The words used almost make it sound as though it wasn't TCL's decision to end the branding license agreement, but that isn't explicitly stated, and it could be that TCL opted not to review for one of many reasons: perhaps a lack of popularity. TCL declined to comment further on this when we asked for further information. While there's been nothing official said until now, there have been rumours about BlackBerry devices from TCL ending for a little while. After all, there hasn't been a new phone for some time. The company's last BlackBerry launch was the Key2 LE, which was unveiled in August 2018, and hit the market way back in October 2018. Whether this means that the license for BlackBerry products will pass to a new manufacturer, we don't know. But it could well be that those QWERTY-equipped pocket productivity powerhouses are dead, again. For now at least, it's good-bye BlackBerry. It's been emotional.
