone and Android ecosystems. The company was unprepared for the shift towards touchscreen smartphones and app stores.
