Petition updateSmartphone Manufacturers: we want modern ANDROID Smartphones with physical keyboard (Slider) !New, mysterious Blackberry 'Slider' announced during MWC 2015 in Barcelona, with slide-out keyoard and support for ANDROID apps
Christian WiesnerRegensburg, Germany
May 8, 2015 — https://n4bb.com/blackberry-slider-years-high-end-touch-device/ Blackberry will launch a new Hi-End model this year, a top end smartphone with a slide-out physical keyboard, known under the codename 'the slider' until now. As what i could see from browsing the corresponding boards, a number of former XT897 Photon Q users with SIM-card mod have explored the Blackberry Passport recently, and as Blackberry's new Operating Systems (from 10.2) are offering support for various Android Apps, some of them even sold their modded XT897 and changed to the Blackberry completely. However, a number of Android apps reportedly don't work correctly on the BB Passport, because of it's rather unusual Display format, being almost a square. 'The Slider' won't have these problems obviously, it's display format will be very similar to most other smartphones today, the physical keyboard will slide out underneath on demand. I find this quite exciting, but definitely interesting enough to let you know, my dear fellow supporters of this Online petition. Should there be more news about 'The Slider', you may expect another update for sure.
