Blackberry is always coming late to the party.

They were the last to embrace touchscreen technology.

They were the last major phone manufacturers to recognise that Android is better than their useless outdated Blackberry OS.

And now they are the last to finally introduce dual sim.

Always bringing up the rear. That's why the mobile phone market dumped your sorry asses.

Hmmm !
Better late than never!!

Who still use BB ?
That battery sucking demon

hope they have improve on their battery durability that to matters a lot.

Who blackberry epp

The Aurora word remind me of geophysics.

There's no hope of it reaching the shores of Nigeria, so peeps, don't be keenly interested in this. Made in Indonesia, and for Indonesians.

NO

at least if they finally do it , and reduce the price of it you will see that many people will buy their product. I see them coming back.
