plans to release smartphones running the latest Android operating system. instead of its own BlackBerry 10 system.

detailed that it will release one smartphone with a curved touch screen and a slide-out keyboard, another in the Porsche Design line, well as one with a standard keyboard.

Once a dominant force on the mobile phone market, BlackBerry’s current market share is now less than 1 percent, in comparison the 78 percent share
Android currently commands.
